What is the difference in a 2 eye and 6 eye record


Was there any difference in quality of the pressings?

The "eyes" on the labels are actually microphones, but it looks kind of like an eye, hence the nickname. "Six-Eye" just has more of a ring to it than "Six-Mic" I guess. Eventually, CBS actually started using an eye as its logo instead for broadcasting - but the origin was still the rather abstract microphone logo.

Hi to Rloggie, from Chip up in San Francisco, too.
History of the Columbia label can be found here:

The new Jacob Dylan album called "Seeing Things" has been issued by Columbia with a 6 eye label! Got a pretty good sound too, not to compare it to a 50's 6 eye. It is nice to look at though!
