Pretty Record Labels

[aussievintage]

Have we had a thread about this before?  I didn't see anything in a quick search.

 

Anyway, if not,  I'll try to start one.  Here's my first nomination.

 

HMV - an early design, started back in the era and carried forward into early mono LPs and see in many variations.  Here's one of the nicest I have, from an old mono LP.

and another, this time from their early stereo era

The Transatlantic label is probably my favourite.

         I was always mesmerized by the original Vertigo swirl although I do love the Vertigo spaceship they replaced it with.    

[Rocketfrogs]

Led Zeppelins Swansong label was pretty cool too

That is nice.  I don't have one of these.

The Bronze label which had acts such as Uriah Heep and Motorhead also had a cool label. You could follow the evolution of mankind with one revolution.

Both excellent and worthy contributions     I like them both as well.

Yeah I agree - cool label

The original Virgin label was another trippy one...

The coloured one is even better I think.  I have both versions of Tubular Bells.

Always one of my favourites with Casablanca and Warner Brothers (memories)

The Beatles Record label with the green Apple Logo always struck me as bold, curious and innovative...but then I do find that green and black do go well together.

Just like the early Sansui black faced Amps with the green font writing on their faceplates.

Of course.  Glad someone posted it here.  Common but very nice.  Impressed me when it first came out - especially the idea to have the cut-half of the apple on the B side.

Yes, bit of a weird one that...as Side 1...as posted above had the full apple...rather than a cut half to match the B side...

[aussievintage]

They buggered it up on some of the reissue/remasters.  This version is ugly

Feck NO! You need to check out Specsavers...that's just washed out mauve and yellow!

All the Deccas are great records, just a bit plain in the label  

[aussievintage]

I am surprised no-one has yet posted RCA shaded dogs.

 

 Here's a couple of mine
