Isn't that one of the original top 500 and one of the records trying to get away from???? Cheers for the link and update Rob. Oh and I forgot to add on the end of mine...... CHALKY GOOLE

It's a list of Chicago labels Sean, regardless of where the artists came from. The only reason I queried ABC is it is for all intents and purposes a New York label, Head Office and registered address in New York, with as you rightly say an office/branch in Chicago. Probably has an office in other major cities too. Like I said I'll happily stick it in the list if thats the general consensus but I've still got my doubts as to whether or not it justifies an inclusion just because it used it's power to set up an office and take the cream of the crop from the city. Anyone else any thoughts/arguement for or against?

does it matter if they are rare or not as long as they are good and an alternative to the usual? Anywhere I'm over my limit now

Does that make it a Chicago label though Sean just because it had an office there? I would guess all the other majors outside Chicago had an office there? I didn't include ABC as it's address is New York. Personally I'd sooner leave it out otherwise we could have all sorts in there, same with the Detroit listing, New York labels etc who went to Detroit to sign/record an artist there etc???? If the general consensus is include it I will of course Do the Impressions 45's say Chicago or New York on the label?

Dunno, is it Detroit anyone?

Must have missed them when you posted them Richard. Guess that settles the argument then, I'll add Twirl to the list. Not got a Twirl listing to hand, do the numbers follow for the Detroit address and New York Address? Same label or different???? Anyone verify the Magnet label with Mary Wells posted few posts back?

it certainly does, that's why it's in the list further up this page.

Think they are all in the list Pete apart from Twirl as there is some dispute as to whether Detroit or New York. For the main think it was New York? Had no definite answer yet.

Calumet = Gary Indiana, Tec from DC. Removed Galaxy, there is another but that is NY according to R&B Indies.

ABC New York, presume they would have flown the Impressions in?

Jo-Vee-Jo is Pitt St, New York. I agree if a job's worth doing.....I'll change the spelling

no you aren't but I've asked for the full sound-file not a minute or so

Just Dewsbury or can we have the surrounding areas too

Has Zodiac been mentioned yet? That's probably why. It might be on the list upstairs, I know Okeh is and the few mentioned a little earlier. Anyway I'll add it when I go upstairs.
