No manufacturing information.

Nothing is printed on the reverse.

Notes: This target CD is fairly hard to find, even in France.
A half-target version is much more plentiful.
Apparently, there is a target version of this title manufactured in Japan. I have no more information yet.

Jewel case info: ridged-top, four-tab, two short stopper bars,
"TSE-7" is embossed on one tab, and "TSE-5" is embossed at inside bottom right of the back portion.
Twelve-prong disc tray embossed with "KT 7.5"

About that afore-mentioned half-target...


"Made in Germany" by Record Service (with outer mirror band)
Matrix number: 229242137-2 RSA (plus a series of boxes)
The number "27" and the stylized "W" logo are embossed in the plastic center.
"IFPI 0512" is embedded in the plastic center.
Note that the outer squares are missing from the target design.

As near as I can tell, this half-target pre-dates the full target version.
The paper inserts are identical. However, there is also a later pressing, at first
glance identical, but has a matrix number similar to the full-target version above.
It can be easily spotted by the rear paper insert, which has several differences.
