Oct. 15, 2011 : A Fistful of Colors

One of the exciting things about collecting Target CDs is the fact that the various WEA labels on which Target CDs were released, all used a different color scheme.

The overview below lists all record labels that have released West German Target CDs together with the adopted color scheme. Sometimes, by accident or intentionally, a record label used an alternative color scheme. These alternative schemes fall outside the scope of this overview.

WEA labels with their adopted color scheme


Here are a few examples of some of the Target CDs I recently acquired to illustrate this wide variety of colors.

Asylum (new logo) : blue / yellow / black

Atlantic : red / green / silver

Elektra (old logo) : silver / red / silver

Solar : silver / purple / black

WB : red / gray / black
