Disneyland Records - 12-inch DQ Series LP's

12-inch DQ Series LP's

These were nominally the same as any other normal LP record. The earliest titles from the late 1950s were recorded at and pressed from Capitol Records on Hollywood and Vine. They are identified by the words "hi-fidelity" on the cover under the Disneyland name in place of the word RECORD as on the later editions. On the disc itself, instead of a circular groove at the end of each side as on a modern LP, there is off-center/eccentric groove at the end of each side, causing the stylus to slowly wander back and forth if left unattended. Most of these have a yellow label, however some have a blue, green or red label.

Later pressings were made by varying companies. RCA pressings have a slightly blue tinge to the vinyl similar to many conventional RCA pressings of the mid-1960s. MGM pressings have a slightly brown tinge to their vinyl similar to any MGM/Verve/Metro pressing of the same period and the Columbia pressings of the early 1970s have a slightly red tinge to their vinyl similar to their conventional pressings.

Famous quotes containing the word series:

    Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.
