Wow The Allstate Record Distributing Company in Chicago.

When people often talk about wishing they had some sort of time machine which could transport them backwards through time here's a place I'd have loved to have spent a couple o' weeks wandering about in.

Somewhere in this big wide world of ours somebody will have a drawer full of crumpled black n white photographs of this place (inside and out) but I ain't seen them yet. Even checked out those 'Memories From Old Chicago" forum type threads.....

I've a few with personal names and address stickers on, having time on my hands now I'm retired I've looked them up on google maps

I thought I was the only odd ball that did this - phew thank you.

After writing this a few days ago I must've started thinking about which people might have actually taken photographs of places like this way back in the early seventies.

And the name I kept coming back to was John Anderson.

As far as I know he was one of the first from the UK to start hoovering up old unwanted vinyl from across the states on an industrial level.

For him it was business and I guess he was far too busy to even think about taking photographs.

But I imagine photgraphs would have been taken by those in the early waves of Brits abroad as it would be like a dream come true for many.

Oh to be surrounded by thousands of 45's in a warehouse in the middle of nowhere.

But until we actually see those photographs I guess we'll never know. They're out there somewhere I know it.

A bit like original amateur video footage from the inside of Wigan Casino......or The Torch or even The Wheel.

The Barbara Acklin one always puzzled me, thought if it had been a sample would have just been a demo copy?

I have just picked this one up from CANADA. It has the same style of sticker with slightly different proportions.

It is a U.S.A press, just wondering if some Brunswick were Promoted that way in certain areas when DEMO copies were not to hand.

Does anyone know what these Chips stickers were all about? I have a lovely white promo of "What's Going On" on e-bay right now with a Chips sticker but a different name on it...........
