Blue Cheer - BC#5 The Original Human Being
To Beggars Road.
I'd like to explain concerning release date.
But some explanations are difficult to write in English for me.
So I divide it into several times and explain it.

According to RIAJ's RIS204,Y with circle means 'YOGAKU(洋楽)'.
'YOGAKU' is non-Japanese music.
To be exact,if foreign companies or person own a master,these musical pieces are called 'YOGAKU'.

L with circle means 'LOCAL(邦楽)'.
'LOCAL' is Japanese music.

X with circle means 'The rental use is prohibited'.
If it is written as 'X~2017.7.22',this means 'The rental use is prohibited until 22nd July 2017'.

If two dates are written in rectangular area,date of first part is Release Date.
If second part is written as (2017.7.22),this date means 'Release date of first issue (in the world)'
If second part is written as Japanese KANJI '再' (with circle) 2017.7.22,this means 'This CD ought to be sold in suggested price until 22nd July 2017'.

In OBI of this CD,add two Japanese HIRAGANA 'ま(ma)' and 'で(de)' followed by the second date.
'ma-de(まで)' means 'till' or 'until' in this case.

In Japan,media of audio software (Vinyl,CD,Cassette,etc) ought to be sold in suggested prices from 1953.(This means that discount of CD is prohibited by a law.)

This system (再販制度) is probably in English 'resale price maintenance system'.
From 1992,this system became valid in the period of two years only applied to audio software.
After that,many record companies shortened six months from two years.

The Band - Northern Lights-Southern Cross
To leonard.
I agree with your comment.
From picture of 1402785,release date is April 21st 2004 and barcode for Japanese market is '4988006819528'

If picture of 1402783 isn't seal tag for preventing crime (shoplifting),first 2 digits mean country code.
In Japan,first 2 digits are '49' or '45'.
I guess,if country code is '50',it is UK.

Bee Gees - Trafalgar
RIAJ (Recording Industry Association of Japan,日本レコード協会) recommend to members(record companies) for showing JAN code (13-digits barcode) on package at RIS204.
Polydor K.K. PolyGram K.K. and Universal Music K.K. often show barcode at rear of OBI from late 1980s(probably 1987).
So I guess barcode is shown at rear of OBI.

Bauhaus - Burning From The Inside
Teichiku Records own Imperial label.
So first 4 characters of catalog number is 'TECI' not 'TKCB'.

Silje - Silje
Release date of this CD was on 27th November 1991.
Information at discogs are incorrect.

At picture of 1385483,find the release date as ruled by RIAJ (Recording Industries Association of Japan,日本レコード協会),RIS204.

Explanations concerning RIS204 are can be seen at website of RIAJ.
But all sentences are written in Japanese.

The part which was surrounded by a rectangle,Three Numbers are printed as '91・11・27'.
This means 'Year,Month,Day'.

Toshiba EMI reissued this CD on 8th January 1993 as catalog # 'TOCP-7530'.

Paul McCartney And Wings - Band On The Run
According to website in discogs,printed on label ‘台北縣板橋’.
‘台北縣板橋’ was changed ‘新北市板橋區’(Banqiao in New Taipei City,Taiwan) from 2010.

Also printed on label ’66 5 出版’.
I guess this means ‘Printed in May 1977’.
Taiwan uses the original name of an era,’民国(ROC)’.
In the year ‘民国(ROC)66‘ is 1977.
