History
Calendar was Festival Records' budget label. It operated in the same manner as EMI's Axis label, releasing LPs of "MOR" music sourced locally or from overseas labels, and as a lower-cost resissue label for Festival's in-house pop-rock catalogue and that of affiliate labels such as Linda Lee, Leedon, Spin and Sunshine. No artists recorded directly for Calendar.
Most issues featured original artwork; the only significant differences on Calndar reissues were a removable orange "Calendar" or "Calendar Hits" sticker on the LP cover, and the substitution of the original labels for ones the Calendar logo.
It appears that Calendar released only LPs. So far we have only identified around 70 album releases, almost all sourced from existing pop-rock discographies, but the label undoubtedly issued many other titles that fall outside the general pop-rock genre.
