Teen Expo: The Cleopatra Label

a0592258325_10.jpg

With his label, Cleopatra Records, Tommy Falcone captured a medley of 1960s musical styles from outsider bands and artists that found a home for their overlooked and underappreciated sounds in the label's New Jersey recording studio and production facility. Compiled and reissued by the greats at Numero Group, the twenty-something singles of beachy garage, funky doo-wop, and sun-bleached pop depict the ambitious label's wide ranging repertoire and sponsorship of youthfully unique artists.
