One of the CBS family of labels. Caribou singles shared a common numerical series with those of the other labels in the CBS group, though it had its own CRB prefix until the early '80s. The company's main claim to fame is that it was home to the Beach Boys in the late '70s and on past the mid '80s; that band gave it three more hits to add to its one previous success - O.C. Smith's, 'Together' (CRB-4910; 1977). The second scan is of an EMI contract pressing, recognizable by the narrowness of the dinking perforations - CBS's perforations were wider than this. The discography below only covers the 1970s.
