QUALITY



Canadian, from Toronto.  The Quality company issued a lot of records in its native land, from 1950-c.85; its appearances over here were limited to an album, by the Stampeders, and three singles, all of which came out in 1976.  Numbers were in a QUPS-0 series; QUPS-2 seems not to have been used.  Quality was run by George Keane from its inception until c.1978; in Britain it was handled by Private Stock and distributed by EMI.  With a name like that, you would expect the label design to have a bit more oomph than it does - gold lettering, at the very least.  Demo copies were marked with a central black 'A' (2).  A history of the company, by Edward B. Moogk, is available online but my attempts to link to it have failed.
