Unlike the main Cameo 1000 series, which featured rock and roll and top-40 type music in addition
to pop and folk, Cameo started two additional specialty series. The first, the 2000 series, was started in
1962 and featured only three albums, two by the International Pop Orchestra (billed as a "110 Man
Orchestra") and a burlesque show album. This series should not be confused with a later Cameo series,
started in 1966, which used the Cameo-Parkway logo.
The other specialty series was the 4000 series, also started in 1962, which was a collection of
recordings done on 4-channel 35-millimeter film instead of conventional magnetic tape. The material on
this series was generally pop music, even including a Bobby Rydell album, where he "recreates the days
of the big bands."
Both series used the regular Cameo label that was also being used for the 1000 series at the time.
