Inner wax writings

I have often noticed "Masterdisk" imprint around dead wax...some impressions appear handwritten and some typographical. Any informed theory/knowledge/reference would be greatly appreciated.

Another kick a** version is the Japanese release ATLANTIC P10116A. Regarding DSOTM, there are at least a half dozen pressings that blow away the MOFI. They include: UK original US original HARVEST 8556731 The British Centenary Direct Metal Master EMI EMLF97002 Japanese Pro Series HARVEST 1C06205249Q German Quadraphonic EMI EMS80324 Japanese release The 30th Anniversary release is a joke.

One of my favorites is on original pressings of Led Zeppelin III. In the deadwax of side 1 is "Do What Thou Wilt" and side 2 "So Mote Be It". These are phrases from a work by Aleister Crowley who is greatly admired by Page; he has a huge collection of Crowley's manuscripts, artwork, and memorabilia. At one time he owned one of Crowley's homes in Scotland.
