Of the 40+ Trailer LPs I've got, the latest red label is from 1975, with everything after that being yellow. However, I have several yellow labels pre-dating 1975, with the earliest going back to 1970. Unfortunately, all my copies were bought second hand, so I've no way of putting a date to when they were bought originally. My feeling is therefore that red came first, changing to yellow around 1975, with the white LER 2009 label being a "one off". It's also worth noting that some of the few Trailer label scans on here so far are actually Highway releases from the 1980s, but have been added to listings for the 1970s originals. Personally, I consider each of these to be two different releases, since they are effectively two different record labels, despite using the same catalogue numbers (see LER 2027, LER 3015 and LER 2091). The original Trailer catalogue was sold/licensed to Transatlantic in about 1977.
