Design Album Discography, Part 7:
DLP/SDLP-900 "Three of a Kind" Series

By Mike Callahan, Randy Watts, David Edwards, Patrice Eyries, and Doug Henkle

Design also put out a short series of about a dozen albums in 1964 called "Three of a Kind." Each album had three artists, loosely linked by some common theme. This was another effort by Pickwick to repackage old material. Each cover featured a large "3". Typically, these albums had nine tracks (sometimes ten), but they were not necessarily split evenly among the artists. One artist sometimes had only two songs, with the rest split between the remaining two artists.

The first pressings from 1964 used the black and white label with silver print (far left) for the mono DLP- series, while the stereo counterparts on the SDLP- series were issued on the Stereo Spectrum label with the usual gold Stereo Spectrum label (near left).
Occasionally, other labels were used, such as the black label with no graphics for mono (far left). In 1965, Design discontinued the Stereo Spectrum label and changed to a red label with black print (near left) for both mono and stereo. Therefore, red-label issues were repressings from 1965 or later.
