Sebastian Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Hi there can anyone pls tell me what labels were distributed through circa? thx in advance Lots and lots. I don't know for certain, but most likely hundreds. Some labels: Kimley, Crest, Tempe, Cal-Gold, Baronet, Invicta, Gambit, Encore, Gold-Arrow, Indigo, Hank, Petal, Amazon, Milestone etc. RobbK on here will probably know a lot more about this.
Robbk Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Yes, there were hundreds. Many of them were also distributed by ARDCO (Allied Record Distributing Co.). Both were operated out of L.A. I'm not with my records now to list many of them. I think both of those distributors of small, independent labels were connected by ownership, or, at least in some way.
Guest Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Wow, very interesting. I would like to put the company sleeves to the records and realized that lots have distributors i dont know about. IS there a guide for this anywhere or a good website?
Benji Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Rob, were these labels distributed by Circa from Day 1 or were they picked up for distribution later on?
Robbk Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Some were picked up from their start of operation, but most were distributed only for a portion of their existences (as you can tell from the differences in their label designs when distributed by CIRCA and when not (not just having the insignia added, but different colours and/or font and label design, such as with Baronet, Theoda, etc.
