Bang Label Album Discography

Bang Album Discography
By Mike Callahan and David Edwards
Last update: March 3, 2008

The story of Bang Records can be found on the Bang Story page.

The New York Years:

Bang used the same basic label design throughout their New York years, although there were minor variations. The label was red, with a yellow, red, and black derringer logo in the middle of a broad white stripe at the top. Originally, the album number and stereo designation were inside the white stripe at the left of the logo, and the album side designation was to the right of the logo. This was soon changed, and the album number and side were lowered to be within the red part beneath the white stripe, flanking the center hole. Later, some of the early label blanks were used and there was "BANG" in the white stripe without an album number. The stereo designation appeared under the album number or album side, which, depending on the album, could be either on the right or the left of the center hole. At the bottom of the label, it said, "Div. of Web IV Music, Inc., 1650 Broadway, New York, N.Y." We know of no promotional labels for this design.

Canadian issues of the early Bang albums used a yellow label, like the label used for singles. In the UK, Bang albums were issued on the London label.

The Atlanta Years:

The design for the Atlanta years used a sky and clouds background with ornate letters "BANG" curving around the top of the label. Except for album 400, at the bottom of the label, it said, "Div. of Web IV Music, Inc., 2107 Faulkner Rd., N.E., Atlanta, Ga." Promotional labels were the same, but said "PROMOTIONAL COPY" and "NOT FOR SALE" under the side designation and record number, respectively. The album numbers also had a "-DJ-" inserted between the prefix and album number (i.e., BLP-405 became BLP-DJ-405).

The CBS Years:

In the late 1970s, Bang was distributed by CBS, until in the early 1980s, Bang was sold outright to Columbia Special Products. The Bang/CBS label was a tan color with black print, with a red triangular Bang logo at the top. Around the bottom of the label it said, "DISTRIBUTED BY CBS RECORDS/CBS INC./51 W. 52 STREET, NEW YORK CITY". Promotional labels used the same design, but were white with black print.

BLP-218/BLPS-218 - Blowin' Your Mind - Van Morrison (10-67; #182) Original mono issues have the edited version of "Brown Eyed Girl," where the lyric is changed to "laughin' and a-runnin' behind the stadium" instead of "makin' love in the green grass behind the stadium." This was done by editing a line from earlier in the song and repeating it over the "offending" lyrics. The mix of the mono version is substantially different from the stereo version; the stereo version is thinner sounding with the instruments mixed back; it also seems to be missing a vocal overdub at the end where the fadeout mix is very different. In fact, the entire mono album is a different mix, with much more prominent bass. Original pressings of this album have a misprint on the back cover slick, where the LP number is given as "BLB 218," which was corrected to "BLP 218" on later issues. Brown Eyed Girl (S)/He Ain't Give You None (S)/T.B. Sheets (S)//Spanish Rose (S)/Goodbye Baby (Baby Goodbye) (S)/ Ro Ro Rosey (S)/Who Drove The Red Sports Car (S)/Midnight Special (S)
