Accurate information on this French label is difficult to ascertain. This distinctively packaged limited series of albums was supervised
by Jean Luc Young, one of the co-owners of the BYG/Actuel label, and Claude Delcloo, the French drummer appearing
on many Actuel recordings, including one as a leader. Some reports have Goody as the BYG/Actuel discount label.
It seems that it operated in similar fashion to America Records, i.e. acquiring masters illegally and
pressing inferior copies without payment to the artists. The catalogue numbers are listed as GY 3000_ on the record backs and as GY 300_ on the record spines. It is unclear as to the reason.
