The first Gospel Truth label is green with black printing. Above the center hole is a white oval with the
words "the gospel Truth Records" in red. This label was used on the 2700 series and the 3500 series.
The second Gospel Truth label was similar, except the white oval is smaller and the word "Records"
was eliminated, this label may have been used on reissues or an alternate at the same time the other
was used. Promo labels were the same except "PROMOTION COPY" was added. A third label was
green with black printing. On the third label, there is no white oval and the logo printed on the label is
"the Truth Records" in black (Even though the cover still has "The Gospel Truth" logo.) The only record
that we have that uses this label is Blue Aquarius GTS-2725, although at least some of the later issues
in the 4200 series were also called "Truth Records".
