The earliest titles recorded under the Have a Sandwich Label date back to East Lansing, MI. 1985. During the formative years, from 1985 to 1991, most of the recordings were done either on a boombox or a 4-track. Many of the recordings from this era will eventually be available on this site. The name ‘Have a Sandwich’ was not chosen until 1991 when the studio re-located to Chicago, and the days were spent making sandwiches at Deli 38 and the nights were spent making music. It was also right around this time that two notable events took place: The studio upgraded to ½ inch reel-to-reel and Pete Downes and Jeff Szeremet were reunited for the first time since their days with the band Mebal Chimney back in their hometown of East Lansing in 1985 and 1986. The two worked furiously from 1991 all the way until Jeff’s passing at the end of 1999; producing hundreds of songs as well as the 15-song opus “The Niely Boys”. Another notable release from this era would be Food Chain’s “Danke Schon Don Quixote” which went out on the Chicago compilation CD “Wrong Side of the Tracks”. In 1993, Have a Sandwich re-located to a 6000 sq. ft. loft space on the Chicago River in the legendary “Spice Factory” on Chicago’s near south side.
