Thanks.  I expected that it was; but never having heard "Love Child"  I 
couldn't be sure.

I was describing  the label from memory and I wasn't exactly correct.  
Sure, there's no name or logo of the manufacturer, and there is no 
performer listed, but beside the words "OFFSPRING DELUXE" there is the 
number "10" (on the flip side there is
"10A") and the message "Not for Public Reproduction".

I had to get it out to check for numbers in the run out.  On the side 
that has Offspring Deluxe there is the following number in the run out: 
502A.  (on the other side with "Strange Canine" the run out includes 508B)

I've posted a scan of the label on my personal webspace if you would 
like to see it, though there's not much to it; and for a short while the 
curious can hear it too, in my (entirely amateur) transcription there as 
well, at
