Henry Stone’s Tone Distributors w/ Command Records and Probe Records – Cash Box (1969)

Being a large scale record distributor in the 1960’s meant eating a lot of free steak and lobsters, and listening to independent labels present their catalogs and upcoming releases. Let’s just say, Henry Stone ate a lot of free steak dinners. And drank a lot of free drinks too. Here’s an example from a 1969 issue of Cash Box Magazine featuring Stone and his right hand man at Tone Distributors at the time, Dave Benjamin.
