Mysteries & Theories Was there ANY rhyme or reasoning the UTC releases? And do we really know what years they individually were released? And what about his use of Rae instead of Ray? The first real "hype" reason to use Rae would be the Operation, #7, but #1 has it. I guess we can assume all the 10 inchers were issued first, and they all say Ray. UTC
1 Rae 10"
releases: I think I'm ready to accept that ALL the 10" releases were done first, then the 12" albums started, and so did Rae. To compound the mystery is the advertizing of other releases on the album back jackets. The 10" advertizing seems to be only mentioning the other 10" releases, backing up the idea that they were done first. But how could, for example for the 10" ones, #3 and #4 advertize all 6? So, for the ten inchers, at least 3-6 were done together. And note they do Not advertize any LPs. And the LPs starting with #3, all ten are advertized, which does not make sense unless the last eight were released at the same time. So,
it "could" have happened in these steps, like this.. Yes, I know, how could any artist afford to release 8 LPs at the same time, but how else would #3 know about #10? But his LPs apparently sold well, as they show up on eBay all the time. With all my newspaper archive research, I never found any mention of the release of the recordings that would tie to any year. If anyone can verify when a particular LP or 10" was released I would love to hear about it. |
