LANCE HISTORICAL NOTES: Tommy Bee left Lance Records after the 121A/122B release and the order numbers on the 45s changed thereafter to just one set instead of two . . . The Rockin' Aces 45 is not in the Lance collection and a copy of it hasn't resurfaced since its 1967 release . . . Lance Records released only one album - "Floresitas Mexicanas." . . . A total of seventeen 45s (34 tracks) were released by Lance Records between 1966 and 1967; however, a spin-off label owned by Lance was created for Latino tracks only. Called Lobo Records, it carries the Lance Logo and was responsible for only one release: "Con Cartitas" b/w "La Ladina" by Little Ralph's Combo (Lobo 101) . . . Lance Records began with The Kreeg in May 1966 and ended with Mother Sturtcman's Jams and Jellies in November 1967. The Kreeg had made a name change to Mother Sturtcman’s Jams and Jellies.
