Groove Merchant

Profile:

1970s label founded by A&R man/producer Pickwick between 1971 and 1976, its catalog is a sampling goldmine.

It was succeeded by the 51 West label in 1979 to reissue Groove Merchant material.

Lester was largely inactive until the CD age when, after several poor-quality CD reissues via LaserLight, he reactivated the label as LRC Ltd. - Groove Merchant reissuing material from the combined Groove Merchant/LRC catalog and new recordings.
