If you go on www.45-sleeves.com, they have the yellow Brunswick label in use from #55167- #55250 ( 1960-1963).

The Black Brunswick label started in 1963 with #55251.

I see a lot more Orange Brunswicks than yellow ones, I also thought your yellow label was a promo.

Despite the 3 and 6 on the matrix, I'd have thought the Orange was first and Yellow second. The Typesetting on the yellow is as used on later issues, and typical of a product remaining on catalogue for a while after first issue.

Sorry to go slightly off topic here (as I dont think this particular 45 has one) but can someone tell me where the light blue label demos fit in?

Cheers Paul

Yellow is the demo I would think, seen a couple of Brunswick tracks like this.

NOT A DEMO I HAVE LOOKED ON JM'S SITE

55221 IS LISTED ON THERE NOT AS A DEMO SAME TYPE SET AND RELEASED IN 62

I THINK SEANS ANSWER SEEMS THE MOST PLAUSIBLE

THANKS EVERYONE
