Canaan Album Discography
By Mike Callahan, David Edwards, and Patrice Eyries
Last update: April 17, 2003




Canaan was a subsidiary of Word Records. It started in 1965 as a vehicle for the label's Southern Gospel quartets. Early issues were in the CA-4600 series for mono, and the CAS-9600 series for stereo, with corresponding last two digits. All had the suffix "-LP", but for simplicity this has been left off the catalog numbers in the listings below.

Early labels were red with black print. Later, the label changed to black with a color logo and a distinctive vertical row of colored dots down the middle of the label. In the mid-1980s, the label changed to a full color label showing a desert town (presumably Canaan) at sunset, with colors fading from green to yellow to orange in the sky, and tones of brown for the sand.
