Feel free to tell me if I should be ashamed for not knowing already heheh! 😆

So, a simple one hopefully: Alladin mid 50s issues on Burgundy and Blue labels:

Were they issued simultaneously or one colour first?

Does the answer apply to all issues or does it vary between releases?

What was the reason for different labels?

Anything else relevant I should know?

Thanks in advance experts 😉

Aladdin switched from the blue to maroon labels in 1954 around the time of #3260. But at times they ran out of maroon  and used whatever labels were available especially in the case of a big hit (Shirley and Lee's "Let The Good Times Roll" and Thurston Harris's "Little Bitty Pretty One" among others).

            I know I've seen more "Let The Good Times Roll" on the blue label than on the maroon. With Thurston Harris, I've seen maroon, purple and black. The purple was issued when it was a hit but the black label would have been a repress.
