The Strange case of the Imaginations - Fraternity Records

Tom Campbell was a radio personality at WONE and became a columnist at the Dayton Daily News. From the mid 60's to early 70's Tom ran 'Campbell's Corner' and 'Off-the-Cuff' news features giving prominence to local bands, and tit-bits on National bands, a 1 concerts, and general music gossip.
