No location at all, and quite different from the yellow and green sample Mal 
just sent me. Guess I'll have to get 'er scanned! Mine is gold with the word 
"Brilliant" in black letters in a straight line across the top, and a black 
area starting a half inch above the label with a straight top and an arc 
bottom, containing all the record info. Quite a bit of gold leaf on these 
labels. Matrix numbers 1944 (Glory/Flag) and 1945 (Star Spangled Banner).
