Issued numerous singles under the [l34302], [b]Classic*[/b] and [b]The Beat Goes On*[/b] labels from the mid-Seventies to at least 1995. [b][i]*Do not confuse these other Stardust/Underground imprints with the reissue labels[/b] [l22206] [b]and[/b] [l34599] [b]respectively.[/i][/b] Despite the various names used by this company, the catalog numbers usually had the [b]URC-xxxx[/b] catalog number on the label. Distributed [a=Elvis Presley] reissue 45s under the Underground brand under license from RCA Records in the early 1980s when that label deleted those singles from its catalog; these reissues were pressed by [l33414]' Canadian branch.
