I just picked up 3 records from this label at a swap meet today, and all three of them have a Gherkin pickle stamped on the A side. I'm not really sure if it a significant sign, but I am guessing the previous owner managed to get these straight from the label when they came out. It is a cool little marking that I am guessing most of the copies don't have judging by the label scans that have been uploaded to the database.
