carlton home entertainment, various stages in pickwick, and various stages in the hallmark label all seem intermixed, and to provide very limited and not necessarily reliable information variously on lps, compact discs, and their sleeves - and trying to make sense of what's actually occurred will take time and communication.
As I entered this CD, I felt I had to dig it out and check ppint's comment.
On my copy of the CD there is no date, and on the shiny side there is just the catalogue number ("302182").
The printed materials offer the following information:
"This compilation (P) 1995 Hallmark Music & Entertainment",
"(C) 2000 Hallmark Music & Entertainment", and "Hallmark Music & Entertainment Ltd. is a label owned by CHE (1986) Ltd.". (I guess CHE stands for "Carlton Home Entertainment".)
So, I feel there was no reason whatsoever for me to make this a 1995 release.
It may also be of interest that the reverse inlay states "Made in Germany".
