Bill,
Your new version brings to mind the term "material culture".
Watching the spinning label intrigued me largely if it were designed by an artist, though right now I'm only remembering collectible album jackets by Warhol and Dali. Detail printed on the label might determine whether it was truly the first issue or a reprint. If I could find my collection of "artists' records" I might be able to cite an "artists' label" I admire, but right now I'll mention ESP Records as a likely possibility (they definitely worked with colored vinyl in the mid-sixties & their operation has recently been revived).
