Dangle • Large Oblong Quad • Leon Haywood

Each Large Oblong Quad Classic Dangle is hand-cut and hand-filed from a premium Decca rainbow-stripe pressing of Leon Haywood’s soulful track “It’s Got to Be Mellow.” This visually iconic label adds an extra layer of collectible appeal to a single already cherished for its warm, melodic groove. Haywood’s influence stretches far beyond the 60s and 70s—his catalog would later become foundational sampling material for classic West Coast hip-hop. The elongated oblong quad silhouette offers bold geometric movement while staying lightweight and balanced. Perfect for soul enthusiasts, collectors of rare labels, and anyone who loves music history transformed into wearable art.
