Mr Marmalade, from previously having little interest in the Fame label, you have now got me studying as many labels as I can find! :read:

Am I right in thinking that apart from EMI (who are the parent company anyway) it is only Liberty and Capitol who had their logos added to the labels on the first 30 releases? For example, should there not be Harvest logos here:
the-electric-light-orchestra-in-old-england-town-boogie-no2-1982-ab-t.jpg
bebop-deluxe-fair-exchange-ab-t.jpg

Strangely, there was no Capitol logo added to this one:
the-beach-boys-wouldnt-it-be-nice-1983-ab-t.jpg

Or are these later pressings? Apologies if I am adding to the confusion!

This is difficult to tell, because they show the scanning variations, and also the fact that some labels are actually a shade or two lighter... and to add to the fun of the fair, I'm certain a plain white red grid label is about, just before the switch to plain light labels.

(True white label appears briefly around the same time as the toxic yellow... these earlier are on the coloured vinyl Pipers, which must be special editions pressed later than the normal Fame Piper - oddly, not seen or heard of any other titles in the fame cat pressed on coloured vinyl!)
