The Charisma Pink Scroll Label was the first label design used on LPs released by Charisma Records. In the UK, they were used from Charisma's inception in 1969 until mid-1972. In the United States, the pink scroll labels first appeared in 1971 on albums distributed by Buddah Records. These labels were used until late 1973. Because Charisma had many bands who were relative unknowns when they were signed, many original pressings of early albums from Charisma bands like Genesis and Van der Graaf Generator with pink scroll labels have become quite rare and sought after by collectors.
