Apple Records Uncut Label Sheet

2 comments:

  1. My interest in label sheets has more to do with the big picture of the technical end of how different record labels had different template standards for the center labels. Capitol, which distributed Apple, had a 3.5625" diameter bleed for center labels of 3.3125" trim as established in August of 1968. (Preferred text safety was 3.0625" diameter.)

  2. P.S. The markings on the outer areas on that sheet indicate a printing origin by Keystone Printed Specialties of Scranton, PA, thus pinpointing this sheet to about 1973 - and for the Winchester, VA plant. (Jacksonville, IL label blanks were printed by Artco Press, Inc., Terre Haute, IN; while those used by Los Angeles, with the apples more yellowish and the cyan / green somewhat faded, were printed by Stoughton Printing Co.)
