The Fantasy 6000/86000 Debut Series was a jazz series that ran from 1962 to 1964, with one
additional album added in 1971.
This series used the usual Fantasy labels, with red/maroon for mono (far left) and blue for stereo (near left). Before 1963, the discs were issued originally on red vinyl for mono, and blue vinyl for stereo; starting in 1963, Fantasy went with the conventional black vinyl releases. |
