[edit] Paved the way

Paved the way for X-Ray Spex? Funny ha-ha. I'm editing out this dubious statement.

[edit] Joan Jett's label was not the first woman self start

I'm adding this as reference to why I edited the Post Runaway section about Joan Jett.

This was taken from Wikipedia's section on Scepter Records.

Scepter Records is a record company founded in 1959 by Florence Greenberg. She had just sold Tiara Records with The Shirelles for $4000 to Decca Records. When The Shirelles didn't produce any hits for Decca, they were given back to Greenberg, who promptly signed them. By 1961 Greenberg launched a subsidiary Wand Records. In 1976 Florence Greenberg decided to retire from the business and sold her record labels to Springboard International. When Springboard went bankrupt, Gusto Records acquired the catalog.

I'm not insinuating that Florence was the first either, but Joan Jett was certainly not the first woman to start a label.
