They were re-issues from the early '60s (1962-63?). For a while they listed "Golden Oldies Series" on the records, but also had a fair amount on normal current labels with only the different colour (gold, rather than blue).

[Kris Holmes]

yeah, some of them didn't even state Chess on the label, just Golden Oldies

Hi Robb,

Do you mean they were reissues released during the early 60s of records originally released earlier? Or they were reissues of records previously released on Chess during the early 60s?

[Kris Holmes]

they were reissues done in the 60s of earlier Chess stuff like Chuck Berry etc.
