6.4F. Date of publication, distribution, etc.

LC practice: Do not regard as a copyright date for the recording a date preceded by the copyright symbol "©" that appears on the container or accompanying matter (cf. 1.4F5, 1.4F6). This symbol can apply only to the printed text. However, it can be used as evidence for supplying a date of publication according to 1.4F7 when neither a date of publication nor a "p" date appears on the item.
