GimmeVinyl 13th Dec 2019		Mine was manufactured by Columbia House under license..



PhilMH 16th Dec 2016		I think you might be right about Australia not getting the red label, Lee, but I'm not 100% sure as I didn't have cause to buy any Oz Elektra albums in that period. However, the 45cat page shows that for singles, we initially went from the caterpillar label to an earlier version of the red and black, being a whitish label with the circular red and black logo at the top, before switching to the full red and black about a year later, and it seems that this variant was on US albums too, as Discogs has it on a repress of Grover Washington Jr's WINELIGHT, which was originally red label.



Lee Wrecker 🍰 16th Dec 2016		In Australia I think we kept the butterfly label till the 80's ushered in the red and black one. I'm not sure if we ever had the red label here (I don't have one in my collection) but I do know we had the Gold label till at least 1970. So prior to seeing the one on this page the only ones I'd seen were USA 69-70 releases on my Incredible String Band US releases. I'm pretty sure Elektra UK followed a similar to Australia (butterfly to red & black) in the late 70's early 80's. Strange how these things differ from place to place.



ajtharp ● 15th Dec 2016		That's alright Lee, The red label design was used from 1976 to 1983 and the red and black design was used from 1984 until 1989 when Elektra became Elektra Entertainment. I'll upload the cover soon, the cover is laughable as you can clearly see where the Quad info was previously printed and they just covered it up by using nearby extracts.



Lee Wrecker 🍰 15th Dec 2016		When I saw the red label it through me right off track taking me way back to the early seventies. Only on very close inspection did I notice it was a repress using the old red label template which incidentally was phased out in late 1970 I believe. So even if this album was released in 1973 it would never have been originally released on the red label at all but rather the butterfly label. You're right that 1973 was the release date for the quad version. However, ajtharp I think your label should be the primary shot as it is from the original release of this cat#. I've scouted the net and there are a lot of these red label copies listed as from 1973 for sale and incorrectly catalogued all over the place. This all started because I have a few original red label Elektra records and when this one flashed up on random records and I ran my mouse over it I thought that can't really be from 1980 can it and a cursory look on the label fooled me into thinking it was a 1973 release myself. Thanks for putting me straight but it was quite an easy mistake to make and the internet is riddled with it. I think if your labels were the main shot I wouldn't have noticed at all because that's the label I associate with Elektra from about 1980 on. Crikey, I'm in a typing mood today. Anyway, apologies for not investigating in greater detail before opening my big stupid mouth.



leonard 15th Dec 2016		the red Elektra image doesn't belong here then..



ajtharp ● 15th Dec 2016		This record was originally released in 1973 only in Quadraphonic, this standard issue didn't come out until 1980, hence the date.



Lee Wrecker 🍰 15th Dec 2016		The red Elektra label dates from 1973 (see image) but it does have the same cat# as the 1980 release pictured here. So the release date should be changed to 1973 to match the red label issue and not reflect the later release date of the black and red label reissue.
