===Releases=== Connors released music on seven different labels. His earliest foray into recording was on the CKGB Timmins radio station label. These [[Gramophone record|45 RPM]] [[Single (music)|singles]] were pressed by [[Quality Records]] in Toronto, and distributed (and paid for) primarily by Tom. His first two albums (and two subsequent 45 RPM singles) were released on the Rebel Records bluegrass label, under the name "Tom Connors". These two albums were subsequently re-released on Dominion Records under the Stompin' Tom moniker and had to be totally re-recorded due to a dispute with Rebel Records owner John Irvine. Most of Connors's well-known albums were released on Dominion Records (1969β70), and after 1971 on the [[Boot Records]] label that he co-founded with Jury Krytiuk and Mark Altman. His releases on Dominion (and all subsequent releases) were done under the name "Stompin' Tom Connors". Most of the Rebel and Dominion albums would be reissued (and in some cases, re-recorded) under the Boot label, and would represent the bulk of his recorded material. It was released on 33{{Fraction|1|3}} RPM record albums, 45 RPM record singles, [[Stereo 8|8-tracks]], and [[Compact Cassette|cassette tapes]]. After his retreat from the music business in the late 1970s, he started the A-C-T (Assisting Canadian Talent) label in 1986, and released two albums: ''Stompin' Tom is Back to Assist Canadian Talent'' and his comeback album, ''Fiddle and Songs'' in 1988. A-C-T also re-released Connors's back catalogue on cassette tapes only. All of his subsequent releases (and re-releases) have been through [[Capitol Records]] / [[EMI]]. Most of this work is now available on Compact Disc. In recent years, many of his album releases have included at least one re-recording of one of his earlier songs.
