Reviews
I don't know a great deal about the Tribute label (does anyone ?). It was based in New York City and only seems to have released
about a dozen albums including a couple with ties to former Tea Company front man Frankie Carr
None are easy to locate and as far as I know, none have ever been reissued.
The 'tax scam' genre seems to have had a brief heyday - roughly 1976 to 1978, though there are some labels that released material up through the early 1980s. I'm guessing that there must have been some changes to Federal tax laws that made it difficult, or illegal to maintain the scheme beyond that timeframe. There also seem to have been business and 'artistic' connections between many of the tax scam labels. The best known are those associated with the Prelude label (Dellwood, Guinness, and Tomorrow), Morris Levy's infamous Tiger Lily label, and Huey Meaux's Crazy Cajun label. Also frequently associated with the tax scam world are Bob Gallo (aka Robert John Gallo) and his Mandala label, Mike Pinera's Illusion label, and the mysterious Johnny Kitchen who is associated with the Album Globe, Album World, and Koala labels. Other, smaller outfits included Baby Grand, Dobre, Rocking Horse, Tribute, and Lloyd Price's TSG label. I'm sure there are more.
