	KING Although some copies of James Brown's fall, 1968, hit "Say It Loud-I'm Black And I'm Proud" play stereo, King didn't really get to putting out stereo singles until May, 1969. They then released a majority of their singles in stereo until the summer of 1970, after which they reverted to mono. The King labels themselves used a variety of designs over the 1968-70 period. The earliest label was blue with silver print (top left), although they concurrently used a maroon label with the same design during 1968 and 1969. Sometimes these labels had the large James Brown Productions logo on them starting in 1969, and sometimes not, depending on Brown's involvement. Promo labels during this time were usually yellow with black print. Although occasionally these promos were stereo (as the example at right), most of the time the promos were mono, whether the commercial counterparts were mono or stereo. In May, 1969, about the time King started releasing stereo singles fairly routinely, the James Brown Productions labels changed to orange and black (left, second from top). Most of these orange and black labels were in fact stereo, and were marked so. In 1970, some of the orange and black labels were stereo without markings except for the stereo master number, which started with "SK-" instead of "K-". A few without the "STEREO" designation were in fact mono, which can be seen by the mono master number on the label. Promotional versions of the orange and black label just had "PROMOTIONAL" under the large "K" logo at the right of the label. The orange and black label lasted until September, 1970, and the blue label was used concurrently. About August, 1970, King introduced a new white label (left, third from top), and concurrently, a new black label (left, bottom). Like the blue labels before them, both these black and white King labels sometimes carried the James Brown Productions logo, and sometimes not. About the time King went to the new labels, they shifted back to mono for their singles, and remained that way until the end of this 1968-70 period. Promotional counterparts to these new white and black labels used the same label with "PROMOTIONAL" above the large "K" logo at the left of the label.

Some copies of King 45-6187 give the title of "Say It Loud-I'm Black But I'm Proud." The single was released with both blue and maroon labels. None say stereo, but some play stereo on side 1. 2. Possibly issued as a promo only. 3. The commercial copy is MONO, but "Faces" exists on a mono/stereo promo.
