The original Doré label (far left) was light blue with black printing, with "Doré" in script on a black feather above the center hole. This was used for the 1000 and 100 series. Our original copy of LP-101 has a slight brownish fade at the very top of the label on both sides. The late 1960s/early 1970s Doré label (near left) used on LP-320 to LP-325 was a similar design to the original light blue label, but used silver print on dark green or dark red. The last known vinyl release, LP-344, had a black label with this design with silver print. | ||
Around 1971, starting with LP-326, the label was redesigned (far left), and this multicolor label was used throughout the rest of the 1970s and early 1980s. The label was black with silver printing. To the left of the center hole was "DORÉ" in yellow; above the center hole is a multi-color feather. In 1981, Doré started a collector's series of LPs which were issued on colored vinyl, but the pressing plant messed up the vinyl order and the albums proved mediocre sellers, so the series proved short- lived. These collectors series LPs used the original light blue Doré label design of the late 1950s (near left). |
