Favorite record labels?

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

I've never thought about a "favorite" record label because it strictly depends on the artists signed by any particular label, not because of the "quality of the service" offered by the label itself.

But I can show my all-time favorite "physical" record labels:





I grew with vinyl records and still love them a lot. I think I'm one of the very few people that have paid some attention to a record label design, and I remember that these two always were extremely attractive to me. I also liked the classic Atlantic and Warner labels a lot, but these two were very, very special for me.
