- Off Centaur Publications

Off Centaur Publications was the first "commercial" filk label. It was founded in 1980 by Teri Lee, Jordin Kare, and Catherine Cook. For a short time, Off Centaur produced high quality recordings of some of filk's best performers, and changed the course of filk music.[1]
Like many other filk labels the name was a pun (see also Wail Songs).[citation needed]
Releases from this label are very difficult to find. At an Interfilk auction at FilKONtario, a copy of Horse-Tamer's Daughter was sold for CA$400.00.[citation needed]
Off Centaur Publications was inducted into the Filk Hall of Fame in 1995.[1]
