Hi Robert,
 
My unground record has the brown paper on it that the paper labels were glued to and says Your're More Than a Pal. Jim Doherty on one side and Bury Me Beneath the Willow Stoneman on the other side in a thick ink.  I believe mine was a factory reject.
 
Was you record going to be a paper label one or an etched label one?  To the best of my knowledge the ones that were going to be paper labels have the brown paper that the label was glued to, does yours have this or it is smooth condensite?  
 
Steve
