The Scorpio Records Story

Another set from the Nuggets From The Golden State series, of which there are several. This time they document the Scorpio Records label, an imprint of Fantasy Records. Scorpio would only last two years, amassing only 13 releases during that time, two of which were cancelled.

The labels best known act was of course the Golliwogs from El Cerrito, who would change their name to Creedence Clearwater Revival and go on to great success.
