Jamie Records, best known for the long series of Duane Eddy hits during the late '50s and early
'60s, was founded in Philadelphia in 1956. It's sister label, Guyden, had been in operation since 1954. In
the 1960s, they also branched out with the Arctic, Phil-L.A. of Soul, and Dionn labels. They recorded in
stereo early, with Duane Eddy material from 1958 appearing in true stereo. Unfortunately, most of the
hits weren't mixed for stereo, and they showed up on albums in rechanneled stereo. It took the Bear
Family Duane Eddy CDs and an amazing 2-CD set mixed by Little Walter DeVenne, The
Jamie/Guyden Story [Bear Family BCD 15874-BH, rel. 1995, Germany] for many of the early songs
to appear in stereo. An excellent history of the label is found in the booklet for the latter CD, and on the
Jamie/Guyden
website, which also has a discography of the singles released
by Jamie and all the subsidiaries.
The first Jamie label (far left) was yellow with black print. It was used for the first pressing of album 3000.
The second Jamie label (near left), used as early as 1959, was yellow and white. This label was used
from 1959 to 1966, and appeared on most Jamie albums.
| ||
Promotional issues of the second label (far left) were white with black print, using the same design. The
third Jamie label (naer left), used starting in 1967, was orange with a brown top. Reissues of earlier
albums pressed in 1967 or later also are known to have this label.
