I have most (if not all) of the rest of the annual Firestone Christmas LP's to enter. However, I question what to do about the label?

The two that were entered already by other users used two different labels
http://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/slp7006
http://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/slp7011

The first link shows a typical label. The big name at the top is of course Firestone, the small print at the bottom says "FTP records" (which is what I'd think would be the one to use), The "Forrell And Thomas" comes from the back sleeve on the erly issues, the records were produced by Forrell, Thomas and Polack Associates" who were the advertising agency. Volumes 4 through 7 do say Forrell and Thomas on the label.

Someone has also suggested the discs were actually produced by RCA special markets, but that is not indicated anywhere.

What would be best, I want to be consistent so they show up together (again, my thought would be to use "FTP" ( Google references an article in Billboard in 1960 saying FT&P were launching the new label "FTP Records")

Hmm -- first problem is that 7006 has no label image .. so my answer is -- who knows! :confused:

I've scanned all 7 labels and sleeves, just haven't had a chance to process them.

Volumes 1-3 say FTP records, Vol. 4-7 say "Forrell & Thomas" (after 1965 "Pollack" was dropped from the name)

All 7 of course do say Firestone across the top

I had just hoped I'd be able to be consistent so they'd all show up together in a search.

Actually, lookihg at them, I think I'd best just go with the way the labels are printed, and if we can link the two afterwards, fine. (I didn't want to upload the label from vol. 4 to show the difference because my copy is mono).

OK? or NO?

I'd say go with that and then at least once they're up we can have a look at them and adjust if necessary.

They can always go on a List to keep them together if needs be, as another possibility.

OK, all loaded. If "Forrell and Thomas" is linked with "FTP" in labels we should come up OK. The only one that's "not right" would be volume 2, shows "Firestone" as the label.

Using "Firestone" as a search term in "all" it does bring them all up, by virture of the word in the title (and the label in volume 2)
