Corporate background:

Ron Hall, author of "The CHUM Chart Book" kindly supplied the following info: “Phonodisc started operations in 1956 in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough. The main label was Regency Records which started with record #500 and ended with #983 in 1966. The original colour scheme was a cream background with purple print; by #617 the colour scheme had changed to a dark green background with silver print. The next change was in 1965 just before the label folded: the background was two-tone blue with black print. The Regency label was mainly an outlet for US releases in Canada, as was the Delta record label, also pressed by Phonodisc.”

The broken 'swelled rule' positioned over the centre hole is also featured on the Delta label.
