 | | Our label began as Bizarre Records (and its companion label, Straight Records) in 1968, as a partnership between rock manager Herb Cohen and Frank Zappa. |
 | | Then, in 1988, Bizarre/Straight, as it was then called, entered into a distribution arrangement with Enigma Records, which released albums by TIM BUCKLEY (including the never-before-heard Dream Letter: Live In London 1968), Alice Cooper, The GTOs, Lord Buckley, The Persusions, Captain Beefheart, and others. |
 | | This time, the focus was on the San Diego scene, and albums were recorded and released by local heroes THE RUGBURNS, bluesman Earl Thomas, jump-blues guy Buddy Blue (after he left The Beat Farmers), and songwriters Gregory Page and Joy Eden Harrison. |
