Flashback Records
Bell 1973
After 1971s Barrel Full Of Monkees sold poorly, the Colgems label closed
and was folded into Bell Records.
Flashback Records was started in 1964, a subsidiary of Bell Records.
The label was used for reissues of material from Bell, Mala and Amy.
These were primarily issued for jukeboxes
to help promote the 1972 Bell "Refocus" LP.
These pairings were later released in 1991
as cassette singles in the Arista Flashback Series.
