philmh: with mca/universal still using mca cat#s, i'd call it about evens, either way - until &/or unless "new dot" label staff signs & releases fresh newly-recorded material by (live or studio-only, e.g. producer-conductor plus pick-up orchestra, lone nutter with studio, computers'n'wppsers're, sound generators, drum machines...) currently extant artists°, separately from mca head recorded music (etc.) office manglement.
- but i'll allow it's a moot point.
(° - yes, or new as well as reissued back catalog(ue) soundtracks of locomotives, or spacecraft, or time machines... ;-)) )
ppint, I take your point, because I have made the same argument about Verve and other reissues that replicate the original label designs on the disc, but this case does seem to be a revival of the Dot label for a then-current issue - (P) year is 1987, and issue year is 1987.
philmh: i'd say "yes, if mca've resurrected the dot label as a live label",
but, "no, if mca're only using it as a bit of atmospheric design on (some) (& perhaps not necessarily always dot-catalog(ue)-sourced) reissues."
(- cf. castle/sanctuary/etc.'s use of the "immediate" logo & others on compilation cds issued by and/or on castle, sanctuary, pulse, castle pulse (etc, etc.) )
(- & yes, i'm sure some won't agree with yr hmbl srppint. :-) )
Shouldn't the label here just be Dot? Notwithstanding that the MCA company issued this, and the catalogue number has an MCA prefix, Dot is the only label logo present.
