The Rolling Stones were originally on London records in the US.
Those labels went through a variety of patterns, the earliest
were white background with a blue bar across the middle.  Then
they went to either a blue or an orange semi-"swirl" pattern,
then to one that had a landscape scene on it.  They went to
their own "Rolling Stones" label (yellow with the tongue & lips)
in 1971.
