Annotation

There are existing some Reissues with a Blank Style CD.
As it could be seen at the Matrix Imprint '03', this is the 3rd pressing.
There should be differences by Imprints used. For example :

Matrix / Runout :
Made in W. Germany (from 1989)
Made in W. Germany by PDO (from 1990)
without an ''Made in' Imprint at Matrix (from 1990)
Made in Germany (from 1991)
Made in Germany by PMDC (from 1992)

The Blank Style CD were published from 1989 on, as far as I found out. Before this Style was used, the Train Style CD was in use from 1984 on.

The use of W. Germany means, that it was released before Reunion of GERMANY in 1990.
It seems that the time following directly after the Reunion on 1990-10-03 the Record Companies in Germany didn't know what 'Made in' they shall use now. What will the new reunited Country be called?
Will it stay 'West Germany'? Will it be only 'Germany'? Or something else?
During this period the 'Made in' simply vanished at the Matrix.
In 1991 finally the 'West' was deleted and only 'Made in Germany' used.

PDO / PDMC :
PDO was used between 1986 and 1991.
PMDC was used after PDO ended, so approx. from 1992 on.

To concrete the Year of Release above, I asked myself, how many Price reduced offers we have had in a Year. That was a difficult question, but I ended up with the result of one per Label maximum in a Year should be the rule. There exists several times in a Year, when Price reduced offers were made: Easter, Summer, Autumn and Winter. But I remember, that they were made mostly by different Labels.

Another Rule I made was, that the 'Made in' without using 'by' logically appeared before the adding with a 'by' was made.

Later runs might have the Matrix 800 063-2 04
wich means, they belong to the 4th pressing or 4th Reissue.
If you have even more Data printed in the Matrix, like complete added Numbers, these Re-Releases had been initialized afterwards the above. So, they are younger.
As far as I have seen the '04' longer Matrix versions were used for Export License to other Continents. For example, Brazil (South America) and Australia.
At the moment I can't make a guess, when that happened, but according to the List above it isn't reasonsble before 1993. It should have been before the License from Phonogram Production ended in 1995, I guess.
