There were actually three recognised price points in the late-1960s.

Albums priced less than regular albums, but sold at more than 15 shillings were considered 'budget albums' for the purposes of the budget album chart (yes, such a thing did exist). Anything below 15 shillings was disregarded, and ineligible for any chart.

Really, the albums from 15 shillings up to regular should have been called mid-price albums, because a genuine budget album chart was introduced by Record Retailer in 1970, which included all the cheapos previously excluded.

So, regular - mid-price - budget is a more realistic take on things.

In the case of Pye, I guess you would have Pye as the regular price, Golden Hour as the mid-price, and Marble Arch as the budget label.
