There were exceptions, but I've often wondered why U.K. Labels in the 60's

were not as colourful and Imaginative as the American Labels.

I prefer imports theese days but I think the red and white Island takes some beating.

One of my fav's.

Not to be outdone by asboannie..............

There's some nice colourful labels that come out on the West Coast...

also.....any red and white demo's, especially Okeh and UK Tamla Motown, Stateside etc....

Must admit Really like the green UK Tamla Motown demo's too.

In fact i quite like a lot of the British lables, another that springs to mind is the red & white Beacon lable , always thought that was a good design.

P.s.

We did a similar thread a few months back, perhaps someone could link them as there was some good scans there too.

West Coast labels, love em...

Hello Dear Boy ....

I always had a soft spot for UK Mowest ..... a tranquil design .

west coast..

Direct, nice and colourful. Uni, a bit too colourful

Action was a nice colourful British too.

really cool looking label me thinks, found this in Kansas City last year, but no idea where this label is actually from, great record too.

don't personally have a copy but looks quite good non the less......

So much nicer than plain white......

These have to be among the nicest label designs I've seen...

Edited January 26, 200718 yr by mel brat

Seem to remember the In Crowd - Happiness In My Heart on Viva being a nice label, pity the songs crap though.

So much nicer than plain white......

Also this multi colour vinyl press plays so much louder & clearer than the West Coast styrene red issues & white demos.

here's a fun one....

Edited January 26, 200718 yr by djr

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

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?
