Considering that Pathé issued a fair number of such discs, that shortcoming seems odd. Or is it just a trick of photo perspective?
If you have American Pathé 14 inch disks, please post info, preferably with photos.
The first photo is of a 14" US Pathé with a 12" LP for size comparison. The remainder are photos of several 14" US Pathés, some specifically marked for US sale only and some not. The one in a generic sleeve strikes me as interesting in part because the "sleeve" is a page from an album; I have never seen a 14" generic record storage album but would love to!
