xiphophilos 25th Apr 2024		A side:
xiphophilos 25th Apr 2024		Image {1116116} is the only label with a dotted "i" in the Capitol label name. That also happens to be Capitol's earliest label style, the Label 42: 1942-1944 label with Capitol dome logo extending below the word Capitol, see Label 42 at https://www.friktech.com/btls/capitol/capitollabels.pdf The type face points to a Los Angeles pressing. Images {1132190} and {1132191} are Scranton represses on the 1945-1946 label with Capitol dome logo no longer extending below the word Capitol, see Label 45 at https://www.friktech.com/btls/capitol/capitollabels.pdf
Job Lowe 1st Aug 2016		Four days later, still entering from the same pile of 78s, I came across a duplicate upon which neither side has a dotted "i" in the Capitol logo. Scan uploaded. Possibly they dropped the dot and removed part of the illustration for legibility.
Job Lowe 27th Jul 2016		Sometimes the Capitol logo has no dot over the "i". Capitol vs. Capıtol. The A Side on my copy is "dotless". It seems that Capitol dropped the dot in early 1944, although 45worlds has a few scans showing from 1943 without the dot. I wonder if those 1943 dotless labels represent re-issues.
