About
Australian label and record company; also appears as "Crest" only.
Same as:
Started by after folded in 1961 (Herman he was partner/owner with of Planet). There were 3 labels under the "Crest" banner:
> : This was the main label. This specialized in recording and releasing original Australian artists. Almost all these releases were mastered and recorded by Marcus Herman himself, who also occasionally designed sleeves and provided photography. Typically, catalogue number suffixes were as follows: 7-inch singles by "CRS"; 7-inch EPs by "CRT-7" and 12-inch LPs by "CRT-12".
> : The secondary commercial label, mainly distinguished by having masters sourced outside Australia (hence "International"). These are often denoted with a "CRIN" or "CRINT" or "CRES" suffix, but not always. "CRT" was occasionally used e.g., , even though this was an Australian artist (suggesting it should have been on ).
> : This vehicle was devoted to providing custom pressings (private pressings) for paying clients. These are often denoted with a "CP" suffix for 7-inch products and a variety of others for 12-inch LPs (i.e., "CREST", "SLP").
The numbering system is sometimes confusing and occasionally contradictory (with some duplicated cat numbers for some releases). EP's came in picture sleeves while singles came in generic company paper sleeves.
