Charly

Charly Records, also known as Charly, is a British label specializing in reissuing old music from iconic catalogs such as Sun Record Company and Chess. Founded by Jean-Luc Young in France in 1974 and later moved to England in 1975, Charly Records has become a renowned name in the industry.

Throughout its history, Charly Records established various associated companies for licensing and rights, including Charly Records International APS based in Denmark and Charly Holdings Inc. registered in the USA. In the 1990s, they collaborated with Movieplay Portuguesa for CD releases, resulting in the presence of SPA rights society on those releases.

Despite being dissolved in 2001, Charly Records underwent new management and became part of the Snapper Music group. Today, it continues to distribute its reissued music through their extensive network.

The Flower Power were formed in Gulfport, MS, in October 1967 by Craig Ferguson, guitar and lead vocal (formerly of The Soule Survivors), Robert Weathersby, David Mcintosh and Sandi Craig (from Sandi and the Gang Band) and Joe Rolison from The Varments on bass. They were still in their teens aged between15 to 17 years old. They gigged in local clubs and bars up and down the Gulf Coast and, by good fortune, met their future managers Tom and Paul Krimsier in a radio station car park in New Orleans. Tom’s father-in-law was none other than Joe Banashak, a prominent producer and record label owner. He signed them to his Tune-Kel imprint in early 1968 and they cut their first single, ‘Bye Bye Baby’, at the famed Cosimo Recording Studios. With the Krimsier Management on board the band moved up a gear backing the likes of B.J.Thomas, Jimi Hendrix, Sly and the Family Stone, The Nazz, Todd Rundgren and many others. On Sunday, August 31st The Flower Power were the opening act at the first New Orleans Pop Festival, a two day event with Janis Joplin, Santana and The Grateful Dead. They continued to record for Banashak and released five singles on Tune- Kel, all highly collectable today. They also laid down some material in Houston, Texas, unreleased until now!
