This is the last know Starday Custom I have found. There is a rumour of a Dixie 1188, but no info on it was ever forthcoming - so this site ends here. There are other customs pressed by Starday that had their own numbering series - but that will have to wait a while before I tackle it - if I ever find the time.

I will be adding any additions and some artist info as I go along but it'll be sporadic. Thanks for hanging around since 2009 whilst I tried to find the time to keep up with this site whilst life got in the way :-)

Finally, a huge thanks to the following:-

Big Al Turner, Dean Craige Morris, Terry Gordon, Nate Gibson, Neil Scott and Pascal Perrault.
You have always been there to offer info, advice and encouragement at the times when I struggled to find the time to simple add a post. Sorry it took me so long to finish :-)

And finally - Phil Tricker - I had struggled to keep this blog going once you passed away. I miss the phone calls and visits to Chateau Tricker. Your enthusiasm was contagious. I lost count of the times you played me some monster Rockabilly record I had never heard of. Or me waffling on about some obscure record and you flourishing a photo of the artist or some newspaper clipping. Your stories about traveling around the US on a greyhound bus with a suitcase full of records with your clothes in a carrier bag! Life is a little poorer without you.......but at least God will now be able to tell the difference between a Kay Bank and a Capitol Pressing :-)
