THE COUNT - I'M A STAR (1978)

In 1969 at the age of 15 a young collector of 8mm science fiction/fantasy films, Joe Viglione, published Varulven Magazine in Arlington, Massachusetts. Later the magazine turned into a record label, Boston's original rock label, Varulven. Along with releases by Viglione's own band, The Count, the imprint issued comedian Paul Lovell a.k.a. Blowfish, music by Willie "Loco" Alexander, Thundertrain, Third Rail, Mr. Curt, Unnatural Axe, Fox Pass and other New England region pioneers. In 1978 Patrick Mathe who was running Music Box (then the best record shop in Paris) issued their first contract to the twenty-four year old Joe Viglione on Flamingo Records. Flamingo was a subsidiary of the dance label, Carrere Records, Mathe releasing a 12" record by another group after having signed Viglione with the debut lp from The Count the label's first album release. In 1980 Viglione became the A & R rep for Patrick Mathe's new European label signing Willie Alexander to New Rose / RCA after the split up of MCA recording act The Boom Boom Band. Joe Viglione would release subsequent albums on New Rose until its demise at the end of the century. Joe Viglione released his latest album in 2005.
Note: the track sequence on the inner sleeve was different from the one on the wax.
