Based on the bootleg titles on his left & right that seems to have been that year. Joey is a good boy, ignoring all that illegal contraband amd devoting his attention to a Placido Domingo record.
I believe this is now the most complete list you will find on the net. It can be found at the end of this older post:
I.M.P. 1001/2/3: THE ROLLING STONES ‘1975 Tour of the Americas part one’ aka “Who went to church this Sunday” + “part two” + “1975 NERVOUS BREAKDOWN / L.A. FRIDAY” / Mike Millard
It has occurred to me that I had never posted this in its entirety and since this very useful article was already axed from the named site years ago – I retrieved this for myself using the way back machine, there was also an article on TMOQ2, i.e. Ken’s releases but I was not able to get to that. The dates mentioned here have so far held up. Someone needs to research and write the ultimate TMOQ book and provide us with more details.
So, here is the complete article, with some corrections/annotations by me and an added listing.
The Trademark of Quality label was the most well known bootleg vinyl label to emerge from the Sixties Underground. Many of their releases remain cornerstones in serious rock collections. The label was responsible for the first rock bootleg, Bob Dylan’s Great White Wonder 2-LP set, so named because of its plain white gatefold cover. During its five year history, the label released around 100 titles.
It all began when two Dylan fans, who worked for a Los Angeles record distributor, modestly wanted to commit some rare tapes of Dylan in their possession to vinyl. The limited first run of 400 albums caused a huge stir in the Los Angeles area in the summer of 1969. A 2nd pressing of 1,000 copies was quickly released. When the album took off, the two main stays, Dub Michael Taylor and his friend Ken Douglas, realized there was money to be made and music to be liberated. The two worked with a variety of partners on many of their early records. They released about ten titles during their first year and a half of operation. None of these titles bore the name of Trademark of Quality. But as of 1970, nearly all of their releases came out on colored vinyl.
By early 1971, the two had created the label and began fastening round fluorescent stickers on the outside of their rubber stamped jackets which read ‘Trade Mark of Quality,’ and bore the profile of a farm pig. The Frank Zappa – 200 Motels release was the first to bear such a sticker. Over time, custom pig labels were added along with Xerox insert covers.
At some point, maybe as early as mid – 1971, Dub and Ken had a falling out. From that point on, both of them released Trademark of Quality releases. In the beginning, Ken’s were near exact copies of Dub’s. They were made with the same stamping plates, similar labels, stickers and inserts.
During 1973, Dub went to deluxe covers to differentiate between his and Ken’s records. Ken, at the time, had no way to duplicate the deluxe covers. Also during 1973, Ken began using the smoking pig logo on his labels instead of the farm pig. Many consider the appearance of this Pig Daddy label as the actual time of the split between Ken and Dub, but it happened well before that. The smokin’ pig (or Pig Daddy) logo was copied by Ken from William Stout’s art work for Dub’s Rolling Stones release, “Winter Tour ’73 – All Meat Music.”
For our purposes here, we will deal only with the releases in which Dub Taylor had a hand. Dub soldiered on until late 1974, when he tired of the scene and had a few close calls with the law. He briefly returned in 1976 and 1977 with a small series of deluxe covered titles before dropping out entirely.
Ken continued on with many different partners and labels through the Seventies. For information on what is commonly called Trademark of Quality – 2, i.e. Ken’s output, see listing under that title.
72001 – Bob Dylan – Great White Wonder – July 1969 – original has no matrix – (re-issues 22 64 2/3/4/5) Initial run of 400 on Rocolian label which lists artist as Dupree and the Miracle Sound. Some of these were rubber stamped, some not. The rubber stamping began quickly in August 1969. Some of the blank covered initial Rocolian run were subsequently stamped after having been wholesaled to a few Los Angeles stores (Vogue Records & The Free Press Book Store). Subsequent pressings had blank white labels. As with all early TMOQ (Trademark Of Quality) releases, labels with the large numbers ‘1’ and ‘2’ or with the farm pig logo, are later issues. Widely considered the first rock bootleg. However, a few months earlier, the Black Panther Party released a pretty bad Hendrix LP titled This Flyer. note: matrix GF 1/2/3/4 is not a TMOQ issue, but an August 1969 knock off done by Los Angeles record shop owners Norty Beckman and Ben Goldman. The GF prefix is a result of the partners using the alias of Gerald Feldman at the pressing plant. Most of the GF matrix knock off’s were not rubber stamped, but they are not a TMOQ product, rather a bootleg of a bootleg, the first of its kind with many more to follow.

The plain white labels are not test pressings, for some reason the TMOQ guys used white labels for a short time. You will find quite a few variations of for example London Roundhouse, Infinity Blues, Smashing Amps, Live at the LA Music Center with these plain labels. They were used about the same time as the Made In Holland labels. I would conclude that they were used in the 2nd half of 1971. They could be the result of using a different pressing plant.

++ – All generic William Stout cartoon die – cut cover re-issues were done in 1973 with custom big pig labels (Big pig on one side and track listings on the other). If anyone knows a more specific release date for these titles, I would be interested to know. I assume this happened past mid-year when the competition between the two original TMOQ guys was pretty fierce.

My life has changed so much in the last two years that I simply don’t have time for the blog anymore and there are more changes coming. Also, truth be told I’ve lost some of the enthusiasm & motivation that have pushed me to keep looking for better images and spend yet another hour doing research. While I wanted to continue with WCF 2001/2 – 2058, which is not the most exciting bootleg label in the first place, I can see from the blog stats that hardly anyone’s interested in Grateful Dead boots in 2018 (and WCF happens to be the Dead bootleg label: Another 5 Dead titles would have been in that next batch), I can clearly feel I just don’t have it in me. So, this is the honest moment where I say it’s curtain time.
A deep heartfelt thanks to those who have supported the blog and all who enjoyed reading the posts.
I considered asking if anyone wanted to continue it but they are probably better served starting from scratch and 100% according to their own vision.
In the words of John Lennon: I hope I passed the audition.
Matrix: GD-2222 A / GD-2222 B
Known as Turn On Your Lovelight as that’s the first and only song on side one of the track list. WCF were not inclined to come up with album titles around this time (1972?).
Source: I found this comment on audiokarma: “Grateful Dead,” #GD-2222. No notation of date or venue, but I seem to have written my own note next to the side one track listing for Love Light (the entire side) that it was recorded in Boston on 12-2-71. “
***
Matrix: GD-2233 A / GD-2233 B
A1 “Recorded June; 1969 Central Park” (10:32) – 1969/06/22 performance in Central Park and song on set list confirmed, audience recording.
A2 “Recorded Nov; 1970 Action House L.I.” (08:08) – Two shows attributed to this venue on Nov. 9+10 ’70; “Saint Stephen” not on those set lists though.
B1 “Recorded May; 1970 Bill Graham’s Fillmore East” (02:50) – The Dead were regular visitors to the Fillmore East throughout 1970.
B2 “Recorded Nov; 1970 Action House L.I.” (15:02) – see comment above.
Released around 1974 with a white label, here in a recycled folder cover originally printed for WCF’s copy of the Loggins And Messina release and in its correct cover:

Matrix: GD-2244 A / GD-2244 B
I have found no further recording details regarding this release. If you know morw, please leave a comment.
From a word association interview given to him by a fan, ca. 1976:
Speaking of Kustom Records (as mentioned in my previous post) … a holiday present to us all (thank you, Karl!).
I guess the transmission date is 8th of April’71, after all.
The concert Peter Grant’s talking about was Led Zeppelin’s appearance at Munich’s Circus Krone on 08 March 1970 (no recording has ever appeared of this concert).
It feels like we are watching the moment Pink Floyd’s hatred for bootlegs started.It’s quite remarkable that what is likely their first encounter with one of their bootlegs was the incredibly rare Pinky, pressed in a first pressing run of just 50 copies (matrix: DJ3003),
a UK copy of this Dutch release:
Matrix: XA44332/YB44332 – first edition with the misspelling “LIFE” on both sides. Second & third corrections had “LIVE/LIFE” and finally “LIVE/LIVE” on front and back.
“Atom Heart Mother” on side 1 and “Embryo” and “Interstellar Overdrive” on side 2, recorded at the Audimax in Hamburg 1970-03-12

Re. Kustom Records: This is the US cover for the Beatles pirate JUDY
It’s preposterous to claim these tracks were copied directly from the original masters from the Abbey Road vault, as the BBC reporter sets up the story and Mr. Collins willingly indulges him (although the claim may of course originated with him).
I still believe that Kustom was mostly a US label and they were only to happy to sell Collins a few hundred records and he had his own b&w knock off covers printed based on the original designs.
USA: 1971/2
Pressed in larger quantities than the preceding three titles in WCF’s 700 series.
Source: WPLJ-FM radio broadcast from the A&R Studios in New York, 12 April 1971 during their North American tour. The date confirms my placing of the 700 series in the months between mid-1971 to early 1972.
Unfortunately, this pressing did not come out well, only earning a “Gm” rating in HOTWACKS “with the exception of ‘Fare Thee Well’, which is very poor.”. HOTWACKS continues that this is also available on CBM 718 “from original plates”. I have never seen the CBM copy and without having compared the matrices, I would not make this claim and suggestion that there was a relationship between the two labels (other than CBM copying several of WCF’s titles, as we have seen so far). Previously, we saw another case of identical matrix numbers for their respective copies of Led Zeppelin’s Blueberry Hill.
The correct track list is:
1 Memorial Drive
2 Still There’ll be more
3 Nothing that I didn’t know
4 Simple Sister
5 Luskus Delph
6 Shine On Brightly
7 Whaling Stories
8 Broken Barricades
9 Juicy John Pink
10 A Salty Dog
11 Whisky Train
12 Power Failure
Gary Brooker (voice & piano)
Chris Copping (Hammond organ, bass)
Robin Trower (guitar, bass)
BJ Wilson (drums)

TMOQ later released a significant quality upgrade of the first 10 tracks with the matrix # 1844 A/B. The four digit TMOQ titles are seen as Ken’s part of the output following his ouster from TMOQ by Dub and his father.
