JSngry Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 HA! Nah, I was just struck by the label on that 78, and one thought led to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 The obvious answer is Duke, which had a mostly orange label with black writing. RCA singles in the early seventies also had mostly orange with black writing. Orange and yellow & black writing is fairly common - Roulette, Sue UK, Chess, Pye International UK.

JSngry Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 My Duke LPs all have purple labels, I think? Don't have any 45s... The RCA 45s, yeah, a lot of orange, but what I was really referring to was more a more equal balance between the orange and the black. That Cash 78 & the King things had it to the point of looking like Halloween. And as for Joe Comfort, yeah! The man who really swung all those Sinatra sides!

Oh yes, if you mean that sort of equality of orange/black, I don't know any. It is dramatic. I have a few later Ernie Freeman singles, mostly on Imperial, and most featuring organ. And a later version of "Jivin' around" recorded for Ava, the MGM subsidiary, in 1965, which wasn't up to much. And I wondered what the earlier version was like. And there's almost no comparison. I haven't a turntable for a couple of weeks, so I thought I'd see if they had them on you tube. Here's the more recent version, which is just OK. MGThe 45 has a different design to the 78. And the orange looks yellow and the black looks washed out. Compared to King, it's not terribly dramatic. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Love that $1000 coming off the roll. It's probably on the 78, too, but the money goes round and round so fast, it's inflationary MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 ... but what I was really referring to was more a more equal balance between the orange and the black. Well, the (French) PRESIDENT label would be one, I think ... (if you are willing to count that in ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Other than King in the late 60s/early 70s, what other label(s) used orange & black? Coral 45s. I have some 78s too but am not going to dig them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
