What Jerry Sims and Terry Bell of the Monuments had to say about the CD:

"I got the CD today and just finished listening to it. You knew I would love it. Terry called this evening and he is pleased very much. It is just the greatest. I wish this could be done face to face because you would get a kick out of seeing me beam. We are just so thrilled and happy.  You were so professional and nice to correspond with and keep us up on what was happening. Thank you again. It is all and more than what I hoped for."

"Your work on this project is truly appreciated. I've wanted  for years to transfer the old tapes to a CD because I knew the old tapes were falling apart. This has inspired me, and I'm sure the other band members, to get together more and just play music. You guys have made a lot of "old rock n' rollers"....very happy. Keep rockin' and keep up the wonderful work."

The Complete Yellow Payges

double CD collection

NSS-028

Much like The Kitchen Cinq, The Yellow Payges are another band whose recordings are unjustly unavailable...but we're correcting that oversight with this double CD collection!  All the band's singles and sole LP are included, as well as the band's promo only single "Finger Poppin' Party" and the ultra-rare "Yellow Payges Party Pak" theme song...taken directly from the band's 30-second TV commercial!  Songs provided by Max Waller with approval from Payges' leader Dan Hortter.

What Dan Hortter of the Yellow Payges had to say about the CDs:

"The CD's came yesterday and I was overwhelmed. I never expected anything as well done as what was put together. To say I was excited would be a gross understatement."

"Got the DBL CD yesterday and it's unbelievable what you put together. The art work, the insert, everything is so well done. Was the CD re-mastered, because it sure sounds like it was. It is much cleaner and crisper. I have played it for several people and they couldn't believe the quality given it was lifted from old 45's and a vinyl album."

"I want to personally thank you for the terrific job you did in putting together the Yellow Payges CD's. I guess you know by my emails...that I was more than overjoyed. I haven't heard some of these since their release. I can't thank you enough."
