Records mastered by George Marino can be identified by 'MBG' or 'M.B.G.', which stands for 'Mastered By George', in the runout. In such cases use ANV 'G'. Note: 'MBG' and 'M.G.B.' are also the etchings of [a=Milan Bogdan] (for 'Milan George Bodgan'), so try to confirm which engineer the initials belong to by reference to the mastering studios.
