Comment by YankeeDisc SUBS:
….better late than never….
Quote: 6702 TPS Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents Pending T 2566 ST 2566
TPS appears regularly at the bottom of LP sleeves, and maybe EP sleeves as well.
It is the acronym for THE PLATING SERVICE, a company that prepared the Lacquers from the master tapes of a release, and then the mothers and stampers used when vinyl was finally being pressed for commercial release.
I found the information a few years back by accident whilst using Discogs….
