History of K-Tel in the Independent...

[Little Jimmy Oddman]

Just in case anyone didn't see it, there was a nice history of the ever-present K-Tel records in the Independent at the weekened that you can find at http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/m...p?story=599484

Didn't know that Ronco was set up by Mr K-Tel's jealous ex-boss' son...nice!

Fascinating stuff - I'd have missed that if you hadn't put it here!

Not a problem!

it was nice how the history fitted in exactly with what you find in the charities. that first 3m selling K-Tel UK comp, the later odd rivals, the switch to the Now... and Hits comps... i'd unconsciously picked up that history just from seeing the bloody things, so was nice to actually read more about it. was something i'd never really thought about before
