Clarion Records (1930-1932)
editClarion Records was a Dimestore Record Label owned by Columbia, along with Velvet Tone, Diva, & Harmony.
Clarion was specifically designed as an "Ultra" Budget Label, and for over have of the labels existence only one song a record would be copyrighted (costing 2₵ per record in royalties). and for almost a year, the other side of the record would be completely non-copyright material.
Eventually Clarion started releasing records with both tracks under copyright, starting with Clarion Record 5319-C.[1]
Clarions Label Design
editClarion Records had a relatively basic label design, having a green background with a gold outline and gold text. along with a herald playing a long and straight horn that was also colored gold.
Clarion had a very similar label design to the Sears-Roebuck record label Challenge, Challenge also being made up of green and gold, but with a knight holding a sword.
Clarion Catalog Numbers
editClarion had multiple catalog number series, the most common one being the 5000 series, which was the main series made for popular music. the next being the 9000 series, having music for children.
Clarion also had the 11000 series (double track, with two songs on one side, similar to Puzzle Records), and the 11500 series, which was made for records with a longer runtime than usual (four to five minutes instead of the normal two to three minutes that was common for most 10' records of the time).[2]
other Columbia Dimestore Labels made these kind of extended play records as well.
