STARLINE - The Beach Boys
on 45
 |
USA Starline Rainbow label |
|
The rainbow-label was (re-)introduced in July 1983 for all 45-releases, and was also used for the Starline-series. This label was used until the summer of 1988.
The X-prefix - as introduced on the blue label - is also used here.
As for the label's layout. It hasn't been thoroughly researched, but there are a few differences to be noticed:
- The location of the (X-prefix) registration number: either left or right.
- Both a large and a normal X-prefix is used.
- The "original released" date is positioned either below or right.
- The "Arranged" and/or "produced" by Brian Wilson notation is sometimes used; it an be positioned on the left, right, or below side of the label.
- The label mentions both Mono, Stereo, or nothing at all.
Also on a few labels a different font type can be found and - agian, the prefix X exists in both a larger, a normal, and a smaller format. But as it seems, each release has it's unique lay-out; variations for a single 45 apparently don't exist.
As if to welcome the 80ies, again the sleeve was changed... and the Starline-logo as well! The sleeve has turned into a simple grey coloured sleeve with on top the brand new Starline-logo in a slightly lighter coloured grey. In te right-below corner the Capitol dome-logo is shown in white. Gone are the words "SUPER OLDIES" and "Biggest hits by the brightest stars"...
