Girthdevon Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I've not actually got anything on the label - but I love 'Quinvy' Girf
Guest Matt Male Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 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?
pikeys dog Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) Quite like the Penthouse label... Edited November 1, 2005 by pikeys dog
steve z Posted November 1, 2005 Author Posted November 1, 2005 Quite like the Penthouse label... 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
Marc Forrest Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 Well, we had that topic on another site some years ago and from what I remember (as they are unlikely to have changed..) mine were USA HYPE STAX (the old "record pile" logo) PUSSYCAT ...gotta agree on the "Miss Hemisphere" though

Stevie
Jo Law Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 faves of mine are CARNIVAL--love the little clown on his bike with the brolly---and the black and gold ANNA label with the maestro with his stick---
Kev Connellan Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 Quite like the Penthouse label... very nice looking label. one I've not seen before. I'm sure we've all bought records in the past purely because of the label design. Imagine trying to explain that to non-soulies!
Marc Forrest Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Hi Marc ,not been on the "other site"You must know of NEW labels to tell us about. Stevie 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
Guest andycambs Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 My fave label for looks has to be TAY-STER, the look on the guy's face is hilarious Andy
Marc Forrest Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 add another one, RIKA....off Tommy Bush "I Don`t Like It"...and yes, I do like cats
Guest Richard Bergman Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I like Carnical and Kapp with their litle motifs . can I put forward Buddah as I like the hippy glow of it
Guest Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Here my fave for you........brobberly the best label in the world...... But one the worst records in the world....
Guest Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) I like the Karen label... I wonder why Edited November 2, 2005 by Soulgirl
