Magic Marmalade 21st Feb 2021		But either way, you're both saying this disc shouldn't be in this package... and disc should be moved to another page? (Unless it was generally to be found with a US disc in... some kind of trade deal ?)



leonard 21st Feb 2021		Another possibility is I got it from the record company as an advance copy....



PhilMH 21st Feb 2021		Well, I still think it a stretch that a European or US record company would need to get discs or inserts from another continent when there were several other factories close by; if we go with leonard's assumption that this was a European release and Sonopress (who pressed for BMG) were out of discs, BMG could have gone to PolyGram/PDO in Hanover or Blackburn, Record Service/WEA in Alsdorf, MPO in France, or whoever owned the disc-making facility in Austria (CBS?). If this was intended as a US release from the disc, surely there would have been several US-based printing companies who could have done the inserts? Anyway, leonard, did you buy this new or used? It smacks of coming from a used record shop where they had copies from different countries, with the discs behind the counter to prevent theft, and the shop assistant grabbing the wrong disc to put in the case. Ignore the example of Australia for the moment - companies here were mostly getting complete packages from Europe or USA, because there were only one or two factories here at the time, though that would change within a couple of years.



Magic Marmalade 20th Feb 2021		I think by now we know that record companies themselves did not always abide by their own standards... ...We are in the habit of thinking that what's in black and white (or at the very least printed) is authoritative, honest and a reflection of reality, when actually, record companies, being powered by humans, were not beyond the circumstances of day to day problems, and cut corners to resolve issues: "Boss, we've run out of inserts and CD artwork" ..."Ok, phone Germany, and get some shipped over, and we'll just stuff our discs in those packages... after all, same basic details" "But are we allowed to do that boss?" ..."Who's ever gonna know?!!... after all, it's not like anyone's ever going to look at them in any great detail is it... or catalogue them or something ridiculous like that... they're only CDs!". Anatomy of a botched operation :)



PhilMH 20th Feb 2021		A mismatch of package and disc, I think - the package indicates BMG distribution (and IIRC BMG had the rights to Island in only a few European countries), whereas the disc (perhaps made in US from a German glass master?) indicates WEA, who only had the rights to the label for US and Canada. I doubt that either company would have been distributing a package or disc that referenced another company that they had no dealings with. I would be inclined to split this into separate US and European entries, both 1989 releases, because in the following year Island moved to PolyGram pretty much worldwide (beginning of the year for most countries, mid-year for North America once the deal with Atlantic/WEA expired).



leonard 20th Feb 2021		AAARRRGGH! Made in USA by WEA Music Manufacturing Inc. on rimtext cd, but made in Germany on ring cd. American cat# on disc. European cat# on package. How easy could things be!
