Statement: "...This logo may have been on a few other Chicagoland groups records, such as "The Cryan Shames" Columbia albums...." highly unlikely.

The statement in "History" section: "...This logo may have been on a few other Chicagoland groups records, such as "The Cryan Shames" Columbia albums...." is very highly unlikely and probably untrue. The Cryan Shames (Chicago group) were on Columbia Records. It doesn't seem possible that the Dunwich logo would have been allowed to appear on a Columbia disc. Dunwich was an independent label, usually distributed nationally by Atco Records, which had no connection to Columbia (the Wiki article does say that sometimes the label was licensed through Columbia, but that after April of 1966, it was licensed exclusively thrhogh Atco). It just doesn't seem possible. Garagepunk66 (talk) 21:41, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I went onto Google images and looked at pictures of the record labels of the Cryan Shames. Before they signed to Columbia, they were on the Destination label: these records had labels in plain, solid light greenish blue or dark blue backgrounds with plain lettereing and wording--there are no Dunwich "lute and bubble caption" graphics. Their Columbaia singels had the regualr familair Columbia logo and design on the labels. The statement mentioned above will likely need to be removed at some point. But we could check into this further. Garagepunk66 (talk) 21:52, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
