I recently acquired a large collection of Monty Python records which I started uploading on this site. And, as these are Monty Python records, nothing seems normal.
- An old classical record sleeve is scratched out and reused ;
- record labels do not have the track listings but absurd stories;
- An enormous amount of different label variations;
- all kind of gadgets tucked away like double grooved, locked groove, a free flexi disc, inserts “to become a great actor”, a sleeve which can be folded out into a box, insert sleeves with fake records, etc. More silliness than in a Jack White album.

It’s a lot of fun going through all this.

But here’s my thing. There is also a Charisma Mad Hatter record label which is smaller than normal. 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)?
