PABLO TODAY
RECORDS
Independent American label: Pablo
Today Records was a branch of Norman Grantz's 'Pablo' label. It
was intended to venture into areas outside mainstream Jazz, such as Jazz
Fusion. It concentrated on albums, many of which appear not to have been
released in Britain. The only single on the label, Paulinho Da Costa's,
'Deja Vu (STEP-3)' came out in September 1979 and was aimed at the Disco market;
it had a matrix number of 2018-005, which makes it a successor to the four
singles which were issued on the Pablo label proper. It was part of
Polydor's short-lived 'Steppin' Out' Disco series, which accounts for the STEP-3
catalogue number and the sleeve: the other singles in the series were on
Polydor. Manufacture and distribution were by Phonodisc in Britain, which
accounts for the dull injection-moulded labels. There was also a 12"
version of the single, which numbered STEPX-3; it had purple-and-white-halved
paper labels with the Pablo logo in white on the purple (top) half. Thanks
