OWNER(s): 1973 +
TIMESPAN:
MISC NOTES:

This double-sided  "oldies hits"  reissue sub label of United Artists Records appeared after the UA takeover of Liberty Records ca. 1970. It replaced  the discontinued  Liberty "All Time Hit Series"

According to Discogs, Silver Spotlight is  a "series"  and not a "label." Herein, however, for cataloging purposes, it is listed separately.

In 1973 the black labeled discs and sleeves appeared featuring the image of a 1957 Chevrolet above the spindle hole. This design format continued  past the mid 1980s when Capital Records took over the Silver Spotlight series. .

Left center of spindle hole is wording "Silver Spotlight Series UA." Right center of spindle hole is artist name and, on most discs, initial release date of title song and highest position it reached on Billboard's top 100.

The Northwest recordings which follow initially appeared on Dolphin, Dolton, Liberty, or United Artists records:

* Although identified as "Walk - Don't Run '64", reportedly this is a misprint as the song on the disc is actually the 1960 original "Walk - Don't Run".
