GIORGIO GOMELSKY

'Giorgio Gomelsky' is an influential music manager and record producer. His owned the famous ''Crawdaddy Club'' where The Rolling Stones were hired as house band, and he was involved with their early management. He hired The Yardbirds as a replacement and managed them. He was also their producer from the beginning through 1966. He apparently currently owns all of The Yardbirds tapes, although legend has it that the actual multi-track tapes are in the pocession of Gomelsky's divorced wife. In 1967, the started Marmalade Records (distributed by Polydor), which featured Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity, The Blossom Toes, and early recordings by Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, who later became 3/4's of 10cc. The label shut down abruptly in 1969 under confusing circumstances (some say Gomelsky simply shut the doors and disappeared without notifying Polydor or any of his artists).
