Lots of serious music fans have gotten the bright idea of starting a record company so they can
spread the word about their favorite bands, but unlike most of them, Mark Prellberg and Tom
Sorrells actually put their money where their mouths were, and in 1978 they launched Titan
Records in their hometown of Kansas City, MO. From a business standpoint, Titan Records proved
to be a noble folly; Prellberg and Sorrells knew next to nothing about promotion, distribution, or
marketing, and being based in a town that's never been regarded as a major media center did
nothing to help their learning curve. And though power pop is a music that attracts a passionate
and endlessly loyal fan base, it doesn't often move a whole lot of units, and since straightforward,
energetic pop/rock was Titan's stock in trade, Prellberg and Sorrells' lack of know-how became
even more of an issue. But let no one say that the guys behind Titan didn't know a great song when
they heard it; the label's output sounded like chart-topping hits from an alternate universe where
the Raspberries were bigger than the Beatles, Emitt Rhodes ruled the airwaves, and the Scruffs
and Dwight Twilley were the hottest new acts on the scene. Titan released just six singles and a
compilation LP before Prellberg and Sorrells threw in the towel in 1981, but the label's output has
earned mythic status among fans of first generation power pop, and Numero Group has paid loving
homage to the label's brief but fascinating history with Titan: It's All Pop!, a two-disc collection that
features everything the label ever released in its original incarnation along with over 20 bonus
tracks from Titan projects that either went unreleased or surfaced on other labels.
