Great choices George! 👌

I’ve always had a thing for record labels. As a kid I loved the maroon and black Pye label and Major Minor. For me one of the best and most iconic is the green and brown Atlantic label. Always wish we had the US Motown label rather than the black Tamla Motown one. Great video! Cheers !

I definitely agree labels are an important part of the pleasure of record collecting. Love the Fontana logo and that American Decca label is very nice too.

I love the simple label designs just as much as the fancy colorful ones. The yellow epic label is just iconic and instantly recognizable, I always loved it for some reason. Same with the blue verve label and the gold elektra label. UNI is definitely one of my favorite designs as well. Westbound is a great label design as well. I could go on and on about this list. Maybe I'll make my own video haha, our lists would be quite different because of where we are from!

Would very much like to see your take on this. The simple designs can be great. Verve is a good choice, both in Blue for USA and black here in the UK.

@@georgeprior-vinylshowtell4934 The Verve label in the USA was actually in both colors. The black label was for jazz music, while the blue label was for rock and pop music.

It has to be the elephant in the room.. VERTIGO.... for me. So iconic.. I also love some of the krout rock labels , Brain 🧠 is a great label. Great video man 👍✌️

Nice showing of labels, George. I also like the Island Records labels, particularly the 'bulls eye'. I have Tull's Stand Up on the Island pink-black-block i label that you showed on the Scrapbook album. Of course, the reggae 7" on the numerous Jamaican labels are something else!

Good idea for a video- I’m a big Morrissey fan and he has resurrected loads of vintage label designs throughout his solo years

Yes, I've seen the Dandelion label used on one of his.

US Decca was always my favorite!! Fun fact (or maybe not): Back in the early 70s, when people were still stacking LPs on the console stereos (or radiograms), it seemed to be a fad that the album at the top of the stack was a Decca. Interesting video, mate!

Love that co-presenter! Some very decorative labels on display here. I believe Kapp were distributed by Decca here in the UK. I think I have a Burt Bachrach LP on the label. I don't know f jazz is your thing but Impulse originals are quite astonishing.

Great video George. As a committed CD person one thing I miss are those visually appealing record label designs (although sometimes get them in miniature). You well deserve 1K subscribers!
@georgeprior-vinylshowtell49343 ай бұрын
Thank you 🙂. Plenty of CDs seem to be going down the vinyl repro route I see. Nearly at the 1k mark, slowly getting there.

Chrysalis has always been mine for sentimental reasons ( especially on a clear vinyl record), but there are some fantastic labels out there, from the classic swan song logo to bloc party 7”s. Special mention to the early Iron Maiden labels.

There are lots of label designs I love, but the two ones that always come first to mind are the Polydor label and the black Mercury label with the big white oval on top. I have on Imgur a collage of my favorite record labels that I'd love to share here, but KZbin doesn't seem to like hyperlinks in comments.

Mercury is a good one, agreed. Nice layout and logo.

Love the Fly and Pegasus labels. In addition my favs include Neon and Bacillus for obvious reasons as they had some fantastic releases. Be good -
@georgeprior-vinylshowtell49343 ай бұрын
Thanks Jack. Neon is a great label both music and the look and was considered for the list, but could not have them all! I have a couple on Bacillus only, great label design.

Hello George - I’m the guy who continues to suggest you take a moment to listen to Pandora “space Amazon” recorded ‘74 / released ‘97. Also worth a spin, the group Silver “children of the lord “ Just fantastic rock I’m more of a proggy psych person, but these two bands deserve mention. Very good examples of obscure 70’s guitar oriented rock. Take care -

I think this one did the rounds a few years ago, but who cares!..always good to see cool revord labels..nice to see Pegasus, i'm lucky to have a few of those including Shirley Collins No Roses. I have a few on Fly too, including some of those Toofas. I may jump on this one. Nice job George.

Thanks Rob, I'm missing the Shirley Collins album, have the two on Harvest though. A few decent things on Fly worth checking out.

There's a French version of that MCA label that has more colors. It's one of my faves. 🫡

Hi Will, yes I think that design was used in Germany and a few other countries as well. A lovely variant.

labels are integral to record collecting .a few of mine. UNI in Canada ( Elton john, most notably ). warner bros, Burbank label. transatlantic, uk folk label. Capitol, "rainbow ' label i always liked the Island, " desert island label. the pink " I " on the help label looked a little subliminal to me... cheers.

@nicksvinylbutty54883 ай бұрын
As Rob Ison said,I'm sure this has been done before but who cares !!! Labels are often overlooked i think,in favour of the sleeve designs etc... Im sure i have a T-Rex 7" single on that fly label ??? I reckon i can rustle something up and contribute 🤔🤔🤔

I did think of putting them on the list, but thought it might be a bit of an obvious or too familiar choice if honest!!
