Description
I found this in my rare record stash. Leon Russell - Shelter Records was a U.S. record label started by Leon Russell and Denny Cordell that operated from 1969 to 1981. This is a rare Master record and is heavy and thicker than an average record in production. It has a chip on edge but not on the surface,- See last pic. I never played it although it looks used but in I guess good or fair condition. I do not know how to grade it or what its worth (No Reserve) but if you are not satisfied you can have 30 days to return the item. No international transactions. Trusted ebayer. Please see my other listings. All I know is its a "Master" Record so it must be rare! NOTE THE "S" STICKER ON LABEL!!! One of the interesting sidelights to this label concerns the original logo, with the inverted "Superman" emblem on an egg. Apparently, D.C. Comics, the owners of the Superman copyright, thought it was a bit too close for their liking, and the resulting settlement caused Shelter to place a black rubber stamped box or bar over that part of the logo, until a new logo and new label blanks could be produced. This started in 1972, and records pressed before that have the superman-egg logo without the bar, while remaining Capitol-distributed labels after mid-1972 had the bar across the logo. was not only a vehicle through which Leon released his own recordings, but also operated as a workshop for developing artists, and became a launching pad for some of hottest young talent in music. Shelter released records by JJ Cale, Etta James, Freddie King, Phoebe Snow, Dwight Twilley, and many others. It also was the first home of two of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Tom Petty and Heartbreakers released their first two albums under the Shelter Records label, and Shelter would also release Bob Marley's first single, "Duppy Conquerer."
