Thunderbird Recordings existed in Brant County from September 5th 1974 to December 21st 1978, and was founded by James Arthur 'Jim' Allison. The label issued 31 singles and 5 albums. For the two CD collections, we used only one version of songs, which were issued in stereo and mono in some cases, and singles that were issued twice. 

                                  James Arthur 'Jim' Allison
                                             1932 - 1994

They're Here!

We here at Thunderbird Recordings/Germanicus Records are very pleased to announce that the two Volumes of Thunderbird Music is now available on CD as of today, August 23rd 2019. The track listings to these CD's will be found by scrolling down this page.

At retail the CD's are available exclusively at:

The Merrifield Bookshop, 471 Dundas Street, Woodstock, ON, N4S 1C2  519-539-4220

The Brantford Bookworm, 331 Brant Avenue, Brantford, ON, N3T 3J8   226-938-1628

Grooves Records, 236 Dundas Street, London, ON, N6A 1H3, 519-640-6714

At the retail level each CD will sell for $19.97 plus the sales tax. They will also be available by mail order from our head office for $20 each, plus $5 shipping. This fee will be the same whether you order just one disc, or both. So with postage you'd be looking at $25 for one CD, or $45 for both CD's mailed at the same time. In the USA, this will be payable in US funds.

To accommodate the CD format, there has been a slight change to the CD's.  Don Oatman's hit "Just for You," has been taken off the A-Sides and moved to the B-Sides, replacing his version of "Feelings." So, Feelings is not available on the CD format at all, only the Download format. We apologize to Don for this, but we had to keep the CD's under 79 minutes.

The A-Sides CD has 28 tracks, while the B-Sides CD has 27 tracks. This discs are packed!

We are all very excited to have this music available on Compact Disc! Thanks again to Andrew Foster and Stan Antone for their unparalleled contributions to this project. It wouldn't have happened without either of you!

Last Call For The Original Version of The Yellow Book

I wanted to let folks out there know that I have just one copy left of the first edition of 'That Brant County Sound!' book, also known as the Yellow Book. Besides my one copy, there are also limited copies still available here....

The Merrifield Bookshop, 471 Dundas Street, Woodstock, ON, N4S 1C2 519-539-4220

The Brantford Bookworm, 331 Brant Avenue, Brantford, ON, N3T 3J8 226-938-1628

The Oxford Bookshop, 262 Piccadilly Street, London, ON, N6A 1S4 519-438-8336

Once I'm totally sold out, I plan to release a revised edition, so if you'd like a copy of the original, this is your time to act now. The revised edition will add some new information plus fix a couple of mistakes I made when I was guesstimating. Only Jim Allison knows for sure what really happened, but I've done by best. Thanks for your continued support, Tom Ryerson
