Dreamland was a short lived (1980-81) subsidiary of RSO Records, founded for releasing Mike
Chapman productions (of the well-known Nicky Chinn-Mike Chapman songwriting team). After the stint
with RSO, Chapman used the Dreamland imprint for many additional projects, most of which were
released outside the U.S. The 1988 album Lita by Lita Ford, which contained the hit "Kiss Me
Deadly", was produced by Chapman and had the Dreamland logo on the label.
The first label (from the RSO days, far left) is a cream color on the bottom dissolving into (mostly) blue above with black lettering, depicting a (daydreaming) little girl with "DREAMLAND" written in violet letters under the girl. The following text is written in the form of an arc at the bottom of the label: "MANUFACTURED & MARKETED BY RSO RECORDS, INC. 8335 SUNSET BLVD., LOS ANGELES, CA 90069." Later, when Mike Chapman did work for Lita Ford on the RCA label, his Dreamland logo appeared on the RCA label (near left). |
