Some of you new recruits may not be aware that the Norton Record label was born from the mighty loins of KICKS Magazine. KICKS is the official NORTON house organ/bible! Billy Miller and Miriam Linna published the first issue of KICKS in 1979. Previously, Miriam had published six issues of FLAMIN' GROOVIES MONTHLY (having been handed the reigns to the Groovies Fan Club by founder Greg Shaw) and Billy had been hankering to spread the news about great records and unknown recording stars. That first issue ended up spawning the Norton record label and a host of related mags and books!
