The numbers and letters in the run-outs are dependent on many things and can include press used , press operator, master # , take number , edit number and so on. Not in notes means that the Disc Label Matrix is often omitted. Those Matrix numbers tend to refer to the main master take used to create the side of the disc. They are useful for cross-linking series of records in album formats ( consecutive and stack ordering ) , when re-issues occur of orchestral music, particulary on different labels and countries ( eg Polydor in Germany and Columbia in UK ) used the same matrix master reference on the label showing common series and origination. Also for later issues and re-issues on acquired labels , eg Regal and Zonophone into Regal-Zonophone. As some lists in the web show gaps on record matrix sequences can be explained by takes recorded in the studio , etc , but not issued at the time, also external sources use the take number to identify artists on the recording not mentioned on the label ( Jazz group line ups , etc )
