| | Returning to the comments a while back about label/sleeve disparities, I found a striking example of this the other day. Print runs for album covers are one-offs, and relatively expensive to do. Print runs for labels are cheaper (basic label design does not vary from one release to another), and cheaper still if generic blank company labels can be used across many releases through overprinting.
If company names (or distribution) changes, then it would make economic sense to use up existing sleeve stock before commissioning any reprints with updated logos and company names. My example of a similar kind of thing happening, is the scan I recently added elsewhere here showing an Island LP sleeve (it shows the Island logo) for an Eno release, overstickered by Polydor with their catalogue number and containing a Polydor-labelled disc. In this case, EG distribution/licensing was initially through Island before changing to Polydor. |

| | Here is the original two tone Reprise label with the W7 and r: logos on it. Thus the front cover with that logo, which continued to be used while the labels changed. |

| | Thing is, ppint, that the actual record labels don't have a W7 or 7 Arts logo anywhere. I know that the parent label was Warner Bros.-7 Arts Records for a time (early in the green label era, I think), but as far as I know, Reprise was never similarly renamed. Let's not go down the Discogs route of calling any old logo that appears on a cover a "label". Think of the W7 here as EMI-style corporate branding. |

| | jjjones: and you'd looked on the cover, front top(ish) right, you'd've seen the warner-seven arts-reprise (w7 glyph)reprise logo.
(seven arts took over warner-reprise, so it'd be truer to say that (both) warner (and reprise) became, and was (were) for a time, seven arts' label(s).) |

| | Gatefold cover added, and earlier labels (inner sleeve is "Loss Leaders" promo and has Ⓒ1972)
Why is there "7 Arts" under label? Nowhere to be seen, and was it not only a Warner label and company?
