End Label Album Discography
By David Edwards and Mike Callahan
Last update: July 28, 2019





The Chantels, 1957: (L to R): Rene Minus, Sonia Goring,
Arlene Smith, Lois Harris, Jackie Landry Like the Gone label, End was another of George Goldner's labels named for beatnik slang ("It's just the end, man!"). Many of the albums issued on the End label were various artists compilations that included artists such as the Dubs, the Isley Brothers, the Gone All-Stars, and JoAnn Campbell from the sister Gone label. The JoAnn Campbell album [LP-306], was an oddity because she released all of her Goldner singles on Gone and nary a one on End, but the album came out on the End label nonetheless. The reason for the Gone pop/rock artists showing up on End albums (at least until the 1961 Ral Donner album), was that Gone albums were reserved for exclusively jazz releases.

End had three major artists. The first of these was the Chantels, five young girls from New York City : Arlene Smith, Sonia Goring, Rene Minus, Lois Harris, and Jackie Landry. They had met Richard Barrett of the Valentines, who worked for George Goldner, and he became their manager, persuading Goldner to record them. Their first record, "He's Gone"/"The Plea" [End 1001], was recorded in July, 1957 and released the next month. "He's Gone" managed a respectable #71 nationally. Their next single, "Maybe" [End 1005], recorded on October 16 and released in December, 1957, went to #15 and became a classic. Their followup, "Every Night" [End 1015], released in February, 1958, reached #39, and the next single, "I Love You So" [End 1020], reached #42 after its release in May. After that, chart success escaped them on End. By 1961, they left End and signed with another New York label, Carlton, where they had several more chart hits.

Little Anthony and the Imperials, 1958 Anthony Gourdine, Ernest Wright, Tracy Lord, Glouster Rogers and Clarence Collins were collectively known as the Chesters, then the Imperials, then soon after as Little Anthony and the Imperials. Gourdine had recorded with the Duponts for the Winley label as early as 1955, and in 1957 formed the Chesters. They recorded one single for the Apollo label [Apollo 521] in 1957, then recorded "Glory of Love," released in 1958, for Liberty [56119]. The Chesters signed with Goldner's End label in 1958, and their first single was released in early summer, 1958, on End 1027, with "Tears on My Pillow" backed with "Two People In The World." Just about the time the single was released, the group changed their name to the Imperials, and when the single had gone part way up the charts to its eventual #4 position, changed their name to Little Anthony & the Imperials. The group scored five more chart records before 1961, including the top-30 "Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop" [End 1060] in early 1960.

The third hit act for End was the Flamingos, who had recorded for the legendary Chance record label in their hometown of Chicago as early as 1953. After Chance folded, they signed with Checker in Chicago and had two R&B charters in 1956, "I'll Be Home" [Checker 830, #5] and "A Kiss from Your Lips" [Checker 837, #12]. They signed with Goldner's End label in 1958, and their first release late that year was "Lovers Never Say Goodbye" [End 1035], which reached #25 on the R&B charts and #52 pop in early 1959. Their next release, "Love Walked In"/"At the Prom" [End 1044] flopped completely, but the third release, "I Only Have Eyes for You" [End 1046] zipped up to #3 on the R&B charts and #11 pop. "Love Walked In" was reissued as the followup [End 1055], but it only reached #88 pop. Six more singles reached the pop charts for End, including the Spring, 1960, top-30 single "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do" [End 1068].

The End label remained basically the same from the inception of the company into the late 60's. The label was gray with a red lower case "end" at the top on the left side of "end" is the front half of a dachshund dog and on the right side is the back half of the same dog. We call this the grey "dog" label. First pressings of albums before 1961 did not have a notation at the bottom of the label (far left). In 1961,"A Product of End Music, Inc. New York N.Y." was added to the bottom of the label (near left).
When George Goldner sold End to Roulette in 1962, the notation on the bottom of the label changed to "A Division of Roulette Records, Inc." (far left). The label itself also changed to a very light blue rather than a grey color, although the design graphics remained the same (the blue "dog" label). Albums that came out before 1962 that have a blue "dog" label with the Roulette notation at the bottom are reissues by Roulette, pressed 1962 or later. Roulette also later reissued some of the End albums on the Roulette label itself, such as shown at near left.
In the late 1970s, Roulette again reissued several of the End albums, mostly in rechanneled stereo and marked as such on the covers. The label was a completely revised design (far left), with a medium blue background and a wide horizontal orange bar across the middle of the label (the orange "bar" label). "END" was written in blue on either end of the bar. Although most of the 1970s reissue labels were as shown at the far left, some were known with a much lighter shade blue (near left).


Most of the End albums were originally issued in mono only, but several of the Flamingos records were also issued in stereo. These were later issued on CD by Collectables.

The End logo on almost all of the original releases had a lower case "end" between the two halves of the dog. Beneath "end" were the words "HIGH FIDELITY." The LP number on these was outside the logo itself. For a short time in 1959, End also used a special "Super High Fidelity" logo under the End logo. This "Super High Fidelity" logo did not appear on their first three issues, that is, the original covers of LP- 301 and LP-302, nor on LP-303. About the time LP-304 was issued, End revised the covers from LP-301 and LP-302, and the second covers of both of these also had the "Super High Fidelity" logo. After these three albums (LP-304 and revised covers of LP-301 and LP-302), it was dropped, as it did not appear on LP-305 or later. 1970s reissues (at right, above) deleted the "HIGH FIDELITY" inside the logo box and replaced it with the LP number, usually adding a rechanneled stereo disclaimer below the logo. (The original cover of LP-302 also had the LP number inside the logo box without the words "HIGH FIDELITY" - see cover below)
