I knew that was coming from one of the old-heads.

I should have annotated that one - it's the "Vertigo swirl".

It looks good spinning around on a turntable.

Another "swirl" one that looks good while playing is this one off Mark Stewart's "as The Veneer of Democracy Starts to Fade"

 

[IdleRich]

The Vertigo swirl is maybe the most iconic label pic isn't it? What else can compete?

 

[Murphy]

Don’t know about swirly but iconic

the B-side to Wiseblood - Motorslug

label looks good while spinning, but I never play it because it's a rubbish filler track

The only disco LP my mum owned was Nightflight To Venus - the first 11 minutes is one of the greatest openings to any album ever. I only had Kings Of The Wild Frontier to compare it to, but the electric drums on this are incredible - they hit you right in the gut, on vinyl, and I still love the whole 'ignition' bit and how it segues into Rasputin. No idea why this never made the CBS Top 100, Frank Farian was a genius (shame the rest of the album's a turkey).

An integral part of the experience was watching Boney M spin around in space at 33.3, illuminated by the red turntable light.



(After my dad died, my mum announced she was throwing all their vinyl out, so I went to Luton to bag all the Clancy Brothers/Wolfe Tones/Irish rebel records, but completely overlooked this one. Can probably find it in a charity shop for £50).
