Kazia's "I Say Please" on Millage...was making a file of it for "Deep n Sweet" thread, and was wonderin bout the stamp I got on the label, it says "Compliments of William Sirlin Mortuary" Often wondered how the hell it ended up with a stamp like that on it? on Ebay at the mo there's a copy of Kazia and guess wot, it got a similer stamp albeit a sticker in this case. So did old Billy Sirlin have a box load of these that he handed out to customers? and if he did...who dug up these copies?

here's a scan of mine, and one off Ebay....

...so wot's the strangest thing ya seen on a label?

All the copies of the Carstairs Pete Smith gets seem to have a boot print stamped on

found a stack of blues 78's in a garage once, on one of the 78's label was a sticker from a record shop in oakland, wish i would've taken a picture of it, it said something along the lines of records, tvs, radio's and lingerie

Chips was a record distributor from Philly , Weldon McDougal 111 used to work for them .A lot of their stickers can be found on Philly '45's .They also distributed Motown records .I used to have a Frankie Beverly on Fairmount with this sticker on .Hope this helps ,Best ,Eddie

in hindsight, I think your description of the sticker is correct and mine was wrong.

Apparently, when Colin Curtis initially tracked down a copy of Joe Hicks, it too had a lump of chewing gum stuck to it! (My mate later ended up buying the same copy!) Does that count?!

...maybe it was Joe Hicks' very own gum! You'd have to have it DNA tested presumably (a 'Bubblegum Breakthrough' if ever there was one!), but what a "collector's item" to put into Manship's auction! Bids?
