Threshold was a London Records subsidiary formed by the Moody Blues for their projects, including
their own group and solo albums, and albums they produced for others. The label name came from their
previous hit album, On the Threshold of a Dream [Deram DES 18025].
The record jackets for the most part were gatefold covers with artwork continuing from the front to the
back. All albums are stereo.
The first label (far left) was white with black print and a purple Threshold logo at the top. This was used until approximately THS 9, when it was replaced by the second label (near left). The second label was blue on top fading to dark blue or purple on the bottom, with the label name inside a multicolor swirl emanating from the center hole. | ||
Custom labels such as shown here were used for some of the later issues. |
