We took terrific pops albums from 14 record labels including the brilliant Capitol catalog and put them on Pickwick/33. Big names like Judy Garland, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ferrante & Teicher and Ray Anthony. Then we packaged them in magnificent jackets that reflect the top talent within. Why? So you could sell more Pickwick/33 $2 records. The market is there. 20 million impulse record buyers. And at a $2 pre -discounted selling price these great recordings of big names mean fast turnover. Besides that, Pickwick/33 has a product identity that no other has. It's the $2 record that's sold like a national brand.
