Jim Golden started the USA label as part of Chicago's Allstate Distributors in 1960, which was owned by Paul Glass.
USA Record Co., Inc. had its office at 1448 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60605, which was across the street from Chess Records and Glass's Allstate Distributors, Chess' regional distributor.
While USA had a few regional hits, their biggest hit came in 1967 with the chart-topping "Kind of a Drag" by The Buckinghams.
USA Records worldwide rights were acquired by 43 North Broadway, LLC in 2015.
