This series was the 10" counterpart to the GL-500 series of 12" albums. It started as primarily a jazz
series. This series only lasted for six albums, from GL-100 to GL-105. The GL-500 series, the 12-inch
black-label counterparts, lasted to GL-525. At that time, Columbia opted to discontinue the GL-100
series in favor of incorporating the jazz releases into the main 10-inch CL-6000 series. Likewise, the GL-
500 series was changed to the red-label CL-500 series, which became the main series for Columbia's
pop and jazz releases.
