A lot of labels seems to have these numbers, beginning with LC in a circle followed by a number e.g. 0542. I wonder what these are for - could they be some sort of country code?

It's a company code for performance royalties in Germany. Doesn't necessarily mean a German release though. Many labels from all over Europe put them on releases just in case of German radio play. (The UK label I once worked for certainly did)

Here is something that could be to some help, when deciding what's the label and who's the company.

It can also be good to know, that the LCcodes first was used very late in 1976.
A label or cover with LC on, was made late 1976 or later.
