Mal C Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Hi all, I'm writing a blog on Outlandish Label designs, who's got any? must be USA if you can, prefer soul, but any label thats had soul stuff on will do it.. I'm not wondering into other countries in the text.. Always love this Grateful dead song, and the US label...... any help gratefully accepted...
Sjclement Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) I've always liked the early Hot Wax Edited February 28, 2015 by sjclement 1
Mal C Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Hot wax....... try Ear Wax... brilliant.. dunno what you have done there, Pic doesn't load up..... Edited February 28, 2015 by Mal C
Soulstu Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Brown Dog records CEO: "Hey Larry, I've got a great idea for the label design - it's kinda literal, but what the hell.." 1

Guest Dave Turner Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I always thought Hype was outrageous in it's way

Tiberius Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Here's a crudely ornate label design, Royal Kingdom. Bit of a hand drawn look. 1
Tiberius Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 B-Jet is another. Looks like someone got the watercolours out. 1
Mal C Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) cheers Guys, some great ones there... here's the blog, I'll add some more scans in tomorrow after a round up... The World in 45 revolutions Edited March 1, 2015 by Mal C 1
Swifty Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 There's one called Mothers Records and the Snarf co. which I always chuckle at , don't know how to do a piccy though

Winsford Soul Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) I like the bamboo label design or the Hot Chocolate one Forgot to add. I always had a soft spot for the Speed label, don't know why Steve Edited March 1, 2015 by Winsford Soul
The Yank Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I do like the blue label version- I'm glad this black variation didn't last long .
The Yank Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I'm not including this for the design but for the label name. I've always wondered what they were thinking ??
John Benson Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) anybody got a good flat scan of anything on the ear wax label? Hunts Determination — I Need Love, being one release, cant find a good scan.. Is this any good for you? Not really 'outlandish' though is it? Edited March 1, 2015 by John Benson 1
Mal C Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 cheers none the less john... Ive got a pretty good selection, I just need a Bunny 'Hopping With Hits' label, or a 'Bet Its a Hit' something like that, had these years ago but long since sold... M
Stateside Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Don't know what's going on with this guys arms and legs, hard to tell which is which! Kev
Guest Polyvelts Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Early mod-art label, the one with the volcano !,
Greg Belson Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Here's some nice gospel soul & funk labels. Edited March 2, 2015 by Greg Belson 1
Mal C Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Thanks again guys, some great ones there, Greg yours were all new to me, and thanks George, that Heem and Music monsters scan is far better than the one I have.. Kev, that scan of Boogie man Orchestra, is actually my scan... small world... lol cheers all.. Edited March 3, 2015 by Mal C
Pete S Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Brilliant design this - copied from USA Chartbusters LP, a compilation of Okeh material that came out on UK Columbia

John Reed Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) I've got a few records with this design. It's a striking picture, so I understand the appeal and wonder who owns the copyright and how did these labels find the image. Edited March 4, 2015 by John Reed 1
Stateside Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks again guys, some great ones there, Greg yours were all new to me, and thanks George, that Heem and Music monsters scan is far better than the one I have.. Kev, that scan of Boogie man Orchestra, is actually my scan... small world... lol cheers all.. Ha ha, I lifted it off the internet to save scanning my own copy. There were a few, what are the chances eh! The other scans were all my own. Kev
Reforee Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Is this any good for you? Hunt's Determination Band I need love promo.jpg Not really 'outlandish' though is it? John never seen promo of the Earwax label and is quite plain to the issue, although the issue design isn't outlandish. Dave 2
Davenpete Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Tarpon (A Love Reputation - Denise LeSalle) has got to rank high - a Tarpon is a very famous big game angling fish which is actually a giant (up to 300lb) herring. Sassy Kitten is great looking and weird. Dx

Godzilla Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 One of my favourite looking labels with a couple of nice surf and garage things and some whacky low-fi girl stuff. Some issues in nice red vinyl. Apparently Cleo is actually label owner Tommy Falcone's wife in a halloween costume. 1
