- О Лейбле:
- Parr's Print & Litho Ltd. was a Canadian printing company founded by Victor Parr and Al Siegel in 1954. It was the first printing plant in the country to specialise in printing record jackets and labels. Victor Parr headed the Mercury Records in-house printing department in Canada until Quality Records Limited took over the brand in Canada in 1954, driving him to establish Parr's Print & Litho. Parr's ceased operations at the end of February, 2000.

Their logo is a capital P underscored by a line under with the Parr's name below it, boxed in a thick black rectangle. On the album covers, the mention "Litho in Canada" was found to the left of the logo. Pre-1962 albums (like the early 6000 series from Capitol) have a different looking Parr's logo and sometimes may only appear as a text credit (P P & L - Litho in Canada).
Capitol Records (Canada) Ltd. used Parr's as a primary printer between the late 50s and 1968.
Sleeves printed by Parr's housed records from the RCA Records Pressing Plant, Smiths Falls, Ontario plant as well as the Decca / The Compo Company Ltd. plant. They also printed for Columbia / Epic (starting in 1956), London Records Of Canada Ltd./London Records Of Canada (1967) Ltd. (London, Pathé, Angel Records etc.) from the late 50s to mid 1969. They were the exclusive printer for GRT Of Canada Ltd. when they launched.
Parr's was known to be the printer of label stock for Quality Records Limited, Keel Record Mfg. Of Canada Limited, Precision Records, RCA Records Pressing Plant, Smiths Falls, Ontario, Columbia Records of Canada, Ltd., and V Records.
Parr's was known to have printed 8-track labels for Capitol Records (Canada) Ltd./Capitol Records-EMI Of Canada Limited, RCA Limited, Quality Records Limited, Ampex Of Canada Ltd. and Boot Records Limited.
Originally located on Yonge Street in Toronto, they opened their Nantucket Blvd. plant in Scarborough in December 1971. Later the company relocated to Markham where it remained until closing in 2000.
