Annotation

With Italian CD manufacturing, if the MOULD SID is IFPI 25xx then it is an Italian Pressing at by EMI Italiana S.p.A.. It is very common for EMI UDEN or EMI SWINDON to appear in the mastering details on the matrix. This is because masters are sent from the UK and Holland for pressing in Italy. Those CDs are then sent Europe Wide and not just Italian martket
