*10 inch 78 rpm* Since this ain't no museum, my aim is not to depict actually existing specimen of 78 rpm records, but to show the labels as pristine as workmanlike possible even if this - in some cases - takes a whole lot of my time to photoshop process the initial data

Spottswood Flyright 101 "presented by Robin L. Gosden, Simon A. Napier and Bruce Bastin" In case anybody wonders why the 1978 edition of the Flyright LP has "℗ 1973" on its labels: The "need for putting '℗ 1973' on the label comes about because of the passage of the amending 1978 US copyright act" (Bob Eagle): § 303. Duration of copyright: Works created but not published or copyrighted before January 1, 1978 (a) Copyright in a work created before January 1, 1978, but not theretofore in the public domain or copyrighted, subsists from January 1, 1978, and endures for the term provided by section 302.
