Im not aware of any other small indie record companies that existed prior to Hearpen. Did you actually have a model for what you were doing, or are the singles Hearpen released as ground-breaking as they seem today – from both an artistic and a business standpoint?
Television actually beat us to the punch by a couple months with Little Johnny Jewel. The model for what we were doing was the Salvation Army used record bins. I wanted to make a record of what we had been working on from 1973 to 1975 and I figured somebody someday would find it in a used record bin (and at that point the only used record bins were at SA) and that would be our legacy. That was the extent of the plan.
