Guest trickbag Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 69/70/71:Black label 45 RPM SINGLES: A GUIDE TO FIRST PRESSING IDENTIFICATION . MERCURY 5000 through 8999 (1949—1952): Maroon label. 70000 through 71039 (1949—1957): Maroon or black label, though maroon ends around 71100. Also used in this series was a label picturing Mercury (Roman mythological messenger of the gods) in a square, which appeared on maroon, black, pink (R&B), and green (C&W) stock. 71040 through 72320 (1957—1964) Maroon or black label, with the Mercury ellipse (or oval), or square logo. 72321 and higher (1964 forward): Red label. ricky.

John Benson Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I can't agree with that guide being entirely accurate though. That Carl Hall is on Mercury 72396 and so is later than it states above (for red labels) anyway. I guess there was a bit of overlap during the changeover from black labels to red ones. I've a copy of the Paramounts on the black Mercury logo which is a later number than 72321: The Paramounts "The girl with the big black boots" / "I won't share your love" Mercury 72429 I'll see about posting a scan of it later.
