HMV, The Hallmark of Quality sleeve for a 12-inch long-playing record. The design features the HMV logo of 'Nipper the Dog' and makes use of the well-worn music publishing ploy of inserting a title into a pre-printed, general-purpose passé-partout frame. This sleeve has been printed for recordings of Tchaikovsky and Berlioz by the N.B.C. Symphony Orchestra.
