"ETIQUETTE RULES! THE NORTHWEST'S REIGNING '60s GARAGE-ROCK RECORD COMPANY"
by Peter Blecha [Courtesy & copyright,2009, HistoryLink.org]
Etiquette Records -- a trail-blazing firm formed by three young Tacoma musicians in 1961 -- was an enterprise that broke all the old rules. Despite its polite and classy sounding name -- not to mention that of its sister company, Valet Publishing -- Etiquette quickly came to rule the Pacific Northwest's rock 'n' roll roost by producing and promoting raucous and gritty music that came to be favored by teenaged bands and their fans in the region.
Founded as a partnership by three members of Tacoma's top band, the Wailers -- "Rockin' Robin" Roberts (vocals), Kent Morrill (piano / vocals), and John "Buck" Ormsby (bass) -- Etiquette issued a grand total of 26 45s and eight LPs between 1961 and 1967. But it was not quantity so much as quality that made the company successful and influential. Etiquette initially erupted with the world's first garage-rock version of "Louie Louie" -- and went on to issue the classic Wailers At the Castle LP, the Sonics' proto-punk radio hits ("The Witch" and "Psycho") and their longplay masterpieces, Here Are the Sonics and Sonics Boom, among many other revered '60s classics.

Etiquette Label Designs:
The original retail design was a red label background, black top-hatted logo, diamond - like accents and black lettering. Initial Etiquette #1 pressings did not feature distribution information. Later pressings noted Distributed by Liberty Records Sales Corp. Los Angeles, Calif. on four lines to lower left of spindle hole. This distribution notation continued through Etiquette #7.
In early 1966, likely based on the '65 success of "The Witch" and other releases by Tacoma's Sonics, the label underwent a complete re-design. On retail discs the red and black format was replaced by a purple label background highlight by a white stylized e and ETIQUETTE centered above the spindle hole. Arced along the bottom label edge, also in white, was ETIQUETTE RECORDS, INC. TACOMA, WASH U.S.A. This design continued throughout the remainder of Etiquette 45 rpm releases.
Promotional discs for both design #1 (see example above) and design #2 sported traditional white label backgrounds with black logos, numerals and lettering.

MISC NOTES: This version of "Louie Louie" was the first "garage rock" version of Richard Berry's old R&B version of the song. It quickly became a #1 radio hit in Seattle during March-May, 1961. Following that success, Los Angeles' big-time Liberty Records stepped up and cut a deal with Etiquette Records, and fresh pressings included text identifying Liberty as the distributor. Later the song resurfaced again as a local radio hit in the spring/summer of 1962 during the Seattle World's Fair. Popular in the Northwest, the song just never broke out as a wider hit. "(In 1961) Liberty had (distribution for) the original rock version of 'Louie, Louie.' It was on Etiquette Records by (Rockin' Robin Roberts and) the Wailers. I bought the master because it was selling in the Northwest. But I couldn't convince anyone to go out and work it, especially Bob Skaff, who was head of promotion at the time. He said 'It's a white group, but they sound R&B, I can't promote that.' He wouldn't work it, and he didn't work it. Then (in 1963) the Kingsmen came out with an identical version. Our version was first, and (in 1964) I got it released on [the] Imperial album [Tall Cool One LP-9262] but (again) could not convince anyone that it was a hit."

As "The Witch" became a big radio hit on Seattle's KJR radio, the band returned to the studio, recorded an original tune, "Psycho," for a new B-side - so that the label didn't have to pay Little Richard royalties. "The Witch" / "Psycho" was rush-released. "The Witch" was recorded by Lyle Thompson at Commercial Productions studio, and "Psycho" was recorded by Kearney Barton.at Audio Recording.

A "CHRISTMAS" STORY by R. Bruce Smith
The 1965 Christmas season found a unique record in Northwest stores. It was an album of Christmas tunes titled Merry Christmas From The Sonics The Wailers The Galaxies. A Christmas album in itself was not unusual. What was different about this particular Christmas album was that it featured relatively quiet tunes by three Northwest rock groups, THE SONICS, THE WAILERS and THE GALAXIES. The three Tacoma, Washington groups were recording for that city's Etiquette Records, a label owned and operated by members of The Wailers. It was within that band that the idea to bring the groups together on a Phil Spector-like seasonal package was born. Production was begun in late summer '65 at Wiley-Griffith Studio, a small Tacoma recording facility with egg carton walls. Members of all three bands intermingled on the songs which included old standards, originals and familiar melodies with gimmick lyrics. John "Buck" Ormsby, bassist for the Wailers remembers: "There was no heart in any of the tunes, but we thought they might sell. Problem was, the whole project fell flat on its face. One of the songs by the Sonics was called "It's Christmas." It was the melody from "On Broadway" (a popular song done a year or so earlier by The Drifters) with Christmas lyrics (by Gerry Roslie). The package was finished and on the market when word came that we couldn't get publication rights to use the ('On Broadway') melody. We had to pull the whole works. What a fiasco." Withdrawn from stores, Merry Christmas faded into oblivion. But, as so often is the case, gone did not mean forgotten. Today copies of the original ill-fated album are one of the most rare and sought after Northwest record collectables.
