[Sigs 79]

BROWN BOMBER "It's the bomb!"

[Dazz]

Think this is a cool label

[BabyBoyAndMyLass]

Cool thread, labels can be exciting in themselves, from my box...

Hiya, always loved 'huff puff' and british demo's. Sorry no pictures, have enough trouble typing with one finger.  Maybe someone could stick a pic of huff puff, cheers

I've always liked this label design - and the record, an Al Wilson cover, is awesome. 

 

[Pga1]

Thanks Steve,  still looks Great,  Cheers

[David Meikle]

I always loved the colour scheme and text design on this one. The music helped too!

[David Meikle]

Sometimes a simple design can be very effective. This one was named after JoAnne Bratton's son Derek who tragically died in an accident in 1962. JoAnne's nickname for Derek was Ric-Tic. The label mesmerised collectors. I yearn for those innocent days.

[Geeselad]

these for starters

 

 

 

Always like labels with photos of the artist too,

 

[Mach]

And another nice one.

One of my favourites

Kev

[Marshman]

Couple of beauties from my box (Scans from internet) 

 

[Chris L]

Always thought these were pretty cool..........

 

[Bbrich]

two of my favourites are 'fee' & 'roadshow' which have already been posted - i do like the 'cartoon' style. 

[Colouredman]

Best labels ever got to be:

Monster Masters label: Ruby Jean Roving girl

Rika label for Tommy Bush

Quinvy label.

[maslar]

As  a design classic I don't think you can better the Tamla "twin globes" (any of the variations). Ric-Tic and Golden World  close seconds.

JoAnne told me this 15 years ago.

[Sigs 79]

That Smoke label though.

[Guest silentsoul45s]

These label i thougjt were cool idead with the faces 

[Woodbutcher]

Probably the 'un-coolest' has to be Arctic , guess nobody told the designer that penguins only inhabit the southern hemisphere ...

On of my favourite labels out of Buffalo N.Y, love the multicoloured design.

[Davenpete]

Can't find pics of em and sold em a while back but I love - Bomb (Fabulous Impact 'My Baby'), Sassy Kitten - I Don't Like IT But I Love You and Boogie Man Records 'Lady Lady Lady' (still got that one), prettiest label I ever had was Penn Records (You Don't Love Me Anymore - forget the female artist). Dx

[Weingarden]

Love Quinvy and some others, but this is my all-time favorite.

 

[Trev Thomas]

[Ik001]

 

[Molemanrecords]

[The Yank]

This one looks good especially in its sleeve.

I really think this label looks cool. Comes in a blue/grey colour scale as well...

Love the look of this Aussie release Astor label.
