These are the only five disc variations that I am aware of.
Front cover of the eight-page booklet
Page seven states "Manufactured by PolyGram in
Hanover, West Germany. 23757-2
Printed in West Germany"
Rear tray insert "Printed in West Germany" with barcode.
On the reverse is printed "23757-2"
Disc variation (d) was issued in Europe with "Alsdorf" inserts.
I don't have a picture yet.
Disc variation (a) (and possibly others) was issued in Japan as 38XP-1, with the addition of this gold sticker obi.
In all likelihood, there was also a Japanese-language insert as well, but I don't have one.
This was eventually replaced by 32XD-347. See separate entry for that Japanese target CD.
Notes: This target CD is harder to find than his first self-titled CD, but
with a little searching, you should be able to locate one.
