The little stamp seen on many British records released prior to world war 2 is easily explained! It was simply an easy way for British Goverments to raise taxation. Put simply it was illegal to sell a record without such a stamp stuck on the label!
O.K., so it was only a few pence per disc bur it raised lots of cash. Particularly because a stamp had to be stuck on each side!
In Britain time also was when no receipt above a certain amount was legal unless it had a 2d stamp stuck on !
