Corporate background:

Thanks to Adam Miller for the following info:

“From Don Taylor's English 78 Picture Book, Bulldog Records were established during WW1 by William Ditcham. Masters were mostly outdated Beka and Favorite material. In later years a green and yellow paper label replaced the earlier etched variety [see next label], Crystalate continued to press the discs until Bulldog's fadeout in the 1920s.”

Design: This ‘label’ is actually engraved directly into the record surface. This treatment was used in the early days of record manufacture (see Disque Aspir, Pathe, Zon-O-Phone). Despite the limits imposed by the technology, the information is clear and well presented.
