Starsky, good idea for a thread. But if I'm a little confused. Do you want to know the member's favourite Disco sleeve or do you want them to pick their favourite label sleeve?
As you are referiing to T.K. I think you are pointing at the labels. Right?

I'm going to jump in and assume you mean 12" sleeves
with the label hole in the middle:
Salsoul 12" sleeve version with sky and rainbows
CBS/Epic with kissing lips
Warner Bros-all versions
TK of course....

Okay, then I go for this fine example of neo-classicism:

The original black "Salsoul Disco" was really nice, I always liked it much better than the re-design one with the clouds.:icon_cool:

London Records in the US and Canada did a couple that I find particularly appealing..
I believe this is the one from London Records US. Aside from pix on the 'net, I've never actually come across any of these but I love the theme with the big lights and the colour scheme..
And there's this one from London Records Canada. I don't believe I've seen this on anything other than Canadian 12'' releases. I call it the "coked out disco lady." :icon_razz: Love the decadence and glamour of this one..

Hey Starsky, I got your PM :icon_smile:Originally Written by starsky
Unfortunately, judging from what I've come across, London Canada seemed to use this sleeve:
much more often than the coked out lady lol..
Anyway, overall London seemed to be a pretty big player in the disco market in Canada, so I'm sure there are many others, but so far I have three 12'' with the "coked out lady" sleeve:
Claudja Barry - You Make Me Feel The Fire (1979, Lollipop/London - blue vinyl),
Donald Lautrec - Come and Get Your Love (1980, London) also produced by Claudja Barry's producer, Jurgen Korduletsch..
and finally Eve John - Mutual Physical Attraction (1980, Foreign Exchange/London) which is the one pictured in the above post..
Hope this helps somewhat

After mulling over this topic a bit
I'm going to agree with Mixmachine.
Salsoul got it exactly right & so early in the game .
Rich & modern . . metallic & dark - yet steamy hot ...
To the point and in your face : HEREIN THIS NEW THING CALLED : DISCO .
My second choice would be something quite the opposite :
Pyramid's brief 12" packaging:
Just find its' warm, simple ,organic , line- drawing approach aesthetically pleasing :
And yet it also has an in-your-face look by the super enlargement of their label's design .
- and any unapologetic inclusion of the word :
DISCO always earns extras points .

I've got a t-shirt with that black Salsoul logo on & i wear it alot but nobody ever recognises what it is, probably 'cos they know nothing about disco or record labels.

at the risk of being redundant...
I'll go with "Casablanca Record & FilmWorks" and "Unidisc".
Because, when Casablanca fumbled, Unidisc picked-up the ball & ran with it!

Casablanca for me too!!!!!!!!!!!! An observation re the paper Casablanca themed paper sleeves: The UK one showed all camels. The US had camels on the left, slowly 'metamorphing' into reel cameras!!!
