The disc draws on the vaults of A-Square Records, founded by Hugh 'Jeep' Holland, a University of Michigan student who was captivated by the mid-'60s rock music explosion. While running Discount Records on State Street, he threw himself into the local scene as an agent, manager, producer and supporter of area bands and musicians, including Discount stock boy Jim Osterberg, who later became Iggy Pop.
