Almost every day I see a new label that was distributed in the States at some time by London/Decca. They all have the distinctive two tone orange colours. I'm thinking about labels such as Tribe and the one below which is yet another new one on me. Things like the Hot Tamales record, at one point came out on a London distributed version of the Detroit label. If anyone spots any others can they post them here please?

I was looking for this thread last week, started a new one with sound clips.

NIce one. Though this one doesn't need sound clips cos I just wanted to find out how many variations of labels there are.

Someone put this up on the other page but after a second look decided to scan it.

I don't get on here much at the mo due to new work and study stuff, but I'm pleased to see this thread is still running. Have we had the "All Boy" label yet? What a great name...

No, but thats a beauty! Never even heard of it before

Dont want to stray a bit, but I've got a copy of Rain - Out of my mind on a blue London label of the same design, but it's a Canadian release

Now here's a nice US London oddball release.. Does the label remind you of a certain British label? This was released on UK Oriole in 1962. Funny how the US release replicates the label, but also gives Jackie Lee her own personalised indie!

Think I found a new addition

Sure have Pete...

And here's another!

Stroke of Genius really.

All London Distributed subsidiary or distributed label PROMO's put out on the same generic full colour standard label with single colour specific overprints as required.

Created a 'branded' house style in a sensible and economical manner, whilst maintaining the individual logo's own identity.

Clever stuff.

Another one! Well sort of :lol:

This is Jamaican for a start, and although it doesn't mention London distribution it's the blue version of the promo labels they used. Unless they sold some of the blanks - or an enterprising Jamaican got his hands on some :D

Awesome thread this and pretty amazing how new ones keep showing up.
