Bob Manning, the artist featured, was a smooth-voiced crooner who achieved wide popularity in the mid-1950s; he died in 1997.

Design: An interesting contrast in script styles in the upper segment, with fine pen lettering placed above obese brush letters for the label name.

Generally, a three-dimensional effect is achieved by using a black shadow (e.g. the Artiphon Record label), but this cannot be done with a solid black background, so coarse horizontal shading with a white release to one side creates a side-lit effect (compare with the much earlier Silvertone label).

Rarity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Value: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
