Adge Cutler and the Columbia Record Label

Background Of The Columbia Label

In 1962 the long standing green Columbia label was changed to a silver and blue label. In 1969-70, it changed again, this time to a black and silver design with the EMI logo in a box at the bottom of the label. This stayed until the new EMI record label was formed in 1972, with the EMI boxed logo now appearing in a box at the top of the label.

Adge's Releases on Columbia

Adge Cutler & The Wurzels' first three LP album releases were in mono only, on the black and blue label, namely:

• SX6126 - Adge Cutler and The Wurzels (1967)
• SX6165 - Adge Cutler's Family Album (1967)
• SX6263 - Cutler of the West (1968)

The bands’ Scrumpy & Western EP (SEG8525) was also released on this label, hot on the heels of the chart success of the band's first single.

Adge Cutler & The Wurzels' fourth album was released in both forms at the same time (mono and stereo) on the newly introduced black and silver label, with different catalogue numbers.

• SX6367 - Carry On Cutler! (1969) mono version
• SCX6367 - Carry On Cutler! (1969) stereo version

Between 1972 and 1974 Adge Cutler & The Wurzels' first three albums were re-released in pseudo ‘stereo’ format on the latest EMI black and silver label, each with a new catalogue number. We have no exact release dates for these 'upgraded' releases.

• SCX6126 - Adge Cutler and The Wurzels
• SCX6165 - Adge Cutler's Family Album
• SCX6263 - Cutler of the West
