PhilMH 27th Jan 2015		CD Album Stevie Wonder - Talking Book (2000)	Review These reissues that use "historic" labels will be the death of me! Universal are probably the worst offenders for doing this, but by no means the only ones - Fantasy had their Original Jazz Classics line, where the vinyl issues replicated the originals (Prestige, Bluesville, New Jazz, etc), but in the Fantasy catalogues (and in the Concord catalogues that succeeded them) they always specified the label as Original Jazz Classics. Similarly, EMI-USA's "Legends" series of CD reissues in the 1990's frequently replicated dead labels like Aladdin, Minit, Imperial, etc , but always with an EMI-USA logo on them too (like this one also has the Motown logo on the label, to match the branding on the back cover and spines). The SHOUT! label from England put the old Back Beat label design on their Joe Hinton CD a few years back. Essentially, these old designs are being used in a different context than what we are used to, and are more in the line of package artwork rather than "label branding" as such, and if the company considers this to be on the Motown label, I'm not going to second-guess them. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
