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

Metalheadz?

UR have some good ones

This one is a double whammy because the matrix runout code on the B side is:

CAN YOU CRACK THE CODE ? UR-038-B NSC

I suspect there is a bit of a nod to On-U sound with those Burial Mix labels

Idea for a thread "Centrist labels"

Not politically, but musically. Labels who didn't strike out in any particular direction, kept to the middle of the path.

Excruciating.

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).

Also there's one I won't post but it's the Homer Simpson one from Incogdo - Simply Just a Ventage (maybe a repress).

I love this UR one - how much text can you cram on a centre label?

top tunes as well



The Hostile - Fear Our Presence

IN THE SHADOW OF PERCEIVED SUCCESS THERE EXISTS THE HARD LIFE

UR - Hard Life

some random Discogs reviewer sums it up:

Seminal release.The main mix is where it's at imho, a mountain of soul & funk with so much f*ckin attitude, it SLAUGHTERS a decent rig. A MUST HAVE+++/10
