VERTIGO LABEL Vertigo Label 1969 - 1980 (Amazing 2009 Russian limited edition 352-page A4 sized book by Yuri Grishin, a labour of love that details everything there is to know about Vertigo including label & sleeve variants, logos, Matrices & even non-UK presses.

Tracklisting: This, the fourth volume in the 'The Famous British Collectable Record Labels' series deals with one of the most sought-after record labels - Vertigo. The first collectors choices, of course, are the records with a so-called "swirl" label design. Unfortunately, LPs with this label design are few in number, therefore highly desirable in the marketplace. For this book, the research has been extended to detail & review not only British releases, but also Vertigo LPs from all around the world. This book also features contributions from Record Collector's Barry Winton, a famous record collector from Great Britain. This man, who is well known for his numerous Record Collector articles, has provided information and material which both record collectors and historians will find useful. Bill Allerton, the owner of the Stand Out record store in London also mediated in correspondence with Barry. The book also contains interviews with Denis Blackham, Barry Winton and Eugene Grishin. The latter two are often referred to as "Vertigo men". An amazing & comprehensive work that is every bit the equal of the preceding three!

  • You can bring you records to us, we can collect them, or you can send them to us. Our service is always fast, friendly and professional. You don't need to be the expert as we do all the difficult stuff.
  • Selling to us is easier than selling it yourself – If you have a collection of 30 records, that would be 30 different listings on Ebay, lots of questions to deal with, 20 different parcels to package (as at least 10 won't sell), dealing with items missing or damaged in the post and possible fraud. So often a daunting and time consuming task, it's much better to leave all that to us.
  • So if you want the best deal for your records, CDs or memorabilia, just call or email us today.
