GUYANA INTERNATIONAL
An offshoot of Terry Nelson's Halagala
Records (q.v.). Guyana International seems to have issued at just two singles, one in 1969 and one
in 1970. First out of the blocks was The Pep 77 Band's 'Sex
Shall Survive' b/w 'Pushinga' (GUY-001; 1969); 1970's offering was 'Lonesome Love' by Patricia
Gouviea & The Pep 77 Band b/w 'Sunshine Pegasus' by the Count
Hala Scene, which appears to be the second and last despite its
catalogue number of GUY-008. Both are rare and are quite sought-after. Halagala had another offshoot label,
'Rude Boy' (q. v.). Thanks to Sam Mauger for bringing the label to my
attention.
