London : Ace of Clubs (Audio disc label reads: Decca Record Company / Ace of Clubs)

If, however, a trade name appears to be the name of a publisher's series rather than of a publishing sub-division, record it as a publisher's series (see 8.6). In case of doubt, treat the name as a publisher's series title.

London : Disney Productions ... – (Disney storyteller) (Audio disc label reads: Disney storyteller. Walt Disney Productions)

A broadcast sound recording is 1) a sound recording that has been prepared as the source for a broadcast; 2) a recording made by a radio station at the time of transmission; 3) a recording of a received radio transmission. A sound recording that has been used as an "insert" during a radio programme (e.g., a published sound recording) is not a broadcast sound recording unless it was specifically prepared as the source for a broadcast. However, a recording that was made by a radio station at the time of broadcast and that includes such inserts is a broadcast sound recording. Likewise, a recording of a received broadcast which includes inserts is also a broadcast sound recording.
