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, which is confirmed by the style of the matrix numbers in the run-off.  Thanks to Sam Mauger for bringing Swift to my attention.
