Quite like the Action label with those psychodelic swirls, and Mary Jane with the nice red and white checker pattern... and it has a cool name, i wonder where it came from? whistling.gif

Hi Brill label.Lots of innovation in designing Labels .Wonder how and who designed them?One of the lesser talked and known about with regard to our "Hobby".Although I am aware that (probably) most labels were not designed with ,as yet, the yet Un-named Dave Godin coined "northern soul"-we associate labels with what we collect, whereas "label" owners probably just wanted a hit?I suppose the most documented label design is Shrine ie the assassinated presidents epitaph Steve

Well, how about Kick Off Records then ? It does look quite tasty and reminds me on the design Merging records had, which is quite odd as the only 45 I have on Kick off is by Garland Davis and is a beautiful version of the Carl Underwoiod biggie on Merginhg which I also have. Garland Davis btw I strongly believe is none other than the young Ray Agee. Why ? Because first he has Zeke Strong as his bancking band and this guy is on nearly every single recording done by Ray Agee and second, the flipside offers a beautiful slow deep scorcher which shows that the voice is oh so similar to Ray Agee..so where were we at , right newly beloved label designs...KICK OFF is my contribution then laugh.gif
