Silver Blue is a label owned by record producer/songwriter/artist Joel Diamond.
Silver Blue is still in business and has been since 1973. At first, it was distributed by Polydor from 1973
to 1976, then switched to T.K. Productions distribution in 1976. Later, when T.K. was folding, it was
switched to distribution by Sunshine Sounds of New York until 1983, then starting in 1983 by CBS.
Today it operates as Silver Blue Productions.
The first Silver Blue label was blue with black lettering and "SILVER BLUE RECORDS" written in blue lettering bending around the top edge of the label. The Silver Blue label was first distributed by Polydor. At far left is the regular Polydor-distributed 45 label, while at near left is the corresponding promotional label. Bending around the bottom edge of the label was, "DISTRIBUTED BY POLYDOR INCORPORATED NEW YORK, N.Y. MADE IN U.S.A." | ||
After the switch to T.K. Productions as a distributor, the label remained unchanged (the background color was a little more green) except for the fine print around the bottom edge of the label, which changed to,"DIST. BY T.K. PRODUCTIONS, INC. 495 S.E. 10th COURT, HIALEAH, FLORIDA 33010". Album labels and singles labels during the T.K. distribution period were similar. The commercial label is shown at far left; promotional labels (near left) were white with black print. | ||
With the change to CBS distribution, the label design changed. At far left is the 12" single label. At near left is a 7" promotional single. | ||
At far left is a 12" single sleeve from 1985. At near left is a 12" vinyl EP from 2005. |
