[bomp] Empire & Rondack

["Will Shade" <willshade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Two  years worth of research here. Hmmmm. Probably nobody cares except
   me!  LOL!  At  least it keeps me out of trouble. No more gun fights in
   the  middle  of  the woods with rival parties of bear hunters. Anyway,
   been  tracking  down  and  cataloging  various and sundry 45s from the
   North  Country  of  New York and Burlington; basically the Plattsburgh
   and Burlington scenes as well as associated locales. Not everything is
   Rondack  or  Empire released, but it'll give one a sense of the scene.
   I'll break it up into a couple parts. Anyway:

   There  are other Rondack Records 45s such as The Inspirations (a truly
   hideous  single) and a terrible version of Shake, Rattle and Roll by a
   group  whose name escapes me at the moment. More at a future date as I
   acquire them.
