Allied Records Pressing Plant
Hollywood, CA


Type 3 Label on polystyrene

When needed, RCA subcontracted with Allied for additional pressings.
But by 1968 the demand for their records was much lower,
so it is unknown why they used Allied in this case.

Allied used the same metal stampers & labels as the local RCA plant
but these seem to have more of a matte finish
compared to the usual glossy Colgems labels.
