It's definitely in Braille. I deciphered it to "SKAMPLER SR 9708", using the Braille description at http://dots.physics.orst.edu/gs_index.html. The only cell that doesn't make sense to me is the first of the middle word, with dots 5 and 6. I'm not sure what "SR 9708" means, but it's also stamped on the underside of the CD (in the inner ring). --- Brent Sawatzky bsawatzky@radss.com RADSS Technologies, Inc.

SR = Silent Records, the US licensee. Hey. I'm listening to Maxwell House's "II" LP on Peacefrog. I'm absolutely stunned. Can anyone point me to like recordings? g.

It's the catalog number of the CD: "SR" for Silent Records (the label that released the comp), "97" for the year, and "08" 'cause it's their eighth release of the year. Greg
