always found one of the great things about collecting soul 45s is the vast array of labels and designs so thought it would be a good idea to post your favourite looking labels heres two of mine chicago,s betty label and from the west coast reness

Have to say... mine aren't a patch on mel brat's... but.. hey... i'm only a girl!

Nobody's perfect!

(and I didn't DESIGN 'em!)

Three more for ya! Cheri similar to Mowest, Twinight and Supreme labels

Actually, I always thought the PAMA series of Reggae labels to be among some of the finest - Escort, Camel, Unity etc. Very strong graphics. I always wondered who designed 'em! - anyone know?

Here's two i don't have ... but think are great

& this has got to be one of my faves... can't you just tell this is going to kick some serious soul arse!

Theres a red label of this but its boring compared

Always thought this was the better design..

One from '65

and you could write your name on the dotted line!

Nice looking label...

Two great little uk 70's numbers by Ray Munnings, nice label. I think there's something else on the label as well, anyone remind me what it is? what's the story behind these being uk only, or are they?

Ady,

The Imperials also had at least one release on this imprint. Can't remember what it was. May well have been a version of I'm On The Outside Looking In (I think).

Allways loved the simple promo / DJ labels. So pure.

Nothing below has cost me more than £5.00 in the past 5 years.There are still plenty of bargains out there.

I paid 50p for the parliaments promo Pottsy , are you offering £1.00

Just love the emphasis on the label of The Chalfontes 45 to how the group is named " Pronounced Shell-Fon-Tays" How posh!!! Brilliant!!!

640 x 520 (228.64k)

And these are great fun!

Yeh, a big thanks for helping me out with that sleeve Nick, looks as pretty as a plate of madras & rice at the end of a night on the beer! & that's pretty !!

Nice tri centre. Crap record.

Fascinating fact.

Although there are penguins on the Arctic label , there are no penguins in The Arctic.
