Horizon Album Discography
by Mike Callahan and David Edwards
Last update: December 15, 2006





Horizon Records was started in 1960 or 1961 in Los Angeles by Dave Hubert. This was a folk and blues label, not to be confused with the jazz label and the Christian label of the same name.

There was a fairly active folk scene at that time in LA, and Hubert signed and recorded many of his artists not only in the studio but in concert at the Troubador, a popular folk and blues club. The early recordings on Horizon featuring an amazing array of past and future stars: Hoyt Axton, Barry McGuire, Jim McGuinn (who later changed his name to Roger McGuinn, then a member of the Chad Mitchell Trio, but later founder of the Byrds), the Chambers Brothers, Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry, Mike Seeger, Eric Weissberg, Erik Darling (of the Weavers), Rod McKuen, Glen Campbell, Mason Williams, Tommy Tedesco (of Phil Spector's band), Billy Strange, and others. [The line "McGuinn and McGuire, just a gettin' higher, in LA you know where that's at..." in the song "Creeque Alley" by the Mamas & Papas, refers to this period...]

Before 1963, Horizon was distributed by World Pacific, a West Coast jazz label, and used their numbering prefix (WP-) as well as their matrix numbering system. In early 1963, Horizon switched to Vee-Jay for distribution, switching to the Vee-Jay matrix numbers but keeping the World Pacific-based LP numbering system. Dave Hubert remained with Horizon, so it is not clear whether he sold the label to Vee-Jay at that point or some time later. In any case, Horizon continued to issue albums until late in 1963, when it was absorbed into the operations of Vee-Jay. The masters went to Mira/Mirwood shortly thereafter, which was owned by Randy Wood, then President of Vee-Jay. After Vee-Jay went bankrupt in 1966, Wood bought the Vee-Jay masters, so the Horizon masters were reunited with the Vee-Jay label.

Vee-Jay discontinued the Horizon label near the end of 1963. They reissued three of Hoyt Axton's Horizon albums, a Best of Hoyt Axton compilation, and a new album by him all within a few months in 1964. Some of the Horizon catalog was eventually reissued on the Surrey label, which was owned by Vee-Jay President Randy Wood, who also owned Mira/Mirwood. Much of the Hoyt Axton material was issued sparingly on reissue albums over the years. Included on the later reissues were a strangely understated (for him) "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte," as well as the reissue of "We'll Sing In The Sunshine," a song which appeared on an early Horizon 45 and which was written for Hoyt by his then-girlfriend Gale Garnett. Axton's version predated Garnett's hit version by about a year.

Of the later reissues, Exodus was a quasi-legal operation that was using Vee-Jay's masters and artwork while Vee-Jay struggled with bankruptcy in late 1965 and early 1966. The court which ordered liquidation of Vee-Jay in 1966 put a stop to Exodus at the same time, essentially ruling that they were for all practical purposes the same company. Exodus EX-301, which was to have been a Vee-Jay issue, even has the Vee-Jay matrix number (scratched out) in the trailoff grooves. After the masters were bought from bankruptcy, several now-legal issues came out on Vee-Jay International in the 1970s, followed by some budget offerings in the 1980s with leased masters.

The Horizon albums were inconsistent in how they indicated stereo. The first few used the mono numbers but noted "stereo" after the numbers. The mono albums had a black label with silver or white print, while the stereo albums were blue with silver print. Promotional labels were white with black print. We have used the "stereo" notation for the first four albums, then switched to "SWP-" as a prefix to indicate we have indication that the record was issued in stereo. The "SWP-" prefix sporadically shows up on the label itself for stereo issues, but not on the outer jacket, which was the same for mono or stereo except for the usual paste-over arrangement common at the time. It is possible that all Horizon albums were issued in both mono and stereo.

		Early Horizon labels were black with silver print for mono (far left), and blue with silver print for stereo (near left). Some stereo albums were pressed on colored vinyl. Both featured a large Horizon logo, a series of circles touching at the bottom and extending around and above the center hole. Around the edge of the label, starting at the 1 O'Clock position and running to the 11 O'Clock position, was, "Horizon Records Incorporated, Manufactured in United States of America, unauthorized public performance; broadcasting or copying prohibited." This edge text was used while Horizon was distributed by World Pacific.
		Promotional labels (far left) were white with black print, with a much smaller logo above the center hole. Apparently all promo labels used the original World Pacific label blanks, since as late as Horizon 1635 the original World Pacific edge text was used on the promotional labels. After the switch to Vee-Jay (starting with Horizon 1613), both mono and stereo labels were black with silver print. The logo was white, as well as "HORIZON RECORDS" on two lines to the left of the center hole. Edge text changed to: "Horizon Records Incorporated, Manufactured in United States of America, Of the VEE JAY family - exclusively distributed by Vee Jay Records, Inc., Chicago, Illinois.

HORIZON ALBUM DISCOGRAPHY

Cover	Number - Title - Artist - [Release Date] (Chart) Contents
	WP-1601 mono/WP-1601 Stereo - The Balladeer - Hoyt Axton [1962] Original issue has a half-shadowed photo of Hoyt's face, with a blue box in the upper right corner of the front of the album, and a 1962 copyright on the back cover. The 1963 reissue, noted just below, had the same album number, but a different title, a different cover shot, two less tracks, and a different track order. Recorded at the Troubador in Los Angeles, at least partly, with the future-Byrds guitarist Jim McGuinn playing backup (listed erroneously as Jim McQuinn). There are between-song stories and audience applause after the songs, but these are obviously spliced in, making one wonder if at least part (if not all) the tracks here are actually studio tracks, with the "recorded at the Troubador" part being the in-between patter. This album does give one the sense of being at a live performance, however. Ox Driver's Song (S)/Peggy-O (S)/Walking To Georgia (S)/Vandy (S)/John Henry (S)//Greenback Dollar (S, LP version)/Swananoah Tunnel (S)/One Grain Of Sand (S)/Brisbane Ladies (S)/Darlin' (S)/Five Hundred Miles (S)/The Balladeer (S)
	WP-1601 mono/WP-1601 Stereo - Greenback Dollar - Hoyt Axton [1963] Reissue has half-shadowed shot of Hoyt with guitar on the cover, a black back slick instead of the white one of the original, and a 1963 date with Vee-Jay Records notation on bottom back cover. This reissue deletes both "One Grain of Sand" and "Darlin'," renames a song, dumps the audience and talk between tracks, and scrambles the track order. You'd barely recognize it as The Balladeer album, since it was not set up as a show, but rather as a series of recorded tracks. There is no audience evident at all, reinforcing the theory that these are actually studio recordings. The reissue and the retitling of the album was undoubtedly to cash in on the success of the Kingston Trio's cover of "Greenback Dollar," popular in early 1963. The typo in Jim McGuinn's name has also been corrected in the credits, but not in the liner notes, which are the same as before. Greenback Dollar (S, LP version)/Ashville Junction [retitled from "Swananoah Tunnel" on the original] (S)/Brisbane Ladies (S)/Five Hundred Miles (S)/The Balladeer (S)//Ox Driver's Song (S)/Peggy-O (S)/Walkin' To Georgia (S)/Vandy (S)/John Henry (S)
