Design experimented with both a DLP-500 Big Band Series and a DLP-700 Oldies Series. We know little about the DLP-500 Big Band Series, as we have found only one album listed for it.

The DLP-700 "Golden Oldies" Series was a series of various artists albums offering some legitimate late-1950s/early-1960s hits, with the albums padded out with four or five non-hits culled from the Pickwick empire of generic junk. Thus, along with Wilbert Harrison, the Five Satins, the Turbans, and Noble "Thin Man" Watts, we're subjected to Jackie McLean, the Fabulous Cyclones, T.N.T. Tribble, and Teacho Wiltshire (who?). Of course, these filler "hits" are conveniently listed where they don't easily catch the eye of the casual buyer.

In fact, in terms of eye-catching, the cover artwork on this series is reminiscent (no accident, for sure) of Roulette's then-popular Golden Goodies Series. Many of the "real" hits also are included in the Roulette series, but it is only courtesy of the folks at Pickwick that we can delight to the bogus filler hits from the Design catalog.

The DLP-700 Series used both the full color mono label and the black and white version of the label. They also used a generic album back.
