Hi Ben -- Do remember LM, the main mono Red Seal prefix. A few others: LRM (10" Red Seal) LY (children/young people) LK LPT (the pop/jazz equivalent of LCT -- older recordings reissued) Best wishes Don Tait -----Original Message----- From: James Roth <[log in to unmask]> To: ARSCLIST <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Fri, Jan 29, 2016 1:20 pm Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] RCA Victor classical LP prefix letters Thank you.

A premium product often with tipped in art in the luxury color booklets. LD was the mono issue. This was a domestic product. Some titles do have a shaded dog label. LSC/D was premium Dynagroove classical stereo product (I only know of 2 titles in the series). LSP was the popular stereo line, with LPM being mono titles. LOC/LOCD (mono), LSO/LSOD(stereo) was soundtracks/Broadway. ARL was Red Seal classical (stereo), ARM= mono in the 70's. AGM was classical Gold Seal mono. AGL = Gold Seal stereo. CAS was Camden label (pop). CAL = Camden mono (both classical & pop). LCT classical mono. LHMV= mono classical from HMV sources.
