The titles in this color box are documented
The titles in this color box are theorized

Steve White has put forth a theory that  the above LPs (some D-references and some 1974 or '75 releases) could possibly be included in the intended releases.

In 1973 Trade Mark of Quality released several titles in a generic, die-cut cover. This has come to be known as the 'Cartoon cover'. All covers were alike. The die-cut in the center exposed the album label. On one side the label was a large TMQ pig logo. The other side was a full printed label that gave the title, volume number, LP reference number, track listing for both sides, and source information. © 1999 Craig Pinkerton Bobsboots.com

The CARTOON series
by Larry Hansen 
© 1999 Larry Hansen
The 'S-reference number' [The reference number designated on the insert of the original release version] of the LPs included in the Cartoon series match the volume number [Printed on the label] of the LPs in this series. This holds true with the exception of volumes 12 & 13 which appear to be a simple transposition. 
Volume 1 (*) is shown as Great White Wonder. All known copies are double albums in the normal stamped covers, but with the cartoon style labels. The labels omit any volume number, but have the reference 72001. This will therefore be assumed to be the first. All other titles include the volume number on the label.

The titles missing S-references from those listed by Dominique Roques in 'great white answers'  are: 
'Isle of Wight', 'Best of Great White Wonder', 'While the establishment Burns', and 'Burn Some More'. 

Steve White submits a plausible theory. "By utilizing some D-references and some 1974 editions the following can be offered for study:" 

D-104 While the establishment Burns / Isle of Wight 
D-114  BBC Broadcast 
S-115  Melbourne, Australia 
D-116  St. Valentine's Day Massacre (electric) 
S-117   St. Valentine's Day Massacre (acoustic) 
S-118   Early 60's revisited
