Kokomo Records
discography

Record label founded and run
by Ted Griffiths ( -03/21/1975) and Trevor Huyton
Post-war sister label: Highway 51 Records

This discography is a non-commercial labor-of-love and is in no way associated with any business firm.
All I know about the resp. artist's / label's musical output is shown on this page. To purchase out-of-print records I recommend an ebay, gemm or google search. And - sorry for that - I have not the time to answer any e-mails asking me about further information, let alone duplicating out-of-print recordings I happen to own.
