Amusing Zynchronicity

[traveller1st Profile]

Thankyou for this thread btw now I have somewhere to put stuff like this.

So far we've had watches and boats and astrology - now we have records. Zodiac Records NZ to be more precise. For added ZYNC the record label was started in the guy's basement

That's certainly in questionable taste, and risks offending the sensibilities of the public, I'd say. Hope it bombed!

Ah I see what you mean. Don't know which way round the coincidence works but the label was founded in 1957 and they had a few different logos. I'm trying to find out when this logo dates from but I think it was one of the first incarnations. In later years they used a heavy sans serif logo with itself reflected/repeated below it.

Ah! And of course Oh! It hadn't occured to me that the logo was first, my my.

According to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Pierson#Recordings
then "If You Only Loved Me (Rubenstein) / Just One Tender Look" (C Papesch), was from 1968.

Does that mean this record had this logo on it in 1968 then?

Well well well.

Gawsh.

They receive letter from 'Z' wannabees, and even dress up in Lake Berryessa attire for promotional purposes.

Is nothing sacred?

Wow. That sets a new standard in bad taste.
