That space is called the runout groove. And TMR is notorious for their runout groove comments. But this is part of a very long history of making use of that space.
Here is [an article](https://thevinylfactory.com/features/secret-history-messages-etched-runout-groove/) about runout groove messages so you can learn a little about the history and start taking notice of these fun Easter eggs as you build your collection.
I think this was my first new LP I bought, in like 2003 or something. I don't remember where I bought it though. Mine is the UK pressing with the darker tones. I'm not sure why that was available here in the US. I think maybe there wasn't a US first pressing, but I don't remember for sure.

Awesome, thanks for the info
Thanks
I’m pretty sure every record pressed at TMR has a little message cut into the runout
Cool, i'm new to all this, so i had no idea
If you have Instagram, send your pics over to the\_dead\_waxer, I'm working on creating an online archive of these!
I don't, but i can share a zip file here if you want
Excellent choice for a first LP.

I'm from Portugal, so its probably just different covers for different releases. I think this album came out around 2003, but not sure
Is this part of the stamp for the records or do they write on them directly?
