“Early pressing, possibly part of the first batch, with no barcode on the sleeve, no catalog number on sleeve or labels, same matrix codes as [r=32662] and containing 3 tracks each on sides C & D. The only difference noticeable is slightly different sleeve art, namely that the R&S logo on the rear, instead of being in the far right bottom corner, is placed 2cm to the left, below the word 'Manufactured' and to the right of 'Belgium'. Later pressings: Same sleeve & labels but different matrix codes: [r=6379671]. Same sleeve & labels but different matrix codes; plays 4 tracks on side C and 2 on side D: [r=1790544]. With barcode on lower right of back cover: [r=4852926]. With barcode on upper right of back cover: [r=1138729].”
