Any Vertigo Swirl collectors here, it's funny i was delving into the vertigo back catalogue, some of it is pretty great while some of it is pretty average, but that label design is the alongside early Island label variations is the most visually appealing.

Unfortunately all ive got is an awful Aphrodite's Child 666 reissue (yes that current reissue from Universal is badly pressed). I've had better luck finding pink scroll Charisma pressings, but the ones i found i passed on (they were VDGG Lp's) and i do own a pre EMI Harvest record (Edgar Broughton bands first LP)

So do you lot own any genuine swirl pressings?

	My best is "More Than A Word" by Freedom. A copy sold last year on eBay for $655 USD. One important thing about swirl label is the swirl inner sleeve. If the album was originally issued with the swirl inner sleeve you have to have it to get top dollar.

	I've wanted to own that Nucleas album, it looks interesting in a Soft Machine-esque way.
