| | I have a few of the MFP Gold Edge series these had the gate-fold cover with the actual record inserted from the middle - I hope that makes sense. I have Johnny Cash 1970 (the first in the series), Diana Ross and The Supremes Plus, Simon and Garfunkel and Robert Goulet With Love. |

| | Hi, Phil, I have the same album(on cassette) but pre-Drum series. I also have the original Chartbusters Vol.5 but on CD, issued by Polygram but using the EMI cover artwork(reduced to CD jewel-case size) but they only used the front cover artwork. Anyhow looks like the Drum series covered Tamla-Motown as well. Funny, I never struck any but obviously you have. Cheers! |

| | @RC, you're referring to the "Gold Edge" series title "Diana Ross & The Supremes Plus", I expect. I have that album but the MFP Gold Edge seemed a very short-lived series. I know of only one other LP in that series, featuring Simon & Garfunkel, a ten-track compilation carrying a regular CBS label design but a Gold Edge serial number. |

| | Hi Neil, continuing the tangent about the Drum trademark, it was used for Tamla Motown too. I have the Aussie MOTOWN GIANTS lp (a cut-down version of the UK MOTOWN CHARTBUSTERS VOLUME 5) on the green Tamla Motown label, and I remember seeing it with the Drum logo on the cover a year or two after its first issue. I also once had a Supremes LP, BABY LOVE, which I think was originally on MFP in the UK, and I'm pretty sure that was a Drum issue. |

| | @Jasper, thanks for that info. this means EMI Australia held off in issuing this until a year after the British release, but, as can be seen on the Axis labels(above) the publishing year shows 1974, three years later again than the first Australian issue. Perhaps the 1974 refers to when EMI reissued the album as part of its "Drum" series. There wasn't an actual "Drum" label as such, merely the drum symbol appearing on re-issues across all EMI labels, Columbia, HMV, Parlophone, Stateside, Capitol etc., but curiously, not Tamla/Motown(or at least I don't think Tamla/Motown was included in the "drum" roll). |

| | @RC, the Axis trademark is definitely early-1980's, I think they changed it again when they started issuing CDs under the Axis brand in the mid-1980s, about 1984 or so. As for Summit, yes, they would, on occasion put the trademark of the original recording company in the box alongside the Summit trademark. Then on other occasions only the Summit tm would appear and the original copyright owner would be acknowledged on the rear sleeve. As for the positioning of the tm, it would turn up on any corner of the sleeve, depending on the artwork and the best place for the tm, top-right, top-left, bottom,-right, bottom-left... it varies! |

| | Hi Neil Forbes - According to the database from the site http://australianrecordlabels.com/ your copy would be 1971 - I know databases are only as good as the info that goes into them. The site was working yesterday but for some reason I can't access it now. |

| | Looks like a mid eighties issue to me going by the style of print |

| | Interesting they've retained the EMI/Columbia trademark in the top-left corner while adding the early-1980s Axis trademark in the top-right corner. I'd have thought that EMI Australia would've put the Axis tm over the top of the Columbia tm when reissuing this. Just noted the publishing date on the label, 1974! The original Columbia issue(SOEX-9723) would've most certainly predated that, even though there was no publishing year shown on the label of the Columbia issue(I have it in front of me as I type this). |
