I asked Karen about this album, and she replied:
"Maxine and I tried to start a label. We called it Rebecca Records. It was a poor attempt
as we didn't know what we were doing. It never got released and we only sold a few.
Someone (cannot remember who) asked to have the remaining stock. Mimi Jones
was a 3 sister group, some were lesbian, some were not. All the rest were lesbian."

What the photo below, scanned from a newspaper,
lacks in image quality, it more than makes up for in history...

I would have love to have been at the above show, to see Maxine (upper left),
Harrison & Tyler (next to her), Charles Pierce (left column center) & the others.

And, some more great early pics of Maxine Feldman...

below, recent photo stills (probably from 2001 or 2002) of Maxine, from the wonderful
movie "Radical Harmonies." This is a MUST SEE movie, click here for more info on it.

Maxine died in August 2007.

In 2004 at the Outmusic Awards Maxine was given a special recognition award. Unfortunately she was not able to be present to accept it, and alas, never did receive it. I obtained several boxes of Outmusic memorabilia about ten years later and found the award. It had never been forwarded to her. I tracked down her surviving partner and made sure she received it.
