russh29 YQ... but the brown labels on this entry uploaded by "thepretender" are the 2nd type you referred to ? does 2nd type mean 2nd pressing or were two label types used on the first pressing...
A. No it means nothing specific, NOT 2nd Pressing, it only gives a guide to the point in time when it was pressed. example, if it had small Deram on brown label - that identifies it to be the first run of vinyl that used a stack of labels from the printer in that style, between April 1971 - Late 1971. If the vinyl was given a brown label with larger DERAM text size, this would confirm the vinyl was pressed sometime between March 1972 - May 1972 that used a stack of labels printed up with the larger text and so on with the red labels. It is likely that some months never saw a DERAM record pressed up so there will be some months missing, as in Late 1971 to March 1972 etc.
(Note this is my interpretation of data from Labelography Volume 2 by Jan Pettersson, who is a guru of these things (apparently).
I've revisited the Labelography book vol 2. Suffice to say the Deram label story is a complex entity.
For the purposes of this Caravan record, the coloured labels shown are referred to thus. The Slightly Orange, Red Deram label shown 1st is known as type #24.
2nd brown large Deram are know as type #22 and type #23. the difference between the #22 & #23 is that in type #22 the date sits at the bottom, type #23 date sits right side middle. Type #21 is now shown and resembles type #22 but with small Deram brown label. This is the 1st type that ITLOGAP appeared on and is 1st press.

Excuse me for asking again wordnwot but the brown labels on this entry uploaded by "thepretender" are the 2nd type you referred to ? does 2nd type mean 2nd pressing or were two label types used on the first pressing...confusing isn't it ?
There are images of what I presume you refer to as the 1st type available on the Discogs entry here
FOR SDL series only (there were 15 releases that used this Cat Series)
1st type: Brown small DERAM logo April 1971 - Late 1971
2nd type: Brown large DERAM logo March 1972 - May 1972
3rd type: Brown and Same as 2nd type but with added date above matrix right side of label (May 1972) only
4th type: Soft Red as in above label here. Date above matrix, June 1972 - October 1973
5th type: More intense red with crimson hue Date above matrix, Summer 1972 and again in 1977.
** There seems to be a 6th and 7th type with Small and Large DERAM logo's on RED with the date at the bottom like here. (dates unknown probably post Summer 1972 - 1973)

But why were Caravan 45's in UK released on Decca not Deram?
I think the Golf Girl Single came out well ahead of ITLOGAP while they were still on the Decca roster, ahead of a concious decision to assign them to Deram.
It looks red label were the second pressing for this album, right? I'm a bit confused abouut the red/brown Deram labels... In the beginning I believe they were using the Brown for Mono and the Red for Stereo, but when they ceased Mono, apparently Brown were the first pressings and Red the second? Or am I wrong...?
