World Record Club
| Описание: | EMI sublabel formed in late 1954 (according to an editorial in the April/May 1959 edition of the WRC magazine "Record Review") as a mail order record label releasing all styles of music, from Pop through Spoken Word to the Operatic works of Gilbert & Sullivan, and issued on 78s, 45s and LPs. Branches of the World Record Club operated separately in UK, Australia and New Zealand. A particular recording could have a different catalog number in each country. Australian releases typically had different sleeve designs to UK releases. UK World Record Club The first LP labels were "World Record Treasure" up to about number T58 (middle of 1959) and then changed to the second WRC label either in red or green which lasted until 1965 (T500). The third label was the stroboscopic label, also in either red or green which lasted until 1971 (ST1000). The fourth and last design was issued in two-tone orange and black although a plum and black one has been seen. The Stereo recordings were first issued in 1959 although recordings had been made in both stereo and mono in 1958; a "stereo" sticker being fixed to both the label and the sleeve. The first true stereo release seems to have been T26 with Anthony Collins and the Sinfonia of London. Later issues were shown as "World Stereo" on the label design. All the releases were under licence and were sent as far a field as Australia and New Zealand. The label was taken over by EMI in 1965. The label continued to run until sometime in the late 70s when EMI merged with Thorn. The name of the WRC was changed to World Records on 26th October 1973 By late October 1978 it had become the Retrospect Collectors Society. By late August 1979 the HMV catalogue was listing World Records but only as historical re-issues on the SH series of numbers. Australian World Record Club In Australia the World Record Club established its own design studio for production of distinctive sleeves which formed part of a strategy to differentiate their offerings from the major record companies. A select range of premium items were also offered under the label of The Record Society (Aust.) Pty. Ltd. As was the case in the UK, in the mid 1970s the World Record Club was taken over by EMI. From this time a focus on cost reduction resulted in less effort being put into original design work and some titles were released with the recording company design stamped with a small World Record Club logo. Australian World Record Club releases can be dated approximately by the address given on the rear sleeve. Prior to 1966 it was 330 Flinders Lane, Melbourne. From 1966 to approximately 1974 it was 299 Flinders Lane Melbourne. From 1974 to 1980 it was 605 Camberwell Road, Hartwell, Victoria 3124. The Record Society address was 393 Flinders Lane, Melbourne. |
