The Inscriptionary

What are the vinyl messages on the run-out groove that I am calling "record inscriptions?" Well, here I am using that phrase to refer to the sometime cryptic text, typically in upper case, which appears just beyond the outer edge of a vinyl LP and is not any of the identifying serial numbers. These have always fascinated me and sometimes their meaning is obvious, sometimes not. I encourage your feedback by e-mail or comment.
