London (UK) Album Discography, Part 1:This first album series for the London (UK) label began in 1951 issuing 10-inch albums, which were
the most common format for LPs at the time. The series began with albums made up of material that
had been released on the US London label, including US hitmakers Al Morgan and Teresa Brewer. The
series soon included reissues of American albums from other labels.
By 1956, in order to keep track of the sources of the American albums, a label code was inserted into
the catalog number, starting with 1043. The codes seen here are A=Cadence; B=Era; C=Regent;
D=Dot; F=Essex, Ellector; G=Seeco; N=Bethlehem; U=Liberty, Tampa, Riverside, etc.;
Z=RKO-Unique. U seemed to be a "catchall" letter for miscellaneous labels not otherwise listed.
The 1000 series ran from 1951 to 1958, somewhat later than the 10-inch format lasted in the United
States, where it was generally abandoned by 1956.
|
|
The label on the 1000 series was purple with gold print, with the London label name at the top, and "AMERICAN SERIES" between two horizontal lines just above the center hole. "MADE IN ENGLAND" curved around the top edge of the label. |
