Have any of you ever notice strange messages in the vinyl? I mean the wide ring of blank vinyl around the label in the center of the disk. I used to work in a radio station and we found several messages inscribed in that section of the disk - dedications, doodles, etc. I don't have any examples to tell you about - but maybe some of you out there have noticed these messages, also. Unlike the musical secret messages which are inserted by the band or engineers, these messages must be put on the disks by the people that make the master molds. Jim McParland ABI - HO hou5e!jjm
