The '''Charisma Pink Scroll Label''' was the first label design used on [[Gramophone record|LP]]s released by [[Charisma Records]]. In the [[United Kingdom|UK]], they were used from Charisma's inception in [[1969 in music|1969]] until mid-[[1972]], with the release of [[Lindisfarne (band)|Lindisfarne]]'s [[Dingly Dell]] LP (CAS 1057). This was replaced by the large mad hatter label, designed by [[Paul Whitehead]] of [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]] sleeve design fame. In the [[United States]], the pink scroll labels were used in late 1973 and early 1974 on releases distributed by [[Buddah Records]]. Releases distributed by [[Atlantic Records]] used the small [[Charisma Mad Hatter Label|mad hatter]] label. Because [[Charisma Records|Charisma]] had many bands who were relative unknowns when they were signed, many original pressings of early UK issues of albums from [[Charisma Records|Charisma]] bands like [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]], [[Audience (band)|Audience]] [http://audienceareback.com] and [[Van der Graaf Generator]] with pink scroll labels have become quite rare and sought after by collectors. Please also note that the first pressings of these albums were also on a far superior quality of vinyl. Distributed by B&C Records. |

Some people considered the heavy, thick vinyl pressings superior to those Phonogram reissued after taking over Charisma at the beginning of 1976 (with the release of Genesis' ''[[A Trick of the Tail]]'' LP), but in truth, some of those "heavy, thick vinyl" had lots of surface noise. When Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway was first issued, it was heavily imported into the US and there were quite a number of defective pressings. |
