Columbia 10-inch Album Discography, Part 6:
Children's Series (JL 8001 to JL 8014) 1949-1951

The JL-8000 series was Columbia's 10" Children's series.

The label used for the CL-8000 series was yellow with red print. The "COLUMBIA" name was at the top of the label, bending around the edge. There was a thin red circle concentric with the center hole and about a half-inch in from the label edge. Along the bottom edge it read, "LONG PLAYING MICROGROOVE" with the LP logo between "playing" and "microgroove." At the very bottom of the label, bending around the edge, was fine print which read, "Trade Marks Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. Marcas Registradas Made in U.S.A. Pats Pending". Within the circle at the top was a drawing of children with the word "NONBREAKABLE".
