Lots of serious music fans have gotten the bright idea of starting a record company so they can
spread the word about their favorite bands, but unlike most of them, Mark Prellberg and Tom
Sorrells actually put their money where their mouths were, and in 1978 they launched Titan
Records in their hometown of Kansas City, MO. From a business standpoint, Titan Records proved
to be a noble folly; Prellberg and Sorrells knew next to nothing about promotion, distribution, or
marketing, and being based in a town that's never been regarded as a major media center did
nothing to help their learning curve. And though power pop is a music that attracts a passionate
and endlessly loyal fan base, it doesn't often move a whole lot of units, and since straightforward,
energetic pop/rock was Titan's stock in trade, Prellberg and Sorrells' lack of know-how became
even more of an issue. But let no one say that the guys behind Titan didn't know a great song when
they heard it; the label's output sounded like chart-topping hits from an alternate universe where
the Raspberries were bigger than the Beatles, Emitt Rhodes ruled the airwaves, and the Scruffs
and Dwight Twilley were the hottest new acts on the scene. Titan released just six singles and a
compilation LP before Prellberg and Sorrells threw in the towel in 1981, but the label's output has
earned mythic status among fans of first generation power pop, and Numero Group has paid loving
homage to the label's brief but fascinating history with Titan: It's All Pop!, a two-disc collection that
features everything the label ever released in its original incarnation along with over 20 bonus
tracks from Titan projects that either went unreleased or surfaced on other labels.

Reigning Sound’s third album “Too Much Guitar,”  was released in May 2004 with recording help from fellow Memphians Jay Reatard and Alicja Trout from the Lost Sounds; with a noticeably louder and noisier sound than previous recordings. Songs laced with psych-pop, garage, soul, country and (of course)
too-much guitar compete with Cartwright’s vocals at times in the loud fuzzy mix. An opening slot on a huge American tour with the Swedish garage band The Hives helped to promote the album shortly after its release. A misprint in the album credits gives the impression that founding member Alex Greene appeared on
only one song. In fact, he played on half the album: "You Got Me Hummin'", "When You Touch Me," "Get It," "Drowning," "Uptight Tonight," "Let Yourself Go," and "Medication."

I Got A Right  Wayne Kramer - Guitar and Vocals, Lead Vocals on tracks 3, 7  /  Deniz Tek - Guitar and Vocals, Lead Vocals on tracks 2, 5, 6  /  Scott Morgan - Vocals, Lead Vocals on tracks 1, 4, 8, 9, 10  /  Paul Ill - Electric and Acoustic Bass  /  Brock Avery - Drums and Percussion Produced by Wayne Kramer  /  Engineered by Mike Wolf and Jon Newkirk  /  Recorded at Music Box Studio, North Hollywood 1996 Wayne Kramer opened on Radio Birdman's Australian reformation tour of January 1996. During the tour he and Deniz had discussed the idea of working together. The following July when both Deniz' and Wayne's schedules lined up, a small studio in North Hollywood was booked. There was no preparation or planning for this record whatsoever. With Wayne's expert rhythm section and gallons of coffee, Dodge Main was cranked out in just 4 days.

Deniz chose the MC5 tracks and Wayne chose the Birdman track. Deniz wrote Fire Comin' in his motel room on the second night, with Paul Ill contributing the middle 8 bars the next day. Wayne had previously written Citizen of Time and the band free jammed behind the simple riff. Better Than That was co-written by Deniz and Wayne while sitting in the studio with unplugged guitars. I-94 featured fresh lyrics, Deniz being tired of the old ones. Wayne added a ska beat with Brock Avery on African finger drums.

The opening track is the Sonic's Rendezvous classic, City Slang, with Scott Morgan from that band on vocals. Scott happened to be in LA and was called over, ending up doing several songs. The City Slang mix is heavy on rhythm guitars. There is a lot of the soloing on this track but it is barely audible, a tribute to the late Fred Smith.
