..perhaps need to revise the time frames for the labels then, and this would seem to mean that the postage stamp labels persisted into the eighties (black and white ones), which must mean then that the "retro" labels, with the semi circular nipper logo must be eighties pressings at most... just got to figure when they came in then, if it was early eighties or mid eighties (?)
Hi MM, I'm not familiar with the chronology of the HMV label designs, but I remember the Aussie pressing of the 1979 Boult recording of Holst's THE PLANETS (stereo) having this same label design, and so it seems did the UK pressing, so it looks like it wasn't just for the quad albums.
...The date is 1980, and yet the vinyl is sporting a healthy set of colourised "postage stamp" labels... which, seeing as by the mid seventies the labels had already (seemingly) abandoned these in favour of the black and white versions, then gone through he colour semi-circle "retro" labels, I am a little puzzled as to why these were used?
Could it be that they retained (or revived) them specifically for the quadraphonic albums, or were they still using them for selected titles?
