Front cover of the twelve-page booklet.
Page eleven states "Fabriqué par MPO
Imprimé en France par GLORY"
Sometimes, this second line is omitted.


Rear tray insert "Printed in France" with barcode.
Nothing is printed on the reverse.


Rear tray insert "Printed in West Germany" with barcode. Identical to the rear tray insert
used for the West German target pressing. In my experience, this appears to be more commonly
found with the French target than the French insert. Your mileage may vary.

Notes: This disc is very scarce. If you find one on eBay, expect a knock-down
drag-out fight with rabid Prince fans.
