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.
