Viscount

Viscount: 1962 

Viscount started as an independent label by Gary Daverne in 1962. These early singles were probably released in a plain white or Wall Paper sleeve.

In 1963 Viscount partnered with Zodiac Records and Zodiac-Viscount was born. Singles were issued in the Zodiac company sleeve.

Viscount: 1966 to 1968

In 1966 the label name was shorted back to Viscount. I believe they were still issued in the Zodiac sleeve.

Viscount stopped releasing vinyl singles in 1968.
