Prestige Records....gold & black trident label?

[Jazz Vinyl]

Can someone provide generational reference for Prestige gold and black trident labels.

The record in question is Red Holloway with Brother Jack McDuff - "Cookin' Together". I have seen 3 different labels for this record - yellow & black, black trident and gold trident (blue trident too?).

Can these labels be put into chronological release order?

What was the purpose of the black and gold trident labels? Were the gold & black labels used often?

Marcello - thanks for your info.

What I'm in hopes to learn is Prestige Records use of gold and black trident labels.

Did gold or black trident pressings come out before blue trident pressings, after yellow & black?

For Red Holloway "Cookin' Together" Prestige record - I have 2 different copies each with a different label - gold trident (PR-7325) and black trident (PRST-7325)...are these older than yellow & black, blue trident pressings?

I have rarely seen Prestige black or gold trident pressings. Did Prestige use them often, I wonder when and why?

Thanks again

The only gold trident label I ever had/saw was a reissue of Saxophone Colossus from around 1963.

I have a copy of Miles Davis' Steamin' with the gold trident label.

There is no address on the label but the album cover has the Bergenfield NJ address.

can someone post what gold trident looks like?

Gold trident:

Not gold trident:

[Daniel A]

Gold trident:

I'm no expert, but doesn't that look like the early 70s "Fantasy" Prestige label?

Indeed, and that's EXCEEDINGLY common.

[kh1958]

The gold trident label does have the same design as the later Fantasy green label, except it is a deep groove pressing with RVG in the wax.

[Chuck Nessa]

and it was printed on gold paper stock.

Hmmm...I thought these devices were used to listen to MUSIC. This seems more like stamp collecting.

I find it a bit odd that there's no address info in that label.

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

i agree jsngry: hmm are these vangelder stamped? are they really legit issues?

[Chuck Nessa]

Mine was.

[kh1958]

RVG in mine also.

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

ok, sounds good. hope i find one! i told you guys about that rvg stamp that ive never seen him use anywhere, except on this one indian music prestige-of-the-world lp. it was "RVG", but really really really tiny block letters. ive never seen it elsewhere

Van Gelder ? Sounds like you might have the much rarer Rajiv Gandhi stamp son.

I have a gold labeled copy of Eric Dolphy's Outward Bound (w/RVG stamp of course). I read somewhere and it might have been the Goldmine book that it was only used for a short amount of time, like a year or less. Don't know why.

I have an old Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants with the same type label, it's obviously very old and mono. I looked on ebay and they all have the black and yellow label, I'm wondering when they used these all gold labels.

Around '62/64
