No major variations are known.

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

Rear tray insert "Printed in West Germany" with barcode.

This target CD was issued briefly in Japan as 32XP-138 with the addition of this sticker
obi and foldout two-sided insert. Usually a non-target disc will be within! Beware!

Notes: This disc was probably only distributed in continental Europe and Japan,
and briefly at that, as it doesn't appear to be very common.

OTHER INTERESTING EARLY CD PRESSINGS OF THIS TITLE:

MADE IN WEST GERMANY BY POLYGRAM
This pressing replaced the target CD. It was also released in Japan with the
same obi and insert as above.
Matrix number: 7567 81240-2 2895 421 01 #
Known suffixes: CK [illegible]
Same rear tray insert and booklet as the target release.

MADE IN JAPAN (by CBS/Sony))
Matrix number: 32XD-138 11A2 +++++ (Other matrix numbers may exist)
Nothing is embossed in the plastic center.
Take note of the upper hemisphere perimeter print. It is the standard
"A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY ALL RIGHTS (blah blah blah)" statement.
Note also this disc has a GEMA, not a JASRAC logo. Odd.

MADE IN JAPAN.
Matrix number: 32XD-138 11A4 +++++
One tiny "CSR" is embossed in the plastic center.
Note again the upper hemisphere perimeter print. This time it states,
"MADE BY WARNER-PIONEER CORPORATION, JAPAN" etc. Despite that claim,
this was again manufactured by CBS/Sony. And this time we see a JASRAC logo.
And the European catalog number has disappeared.

Rear tray insert "Printed in West Germany" with barcode.
Except for the lack of the white box around the barcode, and the "32XD-138"
in the upper left corner, it appears identical to European tray insert. Nothing is printed on the reverse.
The booklet states "Printed in West Germany" and "32XD-138" on page eight.
Both discs above come with these paper inserts.

This sticker obi and insert come with the two discs above. Both are
slightly different than the ones that come with the West German discs.
