Quote:</font1<h,121<b,121I believe Alston used that red label for everything from late '71 through '75, when they stopped being distributed by Atlantic. <b,121<b,121<h,121[/quote]<font class="post"1<b,121<b, 21Actually, the red-labeled Alstons are indeed distributed by Atlantic, and the thickness/process cannot be post-75. The mystery continues. Perhaps they were immediate second-pressings or West-coast issues for Atlantic-distributed hits.<b,121<b, 21The font on the local Alston labels is pretty easy to spot. That, plus Miss Hot Stuff/Mr. Hot Stuff never had Atlantic distribution (damn it).
