DeLuxe Album Discography

DeLuxe Album Discography
by David Edwards, Mike Callahan and Patrice Eyries
Last update: April 7, 2018

The DeLuxe label was founded by brothers David and Jules Braun in Linden, NJ, in 1944. Syd Nathan bought into the company in the late 1940s and finally bought out the Braun brothers in 1951. From that time, DeLuxe operated as a King subsidiary.

DeLuxe's biggest hit was "Hearts of Stone" by the Charms in 1954. In the 1970-72 period, DeLuxe had the Manhattans under contract, the same group who would have the platinum hit "Kiss and Say Goodbye" a few years after they left DeLuxe for Columbia.

DeLuxe did not release a lot of albums. There were no stereo albums or stereo singles known before the label was revitalized by Starday-King in 1970.

The DeLuxe label for the 10-inch albums (far left) was green with two thin concentric rings intersecting the label name at the top. The (mono) label used in the 500 series (near left) was black with silver print.

The label for the 1970-72 reincarnation of the DeLuxe label was similar to the 500 series label, with the logo a bit larger. The label was black or dark grey with silver print.
