Chelsea Album Discography
By David Edwards, Patrice Eyries, Mike Callahan & Randy Watts
Last update: September 27, 2010





Chelsea Records, as well as the subsidiary Roxbury label, was a Los Angeles based label owned and run by Wes Farrell. Farrell (born December 21, 1939) was a prolific songwriter, having penned more than 300 songs, including "Hang on Sloopy" and "Come a Little Bit Closer", and was a producer of some note, producing the Partridge Family and Lulu, among others. He started Chelsea Records in 1972 and ran the label until its demise in 1977. Farrell died of cancer on February 29, 1996 at the age of 56.

Chelsea used the same label design throughout its life, although there were two different color schemes. The label design showed the logo at the top, resting on a series of clouds. The CHE-1000 Series and the RCA series both used a predominantly orange label (far left), with some pink, and a yellow sky. The logo lettering was blue with a green sash. After leaving the RCA distribution, the Chelsea label changed to a predominantly green label with some blue, and again a yellow sky. Logo lettering was pink with an orange sash. Print on both labels was black.
