  • Silver Eagle Discography
    Silver Eagle USA Discography by Mike Callahan, David Edwards & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Silver Eagle Discography Silver Eagle was a Canadian company headquartered near Toronto at 115 Apple Creek Blvd., Markham, Ontario, Canada. The label was a subsidiary of LaBuick & Associates Media, Inc., and label President was Ed LaBuick. The Media company specialized in TV marketing, and in addition to Silver Eagle also promoted Time-Life. In addition to LPs, Cassettes, and CDs, Silver Eagle also released videos. They established an office in the US at 4 Centre Drive, Orchard Park, NY (later, 777 N. Palm Canyon Dr., Palm Springs, CA), and often licensed product from the Special Products Divisions of the major record labels. They typically would pre-sell an album using 2-minute TV spots in stations across the country, then use that demand to place product in retail stores. They had their own manufacturing plant and distribution system, and according to LaBuick, sold many millions of albums. LaBuick later became head of the Music Division and Special Products Division of the major Quality Label in Canada. Note: All distributed by Silver Eagle unless noted otherwise.

    Pro vi nc·ial ·day of protest Pull-out center special Laurier University. Waterloo, Ontario Volume 25, Number 11 Student tenants sue landlords by Andrea Cole and Chuck Kirkham A decision by student tenants at 344 Hazel Street _North to take their landlords to court may have far· reachin~ effects. The tenants have formed a tenancy association and are taking their landlords to court to battle their contention they have converted the building into a boarding house. If the courts decide that the building now conforms to boarding house regulations, the landlords will be able to contravene some of the regulations of the Landlord and Tenant Act. If the building is a boarding house, it is regulated by the Innkeepers Act. In an effort to meet the requirements of the Innkeepers Act, the landlords, Manfred Hackenburg Sr. and son, claim to have installed a new plumbing system, furnished all of the rooms, provided a cleaning and linen service, and installed locks on the back and front entrances and the bedroom doors. The tenants claim that these renovations are not sufficient to warrent a change to boarding house status. The main complaint of the students is that the Hackenburgs are charging pro·rated rent. The agreement that all tenants have signed calls for payment of the rent for the one-year period in nine payments. The first of these would be paid on the day that the agreement was signed, and the last the first day of April. The Hackenburgs claim that this method of payments is because they are not accelerating monthly payments.
