Front cover of the four-page booklet
Page three reads "Manufactured by PolyGram in Hanover, West Germany. 03373-2
Printed in W. Germany."

All three disc variations can be found with this inlay.
On the reverse is printed "03373-2"


Rear tray insert "Printed in U.S.A" with barcode.
The POLYGRAM disc variation can sometimes be found in this inlay, as can the
Japanese non-target pressing. Even though the above inlay is printed in the USA,
it is not the same inlay used for the later U.S. non-target pressings.
It can be differentiated by the catalog numbers on the spines, "03373-7" on the targets,
and "3373-2" on the U.S. pressings (see below).

Notes: This target CD is somewhat scarce. Expect to search a while.

OTHER INTERESTING EARLY CD PRESSINGS OF THIS TITLE:


"Made in Japan. Mfg. by Sanyo" at six o'clock.
Matrix info: MANUFACTURED BY SANYO JAPAN 3373-2 509132
This was issued in 1985, probably right around the time the target design was
discontinued. The paper inserts are the same USA inserts as those issued with the later
target issues as shown above.


MADE IN U.S.A. - DIGITAL AUDIO DISC CORP. at six o'clock.
Embossed in the plastic center is "Made in USA - Digital Audio Disc Corp." and the "D" symbol.
Matrix number: (obverse) DIDM-2703 11A10 (reverse) 1 3373-2 SRC-04
Although this pressing dates circa late 1980s, it is nonetheless interesting as it is a DADC pressing using
second generation WEA (Specialty Recording Corporation) stampers.


Rear tray insert "Printed in U.S.A." with barcode and new shorter catalog number: 3373-2
This is the tray card alluded to above. Early USA pressings will be found with this inlay.
