Chuck is a talented musician and songwriter who co-penned 'Stand

(in 2007) that he wrote the tune with Floyd Cramer in mind.

NOTE : From 1960
on, most Crest singles display a small badge reading 'A CIRCA release' or 'An
ARDCO release'. ARDCO stood for 'Allied Record Distribution Company' ; it was
located at 1041 No. Las Palmas Avenue in Hollywood. CIRCA surely stood for something
alike.
In his liner notes to the RockStar CD, Rob Finnis explains that Crest had in
fact 'assigned the manufacture and production of its product to the Allied pressing
plant'. These same badges (a circle with a sort of ribbon underneath) can be
found on a variety of labels such as Pike, Heb and Jan-Ell.
