Two of the major series of LP recordings were the 1200 and 8000 series, started by Nesuhi Ertegun. The 1200 series was reserved for jazz albums. The 8000 and subsequent series, started shortly after the 1200 in 1956, featured Atlantic's R&B and pop albums; when the 1200 series was discontinued in the 1970s, the jazz albums were mixed with the R&B and pop albums in their respective series.
