Abner Album Discography
The Abner label was
obviously named for Ewart Abner, then the head of Vee-Jay, although the
Brackens owned the label. There are two Abner labels; chronological order is not known. One is black
with silver printing, "Abner" above and slightly to the right of the center hole. To the left of "Abner" is a
hunting falcon on a glove. The other label is red with silver printing, graphics are identical to the black
label. All three of the Abner albums were also eventually reissued with the standard Vee-Jay label with
the Abner numbers in an Abner jacket. The Dee Clark albums were both issued in stereo, while the Jerry
Butler issue was apparently in mono only.
