[78-L] shtunked-up labels, was Re: Liberty Music Shop L-231

[richmarkow at aol.com]

 White paint/print was not necessarily exclusively on Brunswick. I have a vertical-cut demo "OkeH SOUVENIR RECORD" with very neat white print surrounding the label on each side. "SOLD BY W.W. KIMBALL CO., 808 SO WABASH AVE., CHICAGO, PHONE HARRISON 4012" The remaining curcumference is taken up by 5-pointed stars. It may depend upon a local dealer or the custom in a local market. Does anyone have access to a trade publication which may include ads or notices from someone providing this service or selling a device whereby a dealer could do it?

This one record dealer in an antique co-op (Pasadena TX) puts 
stickers on every record often covering part of the label or ending 
grooves. I got tired of using Goo Gone to get the labels off so I 
quit buying from that dealer......
