Capitol Albums, 701 to 800 and Label 56

In June 1956, Capitol introduced Label 56. Prior to this time there had been a band running around most of the label that was designed to fit into the pressing ring. Capitol had stopped using album presses having a pressing ring in that location, and so the band had become decorative. The band was removed from the label, leaving only the words "Long Playing." The colors – turquoise, gray, and red – remained the same. The writing around the rim of the label is in a different typeface than before but still reads "Manufactured by Capitol Records, Inc. Hollywood, California USA."
