Hi all, I'm writing a blog on Outlandish Label designs, who's got any? must be USA if you can, prefer soul, but any label thats had soul stuff on will do it..  I'm not wondering into other countries in the text..

 

Always love this Grateful dead song, and the US label......

 

any help gratefully accepted...

Here's one that I find kind of disturbing. I don't know why, but that red blobby guy creeps me out.

There's a 50s US label called "Fellatio", but can't find any scans of the label.

Excellent doo-wopper indeed Dave!  It's actualy an alternate take by The Kaptions, who had already released another take of this as a single on the Ham-Mil label in 1964.  This dates from 1973.

 

The name 'The Five Shits' is apparently the brainchild of Val Shivley.

Who ever thought this was a good idea?   

 

That Swastika release was a one off- the owners changed the name to Cuca

Here's another of their releases on a classic Chicago label (disgusting joke!)  It was listed as being arranged by an ex-neighbour of mine in San Mateo, California.  But, I think that was just a joke, as were the credits on the Lost Nite parody record:
