I've seen a few different ideas from collectors as to how to identify this label. I've seen Western Extended Play, as well as just Extended Play... I'm not sure just "Western" is the correct label identification. I've seen labels by this company with "Popular", "Hilltop", "Christmas Songs", etc. instead of "Western", and some that don't identify the location or "Record-O-Mail". I'll be listing some with "Popular" in the heading. Not sure how to identify the label. Any ideas?

It's looking ok for now, and I see the label has already been edited: HB-2203
Maybe "Western", "Popular", "Hilltop", "Christmas Songs" were 'series' of the one label, presumably Record-O-Mail
We can edit the details once we have a few more examples: one useful criterion for separating sub-divisions of labels is whether they use different cat.no. series
Here's how the moderators at 45cat have chosen to list this specific label, though there's disagreement there as well (see discussion thread). Western Extended Play at 45cat

I see that the Rock-N-Roll 45 series has its own number series.
I agree the overall label is Extended Play, and I would make any series with identifying numbers to be sub-labels of Extended Play
