Front cover of the eight-page booklet.
Page seven states "Fabrique par MPO" when paired with a "Printed in France" tray card.
Other booklets offer no manufacturing or printing info.


Rear tray insert "Printed in France" without barcode.
The word "France" is in a different font, indicating a cut & paste job.
This target CD can also be found with a similar rear insert with "Printed in France" crudely airbrushed out
(it can still be read fairly easily!) and it adds an LC bullet. I don't have a picture yet.
This French disc is also sometimes found with the same West German inserts used for the West German pressings.


... and it can sometimes be found with this tray card, "Manufactured by Record Service GmbH, Alsdorf." without barcode.
This same tray card was also used to house early copies of the Germany Record Service target and later copies of the West German target disc.
See separate listings.

Notes: This target CD is not easy to find, even in Europe.
