By David Edwards, Mike Callahan, Patrice Eyries, Randy Watts and Tim Neely
Last update: November 22, 2010


The Fantasy 6000/86000 Debut Series was a jazz series that ran from 1962 to 1964, with one additional album added in 1971.


This series used the usual Fantasy labels, with red/maroon for mono (far left) and blue for stereo (near left). Before 1963, the discs were issued originally on red vinyl for mono, and blue vinyl for stereo; starting in 1963, Fantasy went with the conventional black vinyl releases.
