There's a sequence onboard the ship where the words to "Asleep in the Deep" 
come on screen, and a record label appears.  It seems like it's a batwing. 
Not sure if the Victor logo is there or not.  Also, I think the catalog 
number is even visible.  Anyone else remember that?

That shows a Canadian label? No, I'm thinking of two more recent occurrences
(within the last 30 years).
