"MADE BY WARNER-PIONEER CORPORATION, JAPAN" is found on the perimeter, but
the disc was actually pressed by CBS/Sony. There is one small "CSR" embossed in the plastic hub.
Known matrix numbers: (1) 32XD-325 11 +++++
(2) 32XD-325 11A1 +++++ with barcodish looking markings on the opposite side of the center hole.


Front cover of the twelve-page booklet.
Pretty much the same as the USA issue (not a target!) except there is no mention of a
country or manufacturer, and "32XD-325" is added to page twelve. All writing is in English.


Rear tray insert, "Printed in Japan." without barcode.
Nothing is printed on the reverse.


This is what this CD looks like closed, with sticker obi strip attached.
In the background is the Japanese lyric sheet.

Notes: This target CD was only distributed in Japan, and will be hard to find anywhere else.
It is very scarce in Japan, as well.
This is one of those rare titles, in that it is an American title issued in Japan as
a target disc, but not elsewhere, as far as I know. There are West German and Japanese
pressings of this title for distribution worldwide, but they are plain
silver stock discs with black printing. See below.
