Trade Mark of Quality discography
Trade Mark Of Quality (abbreviated TMOQ or TMQ) was a bootleg record label based in Los Angeles, California,and was established in 1970 by "Dub" Taylor and Ken Douglas. In the summer of 1969 they released Bob Dylan "GWW" "Great White Wonder" with a white fold out cover and white labels. Another 9 titles followed before they in 1970 created the "farm pig" logo and the TMQ label was a fact and they began fastening round fluorescent stickers on the outside of their rubber stamped jackets which read 'Trade Mark Of Quality,' and bore the  profile of a farm pig. The Frank Zappa - 200 Motels release was the first to bear such a sticker. Over time, custom pig labels were added along with xerox insert covers. In late 1971 the two split up the partnership and started a "friendly competition". In the beginning, Ken's releases were ( nearly ) exact copies of Dub's. They were made with the same stamping plates, similar labels, stickers and inserts. During 1973, Dub went to deluxe covers to differentiate between his and Ken's records. Ken, at the time, had no way to duplicate the deluxe covers. Also during  1973, Ken began using the smoking pig logo on his labels instead of the farm pig. Dub went until 1974 and briefly returned in 1976 and 1977 with a small series of deluxe covered titles before dropping out entirely. Ken continued with his "Smoking pig" label until 1976.
