Vertigo Records

Vertigo Records was the name Philips Records chose in the sixties for its label to counter the underground labels of its rivals EMI (with Harvest Records) and Decca Records (with Deram Records). Some of the first artists to sign included Colosseum_(band) and Black Sabbath. After Philips Records was renamed to Phonogram Records, majors like Status Quo and Thin Lizzy joined Vertigo too.
