I picked some records up on the cheap to see what informational content was on their stickers. Generally There is the following information:
- Artist name
- Record label name
- Release number (e.g) CPULT001
- who it was distributed by
- Rotations per minute
- Producers of the track(s)
- A side/ B side information (track names on which side)
- Date of release
- " All rights of the manufacturer/ artist and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Unauthorised copying, public performance and broadcasting of this record prohibited."
These same pieces of information apply to 7 Inch records (whose sticker is pretty much the same size.)
With CD's, this obviously differs, because the target market/ audience do not need to know how many rotations a disk does a minute, etc and often the disc will say on it; "see booklet for further information" Which does free up alot of space on the disc itsself.
This is Braintax's album: Panorama, in which there is a full bleed image, and the only information on the disc is;
- Artist name
- Album name
- Record label & date of release
- Contact details
- "All Damn rights reserved as per usual"
- Labels release number (LOW46CD)
12" & 7" Records.
- Artist name/ identity
- Record label
- Release date
- Release number (ALS01)
- Contact details
- Web adress
- A/B side information & RPM
- Copyright information
- Artist name
- Tracks on the disc (numbered)
- Copyright information
- Release number, for discs this would be (ALS01CD)
- "See inlay for more details" - these details would be - contact details, website adress track information in more depth - e.g producers, who mastered the track who mixed down the track the year, who wrote it etc.
