Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (PMDC)

~ Release by Elton John (see all versions of this release, 53 available)

Annotation

The Combination of CDs in this 2 CD Set is a little tricky.
In a lot of Sets the CD 1 and the CD 2 aren't made in the same period, as could be especially seen by the Matrix /Runout Imprints. The younger Version should verify the Year of Release.

The Imprints at the Front of the CDs don't help, because the old Style was taken for different Pressings :
CD 1 = Made in W. Germany
CD 2 = Made in W. Germany by PolyGram

Matrix / Runout at this Set:
CD 1 :
821 747-2 03 > YW
MADE IN GERMANY BY PMDC
CD 2 :
821 747-2 04 * ZO
MADE IN GERMANY BY PMDC

Made in Germany was used after Réunion of Germany, beginning in 1991. Earlier Versions should have 'Made in W. Germany'
CD 2 has '04' at the end, so it is a younger pressing.

This is versions might only have 821 747-2 as Imprint at the Booklet's Back.

The Release Date of 1993 at the discogs link is reasonable.
I have nearly the same Version as a release, but with an older CD 1 pressing at wich the adding of PMDC is missing at the Matrix.
