Island Records discography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Given the longevity of the Island Records record label it is inevitable that a large amount of data has to be gathered, managed and presented not only correctly but also usably. To this end, the label's history (and this discography) can conveniently be divided into three phases:
- The Jamaican Years, covering the label's releases from 1959 to 1966 - this year, in the UK at least, is considered a turning point in popular music, providing Good Vibrations and Revolver. Popular music had changed, and Island Records changed with it.
- The New Ground Years, covering 1967 to approximately 1980. 1967 brought Sergeant Pepper and A Whiter Shade of Pale, followed by an explosion of diversity in popular music. Pop songs were no longer "moon in June", radio stations were no longer limited by the "two-minute barrier" and influential DJ's, particularly John Peel, were providing exposure to experimental, even dangerous, music. The cut-off of "approximately 1980" is used here because in an increasingly fluid cultural milieu, Island records seemed always to be, if not ahead of the game, at least in possession of the ball.
- The Consolidation Years, covering 1980 onwards. That's not to say that Island had lost the plot, but it might fairly be said that but for U2 and the nostalgia market, they could have slipped from public notice. In 1989, Chris Blackwell sold Island Records to Polygram, which resulted in a remarketing of the Island back catalogue on compact disc under the Island Masters brand. This was a shrewd move, since by then, the purchasers of those original vinyl albums had become both nostalgic and affluent.

[edit] UK releases 1960s
After the company's start in London in 1962 Island Records diversified already in 1963 into various labels: Black Swan, Island, Sue and Jump Up.
[edit] Singles of the 1960s
Island started with its white and red label, mainly to release Jamaican productions and released soon on another three labels, Sue for black American music with catalogue numbers starting at 300, Black Swan for more Jamaican music starting with 400, and Jump Up, for Calypso and Trinidadean music, starting with 500 and but using another prefix: JU. Alladin started ca. 1965 and used numbers starting with 600, while using the WI prefix.
[edit] Island (white + red label)
Island singles have been released with prefix WI and numbers starting with 001. The "white+red label" was the Island label itself; for the first 100 releases it had a round "Flaming sun" logo on a white label, then and for reprints of the early issues the label used a red strip like a "bow tie". The labels have the Rutland Gate Mews address on all first pressings up until about number 14; this was followed by the London England address which goes up to at least # 47, then came Cambridge Road.

[edit] Sue
The Sue label, initiated in 1963, was a subsidiary to release black US-American music. The releases followed the catalogue numbers of Island's singles starting at number 300. The first 17 releases of the British Sue label were in fact related to Henry 'Juggy' Murray's New York based Sue label. Some earlier issues from the black owned independent American label established in 1957 were released on the London American label. The original Island agreement with the American company ended in disagreement and all (U.S.) Sue records were deleted from their catalogue in July 1965, and American Sue issues returned to the London American label. Island records retained the use of the name Sue until the final release in 1968. (Johnny Spencer)

For LPs the label has chosen the prefix ILP (means: Island Long Player) with a number of three figures beginning with 900, later supplemented by ILPS (means: Island Long Player Stereo) to distinguish between Mono and Stereo records. Some records have been issued in both forms. For those records in stereo, the catalogue number had been changed by adding a fourth figure (e.g.: ILP 970 became ILPS 9070).

This was very quickly replaced by the third pink label, featuring a small white letter i logo. Due to variations in catalogue number assignation and the actual release dates of the records, there is a small cross-over period between the three pink label designs.The original label designs for the following LPs are detailed in parentheses.

[edit] Island ILPS series (1979 - 1991)
During this period Island regained some more important artists on its roster and continued to release 20 to 50 albums a year. The catalogue numbers don't follow the release dates as the numbers were given to projects scheduled for release. Usually the "Day & Night" label was in use for albums. Some new labels entered the Island distribution and were given Island catalogue numbers received for UK release while retaining their original labels (e.g. ZE, Celluloid).

[edit] Island Masters
The series that started in the late 1980s continued in the first half of the 1990s releasing more material from Islands back catalogue.
The discography can be found under Island Masters.
[edit] Reggae Refreshers
This series started with 26 releases in 1990. Island used the new label to re-issue a part of its reggae catalogue. Confusing was that some of the titles were also released within the Island Masters series or deleted shortly after the release to be re-released otherwise (the Bob Marley and The Wailers catalogue). More titles had been reissued in 1995, while the parent label changed at least for the European releases from Island to Mango. The UK prefixes were RRCD for CD releases and RRCT for cassettes. Numbers started with 1. Two compilations (numbered 101 and 102 respectively) were released to accompany the series.
