Voice-O-Graph Labelography

This is my Voice-O-Graph Labelography as the information currently stands. Remaining work needs done in the area of date confirmation and integration of the anachronistic metal-core green label discs. Later variants also prove perplexing. I also do not discount the possibility of more color variants. [Contributions are always welcome if anyone knows more.]

*I have changed my naming schema to Logo color/Label color/ Lacquer color. I hope to develop this into a genuine naming schema. I will have to work in the logo variants. I have added line dividers, and also moved all the Mutoscope discs to the bottom as they do not add to the continuity of Voice-O-Graph label design.
