Rondo started issuing 10" albums in the early 1950s, some or all of which were
issued on red vinyl. The original Chicago-based Rondo Records probably did not release 12-inch
albums. The label used for the albums was green with silver print, with the same logo as used on their
singles (which had red labels).
