Fantasy Album Discography, Part 2:
3200 (mono)/8000 (stereo) Series (1955-1960)

By David Edwards, Patrice Eyries, Mike Callahan, Randy Watts and Tim Neely
Last update: November 10, 2010


Fantasy Records began their 12-inch album series in 1955 with the 3200 series. When stereo came in sometime later, they started numbering stereo albums in the 8000 series as they were issued, having no numerical relationship to their mono counterparts. This was corrected later. Most if not all of the mono albums on this page were originally issued on red vinyl. The stereo versions were for the most part issued on blue vinyl, but some were issued on red vinyl. We have noted the vinyl colors we have seen for these albums, but there may be others.


The mono label (far left) was maroon or red, with gold print. The corresponding stereo label (near left) was blue with silver print. There was a ring about two-thirds of the way from the center hole to the label edge, and this ring was at the place where a deep groove was in the record; these became known as "Deep Groove" or "DG" pressings. It was not uncommon for the early albums in this series to have one title on the album jacket, while having a different one on the label itself. For example, the mono label shown as Music for Dreaming by the Elliot Lawrence Band had a jacket title of Dream with the Elliot Lawrence Orchestra.
