Actually there are no Riley associations with the label, JamCan was run by three people, two who worked out of Micron Records in the early 80's (that's the Micron shop street address on label). They released some of their own productions, and some for producer George Phang and one or two for Jammys. Some of Phang's first productions, such as the Echo Minott LP, were on the label. They also released some tunes with some very good Toronto-based artists, Noel Ellis and Chester Miller.

Beg to differ, Dave. How do you explain the Osbourne 7's "Purify Your Heart", "Ready or Not", etc?
