Nonesuch 9 79067
made in West Germany for US market and some international markets
color scheme: bronze paint background with black target and lettering
LP issued in 1984. CD released in 1984 or 1985
genre: classical


MADE IN WEST | | GERMANY BY POLYGRAM
Matrix number: 7559 79067-2 2893 570 01 # (same for all target pressings)
Later pressings have MADE IN W. GERMANY BY PDO etched around the center hole.


Error pressing (I am assuming) missing all the perimeter lettering,
therefore lacking a country of manufacture. I have no reason to believe
this was pressed anywhere other than West Germany. I found this disc in a
CD issued in Japan with obi. Suffix: SJ


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


Rear tray insert does not sport a country of manufacture.
"9 79067-2" is printed on the reverse.


This same disc (mine has the error disc; I assume the normal disc was supposed
to be inside) was issued in Japan, as 32XC-36, with the addition of this sticker obi.
Quite likely a Japanese-language insert was also issued, but I don't have one.

Notes: Like most Nonesuch titles, this target CD is scarce. Expect to search a while.

Jewel case info: Eight-prong disc tray embossed "Patents pending 8.4"
