October 31, 200519 yr Sy Hightower on Carmen the more common label is the one with the pink with black buterfly and silver leaves .I had this one first then the rarer plain label one. Its Beautiful.. made me moist..
October 31, 200519 yr Author Tac - Ful is a bit of beauty ITS a Cracker ,just brought it to mind. Pity I don't know how to post up some of those that are some of my Fave's
October 31, 200519 yr Quite like the Action label with those psychodelic swirls, and Mary Jane with the nice red and white checker pattern... and it has a cool name, i wonder where it came from?
November 1, 200519 yr Author Quite like the Penthouse label... Hi Brill label.Lots of innovation in designing Labels .Wonder how and who designed them?One of the lesser talked and known about with regard to our "Hobby".Although I am aware that (probably) most labels were not designed with ,as yet, the yet Un-named Dave Godin coined "northern soul"-we associate labels with what we collect, whereas "label" owners probably just wanted a hit?I suppose the most documented label design is Shrine ie the assassinated presidents epitaph Steve
November 1, 200519 yr Well, we had that topic on another site some years ago and from what I remember (as they are unlikely to have changed..) mine were USA HYPE STAX (the old "record pile" logo) PUSSYCAT ...gotta agree on the "Miss Hemisphere" though

Stevie
November 1, 200519 yr faves of mine are CARNIVAL--love the little clown on his bike with the brolly---and the black and gold ANNA label with the maestro with his stick---
November 1, 200519 yr Quite like the Penthouse label... very nice looking label. one I've not seen before. I'm sure we've all bought records in the past purely because of the label design. Imagine trying to explain that to non-soulies!
November 2, 200519 yr Hi Marc ,not been on the "other site"You must know of NEW labels to tell us about. Stevie Well, how about Kick Off Records then ? It does look quite tasty and reminds me on the design Merging records had, which is quite odd as the only 45 I have on Kick off is by Garland Davis and is a beautiful version of the Carl Underwoiod biggie on Merginhg which I also have. Garland Davis btw I strongly believe is none other than the young Ray Agee. Why ? Because first he has Zeke Strong as his bancking band and this guy is on nearly every single recording done by Ray Agee and second, the flipside offers a beautiful slow deep scorcher which shows that the voice is oh so similar to Ray Agee..so where were we at , right newly beloved label designs...KICK OFF is my contribution then
November 2, 200519 yr My fave label for looks has to be TAY-STER, the look on the guy's face is hilarious Andy
November 2, 200519 yr add another one, RIKA....off Tommy Bush "I Don`t Like It"...and yes, I do like cats
November 2, 200519 yr I like Carnical and Kapp with their litle motifs . can I put forward Buddah as I like the hippy glow of it
November 2, 200519 yr Here my fave for you........brobberly the best label in the world...... But one the worst records in the world....
November 2, 200519 yr I like the Karen label... I wonder why Edited November 2, 200519 yr by Soulgirl
