Vertigo Records on Vinyl

Vertigo is a label founded by Philips, or rather Phonogram, in the UK in 1969 for progressive rock music. It is famous for the black-and-white spiral label (“Swirl”) of its early years, on which the first albums by Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep, among others, were released. From 1973 came Roger Dean's “Spaceship” label, and later Vertigo became the label of bands such as Status Quo and Dire Straits.
