Celebrity (England) / c. 1929
Corporate background:
Label scan courtesy of UK music researcher
and collector Bill Dean-Myatt, who notes: “Considering its long life
(1927 - 1932) it is astonishingly rare.“
Design: The
label name, Celebrity, seems to bear little relation to the
graphics, a golden (rising?) sun emitting long tongues of fire.
Likewise, the angled line of lettering, in
a flowing brush script, is not well integrated with the image,
but the overall effect has strength and appeal.
