Hi, it looks like you have the first pressing of this album (on CD) from 1985, at least, have a look at this one and see if it matches yours.
Early CD's were quite often pressed in Japan for the European and USA markets, so, here, a Japanese made Disc has been paired with the Dutch artwork.
With regard to the CB number, these are the French retail price codes used in Europe (not used in the UK i don't think) at the point of sale (till) to identify which distributer to pay ,or, if not at the till individually, then presumably by bulk, i.e, 100 CB 801 albums by someone in the office of the retailer? (it would be great if someone in the Distribution business could let us know).
"CB" does indeed stand for CBS i think, just as "POL" stands for Polydor. I have seen code number changes quite often and i think it's just an adminstritive thing?.
I think, as your copy matches both Label and Cat No./no barcode exactly, it could be entered here on this page as well, but perhaps indicating your scans with "1985 First issue" (i shall put in a request to change the date to 1985), but, does the Disc image shown here 2265804 match yours? as, this one also has Manufactured by CBS/SONY in Japan around the rim text, or if it differs in any way, perhaps you can add a scan and maybe one of the rear tray art showing the different code CB 801.
hope that helps;)

Poster matches image 3324031 on that release also.

gregs45s SUBS 10th Aug 2024 | | CD AlbumColeman Hawkins, Ben Webster - Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster | Was able to compare this remaster to the stock release (823 120-2)(not saying that recording is a bad one, that AAD is a good one also), and, can confirm it's a definite upgrade, the instruments are better spaced creating an improved soundstage, and the overall clarity has been improved, highlighting details previously unheard on the original.
(Recommended) 8-9/10

gregs45s SUBS 29th Jul 2024 | | Vinyl AlbumChicory Tip - Son Of My Father | With a nod to hedgehopperray, a scan of the hype sticker on the front which is actually on the card sleeve, not on the outer cellophane.
(just noticed, the sticker i've added is from the '72 re-release with "What's My Name" which replaced "Excuse Me Baby", so, not sure if you want it here, although it's the same Cat No. but one track different (perhaps warranting a seperate entry?)

gregs45s SUBS 28th Jul 2024 | | CD AlbumPink Floyd - The Wall | Of the 21, yes 21!!! unofficial Chinese releases of "The Wall" currently on Discogs, this one is not on yet, (so, it's a 45 Worlds exclusive ;).
There are some (dodgy/humorous) (which is fairly common) tracklisting gaffs on the CD1 Disc :)
The two Discs look ill matched, one is silvered, and one has a gold playside (possibly the one that's HDCD)

gregs45s SUBS 26th Jul 2024 | | CD AlbumStormzy - Gang Signs & Prayer | Could a MOD please have a look at this one, Juke Jules's entry is marked as USA but, looking around, the UK release is exactly the same i think, i wonder, did Juke Jules buy his in the states?, if so, was it an import or maybe it was just on general sale in the racks, in which case, perhaps it was a worldwide release using the same Label/Cat No./barcode, in which case it would need to be changed to International.
The scans i've added are of the UK release (also, added a slighly sharper CD scan for Moderation)

Mod: Changed to UK

Her delightful, impish character always makes for an interesting watch on her videos, definitely a force of nature. (PS I've put her under "Aurora [Norway] as there is another "Aurora" on the site which are not related, but happy if you want to change it)
