Then Pressed at different pressing plants. EAST COAST : "Arp" The style of the Label would Suggest an "Arp" Press for your DEMO EAST Coast. The Left and Right Justification on the Credits always a clue thanks to the printer. The Text lined up against a Straight edge. MIDWEST : Many Thanks to Information from RobbK This pressing plant variation looks like the Dart Record Sales Distribution Co.'s pressings and label font. that was Art Sheriden and Ewart Abner's distribution company, that distributed VJ and its family of labels and distributed labels in The Midwest and South. WEST COAST : Monarch Press 2
Sheep Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Think the locals were short sighted on the West Coast, all the writing on their labels were double the size of the east coast !! 1
