Pete S Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) Almost every day I see a new label that was distributed in the States at some time by London/Decca. They all have the distinctive two tone orange colours. I'm thinking about labels such as Tribe and the one below which is yet another new one on me. Things like the Hot Tamales record, at one point came out on a London distributed version of the Detroit label. If anyone spots any others can they post them here please?

pikeys dog Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 the M.O.C label also. Two tone Orange copies are the promos - must have saved them a fortune in printing cost to issue all demos on the same label. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Obviously, London distributed the London label but just wanted to get a pic up Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
pikeys dog Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Don't think I've seen MOC, who's on it? A handful of R&B records and a couple of cheap Northern tracks whose titles escape me at the minute.... Also some Country and Latin Boogaloo type tunes, seem to remember someone mentioning that the M in the label name stands for Memphis? I'll get back to you when I remember.

Mace Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) I've got a Tommy Jay 45 on the M.O.C. label (bought blind and in the junk pile ) Edited November 19, 2007 by Mace Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
pikeys dog Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Big Lucky - Stop Arguing - M.O.C is a decent enough R&B track (not R'N'R or C&W) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Thanks folks, any others you find, send them in, trust me to start a topic then go totally blank and not be able to remember any of them. Presumably there is a two tone Deram label as well as the usual brown/white one. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Pete Griffin Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I think i have seen a blue london one as well with the same design. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I think i have seen a blue london one as well with the same design. That's right Pete. I have a discoey thing somewhere called Porcupine by Zone on the light/dark blue scheme. I also have seen 45s by Rolling Stones and (come on memory!) Larry Page Ork on a yellow and Green variation.

Djr Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Presumably there is a two tone Deram label as well as the usual brown/white one. Yes, I have a few of these. I can post up scans after my daughter goes to bed tonight. I'm pretty sure I have a US pressing of Eyes of Blue "Heart Trouble" on the orange swirl label.

45cellar Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) I know we already had Marlin but this is a good blue eued dancer Hi Pete I don't know If this is of any help. Just looking through my Hi DEMO's, the Earliest I have is 2075 Which is White & Black Just a few Numbers on and the Orange Multi Shade Label Appears for the DEMO. Might Just be that my copy of "20-75" is from a different pressing plant. However, I was wondering If it was around this time that they Started the Trend of Orange DEMO's. Which looking on >>> SoulfulKindaMusic <<< was 1964 Edited November 25, 2007 by 45cellar Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Dewhirst Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Unbelievable thread! Brilliant. The level of knowledge is A.1. I worked for 'em in the 70's but it's ridiculous how many of the distributed U.S. labels got lost. I once had access to the U.S. London/Decca distributed library at Albert Embankment for about an hour. Naturally I concentrated on Northern and managed to bypass much of the above....... And now it hurts LOL......... Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Denbo Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Almost every day I see a new label that was distributed in the States at some time by London/Decca. They all have the distinctive two tone orange colours. I'm thinking about labels such as Tribe and the one below which is yet another new one on me. Things like the Hot Tamales record, at one point came out on a London distributed version of the Detroit label. If anyone spots any others can they post them here please? Bloody hell Pete, I see what you mean. I can also see what pikeys-dog meant about saving a fortune in costs. Seems like they have a base label design then just print over that for any label under their control. Nice one. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
