Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos 27th Apr 2024		Thanks, Keith! I was hoping someone who knows more than me about this label would chime in. My question is, is there any way to attribute these different label styles to certain plants? For example, did the former Keynote plant in Los Angeles continue to use typical Keynote typefaces?



KeithS SUBS 27th Apr 2024		Anyone who is interested in Mercury Pressing. around this date.... Main plant from the outset at St Louis 1945 Opened the Chicago plant 1947 Keynote West Coast plant sold to Mercury by John Hammomd 1948 They purchase the defunct Majestic label and its factory In 1948 they close the Chicago plant 1949 they talk about going over to Mercoplastic at all three factories St Louis, Los Angeles and Philipsburg NJ 1949 They sell presses to Al Siegel who stars production in Canada 1950 All three plants tooling up for 45rpm production



xiphophilos 27th Apr 2024		Thanks, Ed! Now we have both variants of the stylized Mercury head for this record. Variant 1 shows the helmeted head without shading and lists the company name as "Mercury Record Corp. Chicago Illinois USA." In contrast, the Mercury head on Variant 2 throws a shade on its left side, and the bottom of the label says "Mercury Record Corp. Chicago Illinois Made in USA." There are other layout and typeface differences as well. For example, your version lists the publisher and rights societies and the track duration on both sides. Both must be products of different pressing plants.
