Scope and content
Publicity for the legendary Tacoma based rock band "The Wailers." L to R: Buck Ormsby, Richard Dangel, Mike Burk, Mark Marush, Kent Morrill. Unhappy with their treatment by the major record companies, Ormsby, Morrill, and Rockin' Robin Roberts formed in 1961 the first alternative independent record label owned by members of a performing band, Etiquette Records. From 1961, all of their material was self recorded and self promoted. They produced a number of other artists from the Northwest as well, including the Sonics.
