This jazz-oriented label was owned by Creed Taylor and was distributed by several labels. Early issues starting in 1967 were on the A&M label with a small "cti" logo. In 1970, Taylor started his own CTI label. Early issues were in the CTI-1000 series (with a green label), which after a few issues switched to the CTI-6000 series. Albums shown with an S1 after the number in the discography below were distributed by Motown. After Motown stopped distributing the label around 1975-76, later releases were designated as the 7000 series, although the numbering sequence did not change (6062, then 7063, etc.). The label for the 6000/7000 series was orange with black print. A brown vertical line was to the left of the center hole, and a brown horizontal line was just above the center hole. The brown and orange CTI logo was in the lower left quadrant formed by these lines. Above the logo, in the upper left quadrant, was a large number designating the side of the album. Promotional issues used the same style, but used white labels with black print. Later, the 9000 series used a brown label with the logo in the upper left, but without the lines which divided the label into quadrants.
