Today marks the 36th anniversary of the first two album releases by Rounder Records. Rounder 0001 – George Pegram and Rounder 0002 – The Spark Gap Wonder Boys were both released on October 20th, 1970.

In the following 36 years Rounder has released over 3,500 records and is still owned by the original three founders.

Congrats guys!
