Just wondered what this is / was the address of...

Patrick, Nicky's brother was helping with PR for the band at that time and he was living/working(?) in the US around the time. So I think that was his address then.

See Wikipedia.

Ah ha, thankyou! Sorry, the context was... on the back of the 12" Stay Beautiful single, there are two addresses at the bottom right corner... one is for the band's info, the other says "for literature..." and gives an address in Illinois.

Interesting though - wonder how many people actually wrote to Patrick in the US.

I think literature is an euphemism for a PJ writing about the Manics?

Frightening idea! No, just kidding, his writing definitely beats his directing skills!
