Stereojack Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The cover says: STEREO RECORDS S7010 in asso w/ contemporary records and the spine also says: Stereo Records its The Poll Winners, the album that starts w/ Jordu- that one..... why does the cover list the label like that? When Contemporary started issuing stereo LP's in 1957, they were issued on the STEREO label. Apparently the name was not able to be copyrighted, so after about 30 releases, the label name was dropped, and subsequent releases were issued on Contemporay. Later pressings of STEREO releases are on the standard Contemporay label, black for stereo, yellow for mono. Here's a list: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Labels/stereo.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Maybe they thought that the prominent "STEREO" was a selling point to their customers at that time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
