However, it hss been just in the past two year3 that the discs have begun to make an impact on the record-buying public. Area record stores are stocking mere locally pro duced alburns, as well as singles and extended-play singles. In addition, the records are finding their way into the hand3 cf more and more cf Lincoln's music fans. Which record labels are producing material for the Lincoln market? Host groups who decide to record do so with their own original label to avoid legal and financial problems. Others seek out the experience and leadership of an established label Although established record companies are few in Lincoln, one that did fare well was Candy Apple records. Candy Apple recently discontinued its opera tions. The label was a four-year project for Jim Lud wig of Lincoln. Ludwig, who has had a hand in numerous recordings here, produced four albums and one single with Candy Apple. Magic Slim and the Teardrops, the Heartmurmurs, Sour Hash and John Walker all released material on the label Although Candy Apple is not currently operating, Ludwig said he plans to keep working in the Lincoln music business by getting involved with Lincoln's newest label, Blue Dog Records. Blue Dog soon will release its first album, a set fry Magic Slim and the Teardrops. The label i3 a joint Cbarlie Eartca 'raieaead trr3 ; . .' itw, : .- v...-. Cfccxt btvceri I..!acc . .; ... .. .
