No one had ever been crazy enough to do such an audacious thing before. The god's official record label was not amused but the music fans were thrilled. Were these guys pirates or heroes? It was so much fun the first time, they soon pressed up even more records of forbidden musical fruit. They were on a roll. The following year, in 1970, one of the culprits put The Pig image in a circular logo with the name, "Trade Mark of Quality." TMQ and Pigman were born!With a cast of outrageous characters, here is the story of Trade Mark of Quality aka TMQ aka The Pig, the first bootleg record label of it's kind, spawning many later imitators.

Download or read book Pig Tales written by Robert Phillips and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who lines up to have people try to shoot them, knife them, blow them up, and threaten them with bodily harm? Everyone who is part of the law enforcement family—that’s who. That includes Robert Phillips, who got his start as a sheriff’s officer in April 1998. When he reported for duty on his first day, the senior day-shift sergeant asked him if he was in the National Guard or the Reserves, and when he said no, he was told he’d be good man for the day shift. He wasn’t long on the job before an inmate—while trying to escape—put a knife to his throat. Another inmate distracted the potential escapee and Phillips was able to call for help. Craving more excitement, Phillips eventually became a “real” police officer. He wanted to take part in car chases, get shot at, go to robbery-in-progress calls, and make drug arrests. Get an insider’s view of what it’s like to belong to the law enforcement family with this no-holds-barred collection of Pig Tales.
