Good to know.
I have a listing with the U.S types WEA CD-4 Euro discs which all start with K ., but it's difficult to distinguish which discs were actually pressed at Sonopress and which were simply imported and a WEA cd-4 label stuck on.
I had a copy of Wyman's Monkey Grip , which was pressed in the U.S. and album cover said U.S.but had the WEA EUROPE cd-4 label stuck on it
Do you mean a self-adesive label on both sides of the LP, or just the CD4 adesive on the LP cover?
Having the D.W. in front of me,
1) front cover: CD4 sticker
2) back cover: when there were the lines about copyright, made in usa etc white blocking and german credits
3) labels: no sticker, regularly pressed with the disc, GEMA as mechanical royalties company
4) run-out groove: serial number handwritten, "Manufactured in Germany" machine-stamped.
I can assume it is really a german pressing. The other german releases should have at least point 3 and 4.
EDIT: back cover has a correction sticker that change the serial number: top right, white box with the number
WB56019
(BS2846)
B
and pasted over a sticker with
2-56109_D
The number on the labels is
WB256109D
LP Spine has the WB 56109 B (BS2846) and says... STEREO. They modified a USA Stereo cover for the german stereo releas and added two stickers to the stereo german cover to use with the cd4 lp. Cheaper than a specific quad print.
Also, re-examining the runout groove, it may be that WB USA sent a pair of their CD4 stamper in Germany where they applied the Manufactured in Germany line, since the number in the groove is BS4 2846 which is not present anywhere on the labels.
Does the Passport disc mention where it has been CUTTED? JVC Los Angeles?
