Though 78 rpm records are a rare sighting these days, they do still occasionally show up in my world. The records themselves are usually trashed, having been stored with no sleeve for several decades, but the labels still provide a great deal of design and type inspiration with their classic and creative style.

If you dig this sort of thing, be sure to check out Ted Staunton’s website. He has collected, catalogued and displayed thousands of 78 labels. You’ll be amazed at the depth and quality of his collection.

Here are a few that floated across the counter recently.
