South African band
editThere was also a South African band during the 1960's named The Staccatos. They should also be listed and somehow differentiated from the Canadian band of the same name. Frankwm1 (talk) 18:57, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Hull, Ontario???
edit'Brian Rading, bassist and founding member, died on June 8, 2016 of natural causes at his home in Hull, Ontario,' Hull is not in Ontario, but in the Province of Quebec. Grandma Roses (talk) 00:24, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
Lionel Records
editI bought "Signs" when it was still on the charts. The single was clearly from Lionel Records. The label put out its first single in 1970; "the final single for the label was "Friends & Family"/"Julianna" by the Five Man Electrical Band [Lionel 3224] in 1972." In its brief life, the label released only two LPs: Goodbyes and Butterflies and Coming of Age. FFI: http://www.bsnpubs.com/mgm/lionel.html

Lionel Records was a subsidiary of the Lionel Corporation, later a.k.a. Lionel, LLC, the company best known for model trains. The parent company sold train rights to conglomerate General Mills (based in Minneapolis) in 1969; Lionel Corp became a holding company at that point, and apparently went into recorded music as an attempt at portfolio diversification.
Distribution of Lionel Records was through MGM Records, who also handled (owned?) the Leo (children's records), Lion (budget albums) and Pride labels. Lionel Records is indicated as the label in the Coming of Age, Good-byes and Butterflies, and "Signs" articles.
