Recorded in England

This label was used from the introduction of the Red Seal LP in 1950 through the latter part of 1954. The background color of the label is maroon. The Dog-Gramophone Logo is an outline. The record number prefix is generally LM, which stands for Long Play Microgroove. Early stampings of this label are on a heavy, fairly rigid platter without the raised lead-in groove and label, and the label's later stampings are on a lighter, more flexible platter with the raised label and lead-in groove. Recordings on this label are monaural only. (http://ronpenndorf.com/labelography4.html)
