P & Q Parlophone Philips Phoenix Piccadilly Play Plough Polydor Quality | ||
The Beatles first single was on a Parlophone red label.....so was The Dixielanders! (see Vocalion) | In 1962, Parlophone changed to a black background. | |
Piccadilly's "Heather" series featured Irish acts exclusively. | Butch Moore and The Capitol's first two singles were on Piccadilly, a Pye subsidiary with a catchy label design. | |
The Gentry were one of the few Irish acts on the Philips label. | Polydor became a big international label in the years following this release. | |
Play started with a black/yellow design, but changed their colour scheme three times. | Murphy & The Swallows featured on a bright red Play label. | |
Back to a simple blue and white colour scheme in 1972 | Blue changed to violet in the mid-70s for the Play label. | |
First release on the beautifully-designed Phoenix label | I have no information on the Plough label | |
Another first release, this time on the GAA's Plámás label | Information on this label would be welcome. | |
