The Viva label was distributed by Warner Brothers from 1971 until the end of the label. Initially it was
distributed by Dot. Viva was a Snuff Garrett label. It was the label of the Midnight String Quartet and
other pop acts, for the most part. Surprisingly, Viva released a Rolling Stones compilation in the Asian
market, using the same label blank as the US issues.
The Viva label on the Dot-Distributed 6000/36000 series was white with black print, with jagged red
running across the top and jagged green running across the bottom. "VIVA" is in red to the left of the
center hole. "VIVA RECORDS, INC., Hollywood, Calif. * Distributed Nationally by DOT RECORDS, INC."
