William,

Thanks.  The images on your site are the type I've been thinking about 
taking: cover A/B, record A/B, & liner A/B.  I'll use them as a exemplars 
for my OCR software (Adobe 6.0 Standard).

Also, glad to see that you've photographed unique record liners.  I keep 
the matched unique liners that come with the LPs I find.
