I'm trying to pinpoint a memory of mine from when I was a small child and played with my parents records.

One record they had (my memory says it was Nina Simone and it include Baubles, Bangles and Beads, but that could be wrong) sticks in my mind, and I recall a label that looked kind of like the artwork for this Decca single, except it was yellow and orange. If it was Nina Simone, it was probably an unauthorized album.

Anyone know of label art that looked like this?

Dean,

Might this be it?

Dean, there was a label that used a similar design with yellow and orange, but I can't recall their name. I've run across a few of their releases in thirft stores and they're usually easy listening "hi-fi"-type records.

Linda. This might come off as inappropriate, but I love you!
This has been something that has always been a flicker of a memory from when I was about 4 or 5.
Now I have the concrete image.
A heap of thanks to you.

Linda beat me to the punch and, yep, that was also the label I was thinking of. Not sure why I thought there was orange in it, though... :oops:

My memory had orange too. But at least there was enough proper memory to clue Linda into what I was looking for.
Seeing that cover was pretty emotional for me just now. Much to my dismay, when I was a kid my favorite toys were my parent's records. I proceeded to destroy many of them.
