Outlandish Label Designs

[Guest son of stan]

I've got a few records with this design. It's a striking picture, so I understand the appeal and wonder who owns the copyright and how did these lables find the image.

Maybe just a generic blank label you could choose to have instead of a plain one when you went to get the records pressed up...? Edited March 3, 2015 by son of stan

Gene Diamond on Mothers Records - owned by Frank Zappa I believe (?).

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.

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

after complaints.

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:
