Mick Holdsworth Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Does anyone know anything about LIFE records in US ? It is clearly a Decca label, layout colours etc. but they have solid middles. The only records I have ever seen on LIFE are Double Diamond / Champion productions like Len Barry / Swordsmen. Cheers Mick
Guest Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Does anyone know anything about LIFE records in US ? Good question...the Brenda Lee YouTube clip above is taken from a Life label LP.
Phil Shields Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 That's my fave track from that outfit Great group...here's another, 'Twice As Much For My baby' / 'Sweet Lorene'. I've got a rawer different take of this Dave ... Fab Tune
Guest Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 I've got a rawer different take of this Dave ... Fab Tune I've got a soundfile of an alternative version...wonder if it's the same?! Is yours an original acetate...lets be 'avin' that scan up here!
Mick Holdsworth Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Good question...the Brenda Lee YouTube clip above is taken from a Life label LP. Never noticed that before - still love to know what the label was about though - the 45's have seen have solid middles.

Dave Its on the flip of my avatar - audiodisc acetate with one way or another on one side and twice as much for my baby on the other. 6ts acetate plays great but has a little flaking on the run in. Cheers
Guest Gogs Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 ...and here is the demo copy...note the 'A' in DECCA is circled to indicate the official 'A' side...clever stuff from the label designers! well spotted even dug my copy out to check lol
Guest Gogs Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 just bought this missed it on release mid 70s dont know how kev Got this on (uk) stock copy great track should be played out more
Geeselad Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Just picked up - David Clyton Thomas- say boss man on Decca, unknown to many apparantly, Davis was laterly lead singer with everyopne's pop, rock , jazz fusion act, Blood sweat and tears. Its a twangy R n B growler and I just love it.
Guest leeolitina Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Bump...so no 7" release outside of Japan...surely not?! What about this one?
YourArsenal Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Don't mean to drag up an old topic, but I was looking for the answer to something kind of relevant.My copy of Danny White "Cracked Up Over You" has the smaller, single-line song title. There's obviously also the version with bigger type, over two lines. Now I'm not really worried about either one being counterfeit, but is there a logical difference between the two? East coast/west coast, different pressing run, just completely random?Also… It's been touched upon how the Decca logo in some cases is on the right rather than the usual left… I'm pretty sure this is because labels would make large quantities of blank record labels (ie. with logo/basic info that would be in every release), and then print individual release info on each as they went along – title, artist, writer, publisher, etc. This makes sense from a cost perspective, as making one, large batch of full-color labels is (or was, there's probably not a big difference now) cheaper than making individual full-color jobs for each single release. This is why you can sometimes see song title/artist name/etc printed twice on a label, while everything else is perfectly aligned. I'm sure Decca had guidelines stating that the logo should be on the left, but it must have (and apparently did) happen that someone messed up and the logo ended up on the wrong side.There's been cases of bootleggers getting hold of blank stock labels and using them for counterfeit releases (Jerry Cook "I Hurt On the Other Side" on Capitol, with the text printed too close to the center, I believe is such a case). Sorry if this is all common knowledge, but I saw it being questioned and not answered in the thread.
