The diameter of this paper label is about 1 cm smaller than the average label. I had never seen that before! Another Monty Python Record I cropped the images to the size of a normal label to show the difference with a normal size label, leaving a black vinyl ring (which is not according to the Image Guidelines). I also asked not to edit these images. But my moderator made these images editable……… My questions are: 1: Does anyone know if there are more records with these small labels or is this another silly Monty Python thingy? 2: If a label has a different size, shouldn’t we make this visible (like I tried to do)? The use of smaller labels - 3.625" in diameter, essentially 45 RPM labels used for LP's - were generally attributable to one plant - Sonic Recording Products of Holbrook, NY. I've seen a few pressings with such small labels and 45 RPM label design, namely a few of Dick Clark's 20 Years Of Rock 'N Roll compilation, although the entry as currently constituted does not have them up yet. I presume that the label sheets used by Sonic had the 45 labels spaced center-to-center identical to how LP labels were spaced on such sheets (namely, 4.25" center-to-center)
