I forgot to add you can tell when the record was made from the box if you are
fortunate to have the original one. As most people know some records started
out as brown and can be found in all record variations if they remained in the
catalog long enough.
The early ones with no titles do have the catalog number on the side above the
grooves, it is so faint I did not realize this for many years.
