On this medium-blue background, BLUE is printed vertically in white, in 5/16 inch letters. The horizontal bottom one-sixth of the label is in medium blue. On this medium-blue background, NOTE is printed horizontally in white, in 5/16 inch letters. All other printing is blue. Often the printing of the artist name and selections is a slightly darker hue than the medium blue background. The record prefix is BLP, probably meaning Blue Note LP. 33 1/3 MICROGROOVE LONG PLAYING is printed at the label edge, following the label's curve from 11 o'clock to 4 o'clock. BLUE NOTE RECORDS 767 LEXINGTON AVE NYC is printed 3/4 inch from the label edge, following the label's curve from 10:30 to 3:00.

Recordings on this label are monaural only.
