About the project:

To quote from the first page of this labelography: "The Mikrokosmos Labelography contains (or will eventually contain) examples of labels from all the important companies which have issued microgroove classical records. These label examples span the entire LP era, from the first monaural disks issued in 1949, to the digital and digitally remastered LPs appearing in the early 1980s."

To continue: The organization of the Mikrokosmos Labelography is on three levels. First by record company, then by prefix or series, and finally by a 3-character code."

This is a project which will take several years to complete.

All labels, inserts and tab data sheets are coordinated for you to be able to find a label easily. The labels are marked (on the top and bottom of each label there is a 1/8" margin so you can find out which series, and in what sequence a company issued the particular label)

As an example: If I were looking for the first stereo Decca label, I would probably describe it to a dealer this way: Black, silver lettering Large 'Decca' with silver band about across (the band runs from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock) the word 'Decca' is above the band. Starting at 9 o'clock on the label, at the outer portion, reading from 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock, the words, "Original Recording By" appears. The record should also be 'grooved' (for a pressing ring)

Or, I could look in the Mikrokosmos Labelography, and ask the dealer to go to the 'DECCA' tab, and see 'ED1'. That simply stands for English Decca 1. That's it. Simple and easy.
