Norton Records, founded in 1986 with the purpose of reissuing forgotten rarities from the 50s and 60s (and 70s) has released countless 45's, LPs and CDs. Now they're releasing some of their 45″ single series digitally, starting November 4th. The release promises a glut of legendary performers and classically undervalued tracks, including stuff by Herbie Duncan, Screamin' Jay Hawkings and the Ramones' original demo. Get a deeply unsatisfying but somewhat amusing taste of the soon-to-be-digitally-available music on this mock up sampler:
