It is a an LA label. Kim Fowley was the recording manager and alot of the 
stuff has his fingerprints all over it. "Popsicles and Icicles" by The 
Murmaids (which was written by David Gates) is on the label. I also have 
some Thee Midniters 45s on the label (including a version of "Land Of 1000 
Dances" that was released around the same time as Cannibal and The 
Headhunters version). We have a good chunk of the label's output, including 
"Inferno". There's something about it that always kind of reminded me of 
"Telstar". It's ok and though not as good as I'd hoped, it's worth picking 
up (but I wouldn't want to pay more than $20). I picked most of mine up when 
I lived near Echo Park and only paid a buck or two for the records. "Ebony" 
is a lot better- it's pretty similar to "Hideaway" by Freddie King. You can 
check out a sample of the record (and "Ebony") here
