Folks know this label for released by The Happenings and The Tokens and that's about it. Part of the problem
is that the rest of the B.T. Puppy catalog is extremely rare and if even if you could find most of the releases
shown below, you're going to pay and arm and a leg for them. There's even debate as to whether numerous
entries on the B.T. Puppy discography actually exist. Yes, LPs like The Purple Haze Band and Bill Wyman's
Free Country show up on various lists, but as far as I can tell, nobody has ever produced a copy.
Just to reiterate, the values reflected below are just guesstimates on my part - guesses as to what a copy in
decent shape might fetch on the open market. These don't reflect albums that I have for sale.
I'm a little reluctant to include the B.T. Puppy label (the initials stood for The Token's publishing company -
Bright Tunes) since there were some significant differences from the operating norms of the other tax scam
labels listed here. For one thing, the company was active nearly a decade before these other outfits. B.T.
Puppy also differed from the other labels in that it started out as a legitimate enterprise enjoying several
major sellers with LP and 45s by The happenings, The Tokens, and some other artists. While it's hard to
identify a specific date when the label moved from legitimacy to tax scam front, B.T. Puppy releases start
to become eclectic and highly scarce with the release of 1969's "Life Is Groovy" by the United States Double
Quintet.
