User talk:Doug Moody Mystic Records

Hello  I read the article on Faction.....some facts are not mentioned. Faction contacted me (Doug Moody) Adam (bomb) Segal wanted me to record the group...they came to Mystic Stdio signed the usual one page agreement I recorded them....they were never on the Mystic Label...they were on a limited release on THRASH RECORDS... I ran 1000 12 inch mini lps...Adam also asked me to distribute his LP..... they were not widely known and their sales were limited.

I have not limited the pirating of the Faction Mystic copyrighted recordings or art work......someone would have had a jail sentence.

Mystic is not a 'sleazy' record company as you describe it.... I put over half a million dollars into recording groups that no other label wanted. I created a platform for young voices who wanted their country to listen to them... I recorded and released over 500 unknown bands and I am still keeping that theme alive and I am 78.

I had 41 gold and plat. records before I started Mystic Records in the 70s. I financed Mystic and I am proud of my achievement.... I feel sorry for those who did not become famous and are embittered....no group on Mystic ever sold over 4,000 LPs or SuperSevens.....we were distributed mainly in California...all groups received 10% of manufacted goods... Feel free to contact me MysticRecordMail@aol.com   My thanks to those of you who have helped promote the groups and Mystic      Doug Moody
