Red Mercury/Phonogram Variations

Circa 1973, Mercury's label got “Phonogram Inc.” printed on it. The overall design looks similar to Red Mercury type C.




Red Mercury/Phonogram A Red Mercury/Phonogram B
[Red Mercury/Phonogram A] [Red Mercury/Phonogram B]
Around the release of SRM series, the label design had been changed again. Similar to Red Mercury C, but look at the "(p) Phonogram Inc" and "MANUFACTURED AND DISTRIBUTED BY MERCURY RECORD PRODUCTIONS INC.". This Red Mercury/Phonogram label, other than the number of oval logos (from 12 to 7), has "MANUFACTURED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PHONOGRAM INC." at the bottom, as well as Phillips, Mercury, Vertigo logos.
