I apologize for the slowness of fleshing out this page. I will show that Chris Trent is a significant personality well known for his contribution to the early Los Angeles punk rock scene having played with and recorded important taste makers and shot callers in 1977, 78 and 79. I plan to create back links in context to the pages on Wikipedia that document the early DIY, punk rock, and certain LA punk rock bands of the period and the interconnectedness. Chris Trent's record label was the first to record Jeff Isabel aka Izzy Stradlin from Guns N Roses.
Test Tube was one of the only indy labels operating in 1978 and working with the then very small punk rock underground. I plan to scan the original artwork and give details of the releases including dates and interesting anecdotes. In the larger discussion of DIY record labels and their resulting influence on the music business Test Tube was very much in the first wave. I hope you reconsider deletion while I sort out the article and place the details. It should only take a couple of days while I do the scans, etc. Bigforkroad (talk) 15:42, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
