The Weed label was active for a short time in 1969, long enough to issue one album by Motown
artist Chris Clark. This label proves that the people at Motown had a sense of humor, since the slogan
for the label was "Your Favorite Artists are on Weed". There was only one album released on the label
and no singles.
The Weed label was black with silver printing, with "WEED" above the center hole in yellow. Above the name is the Weed logo, a raised hand with two fingers making the peace sign on a black background, almost a parody of the Stax logo. The standard commercial release of WS-801 (far left) does not mention Motown at all. A white label promotional release WS- 801DJ (near left) has "A Trademark of Motown Record Corp." on the record label. |
