[edit] Brian Eno claim

The record store became a record label slowly at first, initially releasing limited edition records such as Brian Eno's "Wimoweh/Deadly Seven Finns" seven inch.

This claim requires a citation. Limited edition (or bootleg) or not I can find no evidence that "The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh)" and "Seven Deadly Finns" were ever released together on a seven inch single let alone released by what would later become Wax Trax. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh)" was released by Island on a seven inch in 1975 with "I'll Come Running (To Tie Your Shoes)" as the B-side. Also, "seven Deadly Finns" was released by Island as a 7 inch in 1974 with the track "Later On" (excerpts from the Robert Fripp collaboration No Pussyfooting) as the B-side. Please delete or provide a citation for the claim that (what would become) Wax Trax released a (what I am guessing was a bootleg) single of "the Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh)" and "Seven Deadly Finns".

[edit] Response to "Brian Eno claim"

The primary source for this information comes from this article: http://www.geocities.com/antlion7/waxtrax.htm

Also, I own the Brian Eno seven inch in question. It was purchased second hand from a gentleman who bought it at the Wax Trax! store at 2449 Lincoln Avenue in Chicago circa 1979. It is described on the sleeve as published by "Was Trash!" and carries the matrix number "WT 101" on the record itself.
