In 1962 & 1963 Singabout reviewed 2 records available from PO Box 58, Paddington, the earliest issued by ALP records, the second by Blue & White Collar Records. I've been unable to find any information about these labels.
Comment from Warren Fahey, April 2020 - the discs credit Peter Hamilton, owner of Wattle records.

ALP Records - Tom Morey Campaign Songs (ALP-1) In 1962 Tom Morey, the ALP candidate for the new State seat of Bligh produced this record as part of his campaign. As the seat was not expected to go to Labor, the record might have contributed to his win!
The record included 5 songs
side 1 -
The Ballad of Tom Morey (parody of Tom Dooley)
Quick Go the Shares
Talking Bligh Blues
Side 2 -
The D.L.P Lament (parody of the 12 days of Christmas)
Hooker Rex
The Bush Music Club reviewed it in the April 1962 issue of the Newsletter, and also Singabout 4(4) 1962.
The lyrics & music of Hooker Rex was also published in Singabout 5(1) 1963.
