I like this secondary Gordy Records label design better. And as much as I prefer the purple & yellow of the primary design, this maroon & yellow is probably more 70s. Gordy, of course, is Berry Gordy and this is one of the 4 labels of Motown. Stars like The Temptations, Edwin Star and Martha and the Vandellas would release on both the Gordy and the Motown label. You know, I like this label even more than when I started writing this #gordyrecords #motownrecords #vinylcollection
