Overprints for Retailers can be either complex , very simple or simple , single or double sided. Of course 10" and greater sleeves can be difficult to scan , but here's one where the wording at least is within the sleeve size and scanned in one pass. Interesting if only for the prices.

Its the boast that it takes three days to get in any record not it stock. Barnoldswick remains , due to topography , one of the few places not to have a full range of Digital Terrestrial TV channels ( and never got Channel 5 until Digital Arrived ). Of course in the days of the 78 sleeve, the town was in West Yorkshire.
I have some Mile End / Whitechapel music stores to come when I can stich the scans together.

Thanks.
Linking theme back to records , I can always remember the rather large opaque glass half globes in a metal wire bucket arrangement that I think were the gas lamps in Woolworths ( Tavistock being one store , as well as a couple of Surrey ones ) , and possibly in the Co-op as well (RACS) , both were stores where some of the records in my 45 collection were purchased for me.

Nice link to 1900s.org - it makes me wonder if there's a parallel 'world' out there for social historians and nostalgians to contribute and comment, like we do here in ours
PS re. gas mantles: the first episode of "Up The Women" (BBC4) featured the installation of the household's first electric bulb (and a nice gramophone in the background, but not utilised)
