Amongst my new years resolutions this year is to post a minimum of 2 label galleries a month over the year (until I have more or less completed what I intend to post)
Technically my poll from earlier this month was the first lot. Today, I am posting my second gallery and is part 1 of a gallery of record labels from companies that had a small number of releases.
the first label comes from a release from record company Endeavour records
I have only seen one release by this company and it was the LP entitled “Reach for the Sky” by Apollo 100
the next label in the gallery is for Landfall Press. The company had a number of releases between 1974 and 1977. The following is their custom release label
In part 2, I’ll post a Landfall general release with the Peter Pan records logo. (probably in March)
the next label is for Melbourne based record label, Pisces records (which was released first through Festival and later through Astor records (Astor’s gallery is coming soon))
In case if anyone is wondering, yes, it’s the same Johnny Young of “Young Talent Time” fame.
Here is another one shot. Impact Music Promotions only had the one release, a compilation LP of disco music (I however have a sneaking suspicion this was a one-shot release of K-Tel (as the address was the same as where K-Tel International had it’s offices at the time.))
and finally, a record company that had three or four releases (it turns out that Omega made at least two dozen releases) before finally disappearing into the ether – Omega records.
the label is from a compilation LP of comedy and novelty hits (such as Rod Boucher’s “No Worries Luv”, John Williamson’s first hit “Old Man Emu” and Ray Stevens’ “Bridget the Midget”
