MADE IN WEST | | GERMANY BY POLYGRAM
Matrix number: 7599 01843-2 2893 442 01
No variations that I am aware of.


Front cover of the twelve-page booklet.
Page eleven states "Manufactured by PolyGram in Hanover,
West Germany
Printed in West Germany"


Rear tray insert "Printed in West Germany." without barcode.
"1832-2" over "Europe: 246 043" is printed on the reverse.
Note the second catalog number on the wings. Later pressings lack the second number.
The exception to this rule is an early record club version which retains the second
number, but this is easy to spot, as it says "Printed in the U.S.A." on the back.
This same back inlay was also used for a West German non-target pressing, so be sure
to check the disc before buying!

Notes: This disc is one of the scarcer target CD's. It might take some patience to find this one.

Jewel case info: smooth frosted-top two-dimple with "14" embossed on one tab and "23" embossed on the back portion,
inide bottom center. Eight-prong disc tray embossed "Patents pending 13"

After the target design was discontinued in the U. S., WEA continued to have PolyGram manufacture
this title for North America, with this new boring label style.
The paper inserts are exactly the same as the target inserts.
