Limelight シリーズ

[Limelight Logo A]

EmArcy と並び有名な傍系レーベルです． スーパーバイザーに Quincy Jones を迎えた Limelight レーベルには， Art Blakey, Les McCann, Dizzy Gillespie, Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker から Paul Blay まで数多くの良質な Jazz の録音が残されました．

しかし 1960年代後半になると，Limelight レーベルのラインアップは 大きく変化します (LS-86047 以降)． 民族音楽，実験的な電子音楽，サイケデリック， ヘヴィーなファンクなど，時代の雰囲気を濃厚に反映した音楽が Limelight レーベル後期を飾っています．

Limelight レーベルには，全部で 71枚のアルバム (うち 2枚組が 1枚) がリリースされました．一部のアルバムは後に CD でリイシューされましたが， 未だに入手困難なアルバムも多く，中には超レア盤として名を馳せているものも あります．

レーベルのバリエーション

ジャケットデザインのバリエーション

Limelight レーベルのオリジナルジャケットの殆んどは， Mercury や EmArcy 等のコーティングジャケットとは異なり， 全体にざらついた紙質のものが使われています． また多くのタイトルでは，当時としては珍しく 1枚もの LP でもゲートフォールドカバーになっています．

最初期のタイトルの 1st プレスでは， ジャケット表に Limelight ロゴがあしらわれた銀色のステッカーが貼付されています． 後にステッカーは廃止され，ジャケットに直接ロゴが印刷されるようになります．

[Limelight Silver Sticker]

初期のタイトルでは，背表紙も Mercury のものより凝っており， Limelight のロゴとレタリングが背表紙全面のバックになっています．

また，ゲートフォールドカバーの内側には ライナーノーツのブックレットが貼り付けられています． ブックレットの装幀も凝っているものが多く， 最も有名なものは 「At The Museum Of Modern Art / Milt Jackson」 (LM-82024 / LS-86024) などで見られる立体ブックレットでしょう．
