 | | Through the first part of the 1960s, records had been released mostly by the major labels, like EMI, Phillips and Decca, the three giants of the business, long-established and stodgy. |
 | | However, as music changed during the decade, especially with the rise of "progressive music" after 1967 and the success of young Island Records in the field, the majors knew they had to respond with progressive arms of their own. |
 | | Vertigo Records, Phillips' entry in the progressive stakes, debuted in 1969, famous for its hypnotic psychedelic swirl logo. |
