Reo was a masterpiece compared to Quality's label (and crappy vinyl). The Compo 
Company did the same thing, as did London, but eventually all began issuing 
indy labels with their proper designs once they'd established themselves as 
solid catalog items. This held well into the sixties..Herb Alpert's first six 
albums (at least!) were on Quality, not A&M.
