North Carolina's collectable Justice label

I'm not going to re-invent the wheel.  Swedish record collector Patrick Lundberg (aka The Lama), previously published a great online article about North Carolina's collectable Justice label, complete with brief reviews on most of the label's albums.  You can find his entertaining and in-depth article at:  http://www.lysergia.com/LamaWorkshop/lamaJustice.htm

Not mentioned in Patrick's article is the fact there are some Justice 45s.  I've only heard a couple of them so I can't claim to be an expert.  Among those I've managed to track down:

- Rockets Combo 'Topless a-Go-Go' b/w 'Grab This And Dance!' (Justice catalog number JS 3003)
- The Turks 'Tell Me Now' b/w 'Dancing in the Street' (Justice catalog number JS 3004)

Another tidbit not mentioned in Patrick's article is the entire Justice album catalog was reissued on CD by the Collectables label.  Given original Justice LPs command premium prices, the CD reissues are a good way to check some of these releases out without having to take out a bank loan.
