W.B.lbl 22nd Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Dick Dale And His Del-Tones - Summer Surf	There is also a Scranton variant of this LP and accompanying 45.
W.B.lbl 16th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Dennis Yost And The Classics IV - Stormy	And, by its demise in 1971, reissues of United Artists material as well (there was a Bobby Goldsboro LP issued on Sunset that year).
W.B.lbl 16th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Allan Sherman - Songs For Swingin' Livers Only	Based on the history of Warner Bros. label designs, the grey-label {Images #2643375 & 2643376} should go in order before the gold-label {Images #1524741 & 1524742}.
W.B.lbl 8th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Authentic Sound Effects	Another track on this that became famous would be Track B19, "Cash Register, Modern Type" that would be heard at the very start of Pink Floyd's "Money" from their 1973 album The Dark Side Of The Moon.
W.B.lbl 24th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Myra Hess - Schumann: Concerto In A Minor	It was this label design that was the impetus for the December 1953 redesign of the LP, 45 and 78 labels for RCA Victor that were inaugurated via a few January 1954 LP's and the Perry Como single "Wanted."
W.B.lbl 23rd Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Johnny Gunn, Don Ralke - Introspection IV	Looks like this was test pressed by Research Craft, with lacquers cut by Radio Recorders in Hollywood.
W.B.lbl 22nd Aug 2024		Vinyl Album The Spinners [UK] - Live Performance	It is from 1971. It was on the UK albums chart in the summer.
W.B.lbl 22nd Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Harry Secombe - If I Ruled The World	This was on the UK albums charts in the summer of 1971. Take that what you will.
W.B.lbl 22nd Aug 2024		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Top Of The Pops: Vol. 18	The lass on the cover looks almost like Cheryl (Cherri) Gilham.
W.B.lbl 16th Aug 2024		78 RPM Music In The Russ Morgan Manner - The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down / Toodle-Oo	West Coast pressings of this used the earlier Brunswick label design with gold leaf type. This was confirmed by: [YouTube Video]
W.B.lbl 13th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Jim Reeves - Moonlight And Roses	This copy's images should be placed in the proper entry, as it's Australian. [mod: now in the right place]
W.B.lbl 6th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Sergio Mendes And Brasil '66 - Stillness	{Images #3638903 & 3638904} is a Columbia Terre Haute pressings; over here can be seen the Pitman.
W.B.lbl 5th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Frankie Carle, His Piano And Orchestra - 30 Hits Of The Thundering '30s	That label is of the U.S. issue, this it should be re-flagged as 'USA'.
W.B.lbl 5th Aug 2024		Cinema Square Of Violence (1961)	This movie was part of a 145-film package syndicated by MGM to local TV stations starting in 1968 called 'MGM/7'. This was notable in that neither TV station in New York that split the package amongst themselves - WNBC-TV (Channel 4, which selected 74 flicks) and WOR-TV (Channel 9, which got 70) - would pick up and air this one. But then, this package came out in the same year as the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, plus the mayhem outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and TV stations became instantly skittish over films with titles such as this.
W.B.lbl 4th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Oklahoma! Motion Picture Sound Track	The original U.S. mono issue was SAO-595. LCT 6100 was the UK release. First-copies were on a red label as seen here.
W.B.lbl 28th Jul 2024		78 RPM Cab Calloway - Nobody's Sweetheart / St. James' Infirmary	Funny, I'd've thought the Cheltenham {Images #3630345 & 3630346} was East Coast and the Century Expanded {Images #3630091 & 3630092} was West Coast, but . . .
W.B.lbl 26th Jul 2024		78 RPM Benny Goodman - Dr. Heckle And Mr. Jibe / Texas Tea Party	Some 50 years before Men At Work had a minor hit with another song whose title was similar to this A side.
W.B.lbl 24th Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Great Hits From Stage And Screen: Volume 2	This looks like it was around 1969.
W.B.lbl 23rd Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Olivia Newton-John - If You Love Me, Let Me Know	{Images #3534981 & 3534983} was an RCA club edition, pressed in Indianapolis. Copies also exist of Capitol Record Club copies (cat. # SWAO-95768). Have yet to see a Columbia Record Club pressing (with Pitman type, natch').
W.B.lbl 19th Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Peter Frampton - Wind Of Change	From Terre Haute. Here's the ochre-label Pitman variant.
W.B.lbl 10th Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Brook Benton - Brook Benton Today	There is also a Columbia Pitman type variant, seen here.
W.B.lbl 9th Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Dick Dale And His Del-Tones - Surfer's Choice	The summer camp I stayed in once had a copy of the Scranton {Images #2285677 & 2285678} of this LP.
W.B.lbl 4th Jul 2024		78 RPM Pat Boone - April Love / When The Swallows Come Back To Capistrano	When die-cut, the 78 labels' X and Y axes (horizontal and vertical diameters, respectively) were 74.7mm (2.9409") and 74.8mm (2.9449"), with a center hole of 7.2mm (0.2835") drilled in. It lost about 0.7% of its original size (give or take) when pressed onto the record. Though dating to the late 1920's to c.1930, RCA (whose Indianapolis, IN plant pressed {Images #421354 & 421355}) revived this smaller label size when they inaugurated the 4-color Nipper label in 1954; before then, they used a die-cut label whose X and Y dimensions were 76.3mm (3.0039") and 76.4mm (3.0079"). The rim print was specifically laid out for 78 RPM use, and only used there; Bert-Co in Los Angeles shrunk the 45 RPM-orientated rim print for their use on 78 RPM pressings.
W.B.lbl 3rd Jul 2024		Vinyl Album The Doors - Strange Days	And, we are seeing this again, this time with RCA Smiths Falls-pressed {Images #3608478 & 3608479}.
W.B.lbl 3rd Jul 2024		Vinyl Album Enoch Light - 4 Channel Demonstration	{Images #3607788 & 3607789} with the Columbia Pitman type looks like it was pressed after 1973 or thereabouts; the "Inc." in the music publishing credits give that away. (Before early 1972, the 'c' was closer to the period than to the 'n'.)
W.B.lbl 30th Jun 2024		78 RPM Peggy King - The Hottentot / Burn 'Em Up	The last-ever 78 promo on Columbia; with the next week's (12 July) releases, they switched exclusively to offering them on 45 RPM.
W.B.lbl 28th Jun 2024		78 RPM June Valli - I Understand / Love, Tears, And Kisses	On Indianapolis pressings, the "New Orthophonic High Fidelity" blurb was on the left side of the label. This was just as RCA Victor was on the eve of fully transitioning to the color Nipper label.
W.B.lbl 28th Jun 2024		78 RPM Stuart Hamblen - This Ole House / When My Lord Picks Up The 'Phone	Original Hollywood pressings used the “circle"”label (and, on 45 pressings, the earlier design for that speed). I’ve yet to see an Indianapolis copy on either speed with the color Nipper.
W.B.lbl 28th Jun 2024		78 RPM Stuart Hamblen - This Ole House / When My Lord Picks Up The 'Phone	The "circle" label {Images #1963051 & 2791672} came from Indianapolis, whereas the 4-color Nipper {Images #826230 & 826235} was a Hollywood pressing with label fonts from Bert-Co. So it was, too, on the 45 RPM 47-5739.
W.B.lbl 27th Jun 2024		78 RPM John Gordy - Isle Of Capri / Bye Bye Blues	Duly changed. The stock release also appears to have been the last on RCA Victor (at least on Indianapolis pressings) whereby the 78 label was die-cut at 76.2mm (3"). When they fully went to the color "Nipper," their label size changed to 74.6mm (2.937"). There is also now a link to the 45 RPM 47-5750 release. That old label design was retired along with this "circle" design, after this.
