Another Mercury label, this one celebrating their time in Chicago with 3 famous buildings- Marina City, John Hancock Center and One IBM Plaza. Not really a fan of this one. Not really that creative. Perhaps red stars on a blue background if you want to go Chicago. In 1967, Mercury became the first label in the US to distribute their music on cassette. They’re now part of Island Records but still putting out music.

It’s the way this version of the Mercury Records label spins on the turntable that makes me like so much. This is more late 60s/early 70s than the B&W version from the Sarah Vaughn record from a few months back. Unlike the other big labels promoting their records through radio play, Mercury went the cheaper route of promoting through jukeboxes. In this way, the label was able to compete and ultimately establish itself as a real player.
