The ESP-Disk' Label

ESP-Disk' The label was begun by lawyer Bernard Stollman in 1964. The original series continued until 1976. Several numbers are available with alternate covers. Pressings are generally poor. The ESP-Disk' label lives! See http://espdisk.com. The CDs are nicely produced and often include additional material, either music or interviews, and in some cases video.
