HOME These pages was born when a confused collector (me)
had great problems with matching sleeves to labels.
The site is an effort to create a cronological overview
of labels and their sleeves.
The research has been pretty time-consuming,
but most of the problems seems possible
to solve with help from the users of the site.
Especially thanks to Middle Earth Records who has
delivered scans of sleeves from the start in March 2009.Here is an explanation of some terms used:

Labels
Scan of label Kapp Records Inc Label details 447 - 1962
to
644 - 1965662 - 1965
to
999 - 1969Catalogue numbers ....
As a rule only main label differences are shown. Label details are shown where this has
importance in finding a sleeve change.If I have have seen the actual record, (physically or from the web), or verified from other sources,
the catalogue numbers are shown in blue color.No hyphens are used - F-1644 is shown as F 1644.
There are gaps in the number sequence when
the excact moment of label-change is unknown.
Help in filling the gaps are most appreciated.....

It's nearly impossible to find the correct moment of sleeve change if this don't correspond with the label change.

If you have corrections or scans of missing sleeves,
don't hesitate to contact me.....
Preferred scan specifications:
100% size - 200 DPI resolution - both sides of sleeve on white background.
Please leave at least 10 mm. margins around the sleeve
(or send the complete scanner bed if you won't crop).
The 100% size is needed to be able to enlarge small details on the sleeve,
such ason US RCA no 25.
