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)

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.
