Mike And Lal Waterson - Bright Phoebus		A belated note on label colours, based on more time researching than I should have spent and ownership of at least one copy of all of the releases:

1. Early Trailer and Leader releases had white labels with black lettering or buff labels with black lettering (pretty sure white came before buff).

2. Trailer labels (including represses) then went through a sequence of dark red with silver lettering, red with black lettering and yellow with black lettering. Yellow was definitely last, as I can only find the last 15 or so releases in the Trailer catalogue with yellow labels.

3. Leader labels (including represses) similarly went through a sequence of dark blue with silver lettering, cyan / aqua with black lettering and orange with black lettering.

4. These sequences are not wholly reliable and there were clearly aberrations, e.g. I have a Trailer release with a cyan label and Leader releases with yellow labels. I also have one Leader release with a seemingly unique light blue (not cyan) label.

5. All of this ignores later Trailer Highway pressings with the black and white picture labels, as shown on this thread along with the Yellow Trailer label.

The latest Trailer release in the catalogue I have found with a dark red / silver lettering label is LER 2074. Based on that, I suspect the first Bright Phoebus would have had red with black lettering labels (I have one of these) and that yellow with black would have come next, with the later Trailer Highway pressings last.
