the layout for the new site
Sorry about the lack of posts, but I have been in the middle of updating my website (in this case, the Audio Fidelity Database.)
The image that appears above is the final layout for this section of my site and I should have this subsite completed by the middle of October (this is the reason I have been neglecting this site for the last week or so.)
when I upload the new site, there will be additional pages, a few new photos and an assortment of other bits and pieces.
Once this is finished, I will then get this site up into full swing by the end of October.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.


Over the next couple of weeks, I will be highlighting some of the record labels that will be appearing here, before I start digging into the archive, starting with Summit Records and Music For Pleasure.
This was the original budget record label (you were able to purchase these for as little as 99 cents), starting in Australia in the late 1960’s.
the label’s specialty included releases from some of the smaller record labels from around the world, and compilation LPs from the majors.
below are the labels for both Summit and MFP (the design was practically the same)

the Music for Pleasure label

Summit Records
Summit also had a Gold series (the perimiter was a darker blue)
(Update: 29/1/2010)
Here is Summit’s Flair series label

the company was more or less taken over by the Rainbow Music Group in the early 1980’s
by 1986, the MFP label was temporarily brought back in a series of CDs by Rainbow Products in a number of compilations.

Just letting everyone know that I have finally full access to my library after more than two years on the move.
In the next couple of days, I will be making my first official post to the “Off The Record” blog!
so stay tuned!
