One Good Turn Deserves Another
1997 studio album by Slaves on Dope
One Good Turn Deserves Another is the debut album by the Canadian band Slaves on Dope. It was released only in Canada during 1997, through Just a Minute Records.
Background and music
Slaves on Dope had previously released an independent demo in 1994 titled Sober which managed to sell 5,000 copies. The band then went on to tour Canada five times after its release, and created enough of a buzz to eventually start playing shows in the United States. On the back of this, they signed in 1997 to Just a Minute Records, a subsidiary of Montreal jazz label Justin Time Records. The two labels were founded by Jim West, and in 1997 Just a Minute was described as being dedicated to "hip, new alternative-flavored rock". Slaves on Dope were the first band signed to the label, and One Good Turn Deserves Another was its first official release. It was produced by Glen Robinson, known for his work with popular Canadian band The Tea Party. According to a June 9, 1997 article by The Montreal Gazette, the album was going to be launched on June 17, 1997. However, in subsequent years others have listed it as being released a month earlier.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “One Good Turn Deserves Another” as 1997 studio album by Slaves on Dope. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 1997 studio album by Slaves on Dope. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q124823347. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1997 and 1994.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
