LANCE HISTORICAL NOTES: The Vandels' 45 is not in the Lance collection and a copy of it hasn't resurfaced since its 1967 release. . . . Tommy Bee left Lance Records after the 121A/122B release and the order numbers on the 45s changed thereafter to just one set instead of two. . . . The artist for Lance Records 125 is unknown but it's a good bet that it was a Spanish release by Little Joe and the Blazers or Manny and the Casanovas. . . . The Rockin' Aces 45 is not in the Lance collection and a copy of it hasn't resurfaced since its 1967 release. . . . Lance Records released only one album - "Floresitas Mexicanas." . . . It appears that a total of seventeen 45s (34 tracks) were released by Lance Records between 1966 and 1967; however, a spin-off label owned by Lance was created for Spanish tracks only. Called Lobo Records, it carried the Lance Logo and was responsible for only one release: "Con Cartitas" b/w "La Ladina" by Little Ralph's Combo (Lobo 101). . . . Lance Records of the mid-'60s began with The Kreeg and ended with them (Kreeg changed their name to Mother Sturtcman's Jams and Jellies in November 1967)
