TUMBLEWEED
RECORDS
Independent American label from Denver: Tumbleweed Records
was a subsidiary of Gulf + Western, Tumbleweed was the brainchild of
producer Bill Szymczyk and head of promotion for ABC-Dunhill Larry
Ray. It made records between 1971 and 1973, mainly of a stoned
Country-Rock nature. Some of its albums made it to Britain through EMI,
which handled all the G+W labels; there was also a solitary single released,
Danny Holien's 'Colorado' b/w 'Red Wing' (TBW-251; 1/73), which had been a hit
for the company in the States. For a single issued by a major company
'Colorado' proved horribly difficult to track down; presumably it didn't sell in
any quantity. As can be seen, the credits are in different places on the
issue and demo copies, for some reason. Distributed By EMI Records.
