“(P)1977 Gama Records Limited. In Portugal the outer sleeve is over-printed with commemorative "100 Anos De Gravacao Sonora, 1877-1977" (100 Years of Sound Recording). Interesting historical note that Edison's 1877 sound recording was indeed regarded as the first when the sleeve was printed in 1977, but subsequently in 2008 scholars played back 1857 recordings by Edouard-Léon Scott de Martinville in France.”
