SWIFT



Either a small independent or a DIY label.  Swift seems to have managed just one release: an EP by Stix 'n' Strings, featuring versions of 'Whiter Shade Of Pale', 'Albatross', 'The Boxer' and 'Nights In White Satin'.  The catalogue number of the EP was SWIFT-1, and it came out in 1978.  The 'smooth outer, rough inner' look of the labels' surfaces suggests an Orlake pressing.  For some reason the three copies currently (September 2019) on Discogs are all priced at £60 upwards, but nobody seems to be buying at those prices.  Thanks to Sam Mauger for bringing Swift to my attention, and to Nicholas Hough for supplying the scan.
