Once again the closer you look the more differences you can see. The linked disc has the UK and EU cat#s (smaller under the UK cat#) and even though it comes out of EMI's Swindon plant is on different glass and states Made in the EU on the disc. So I was a bit hasty saying these are the same disc but regardless the point has been made. I'll edit my comment below so that it more accurate..
I think you are largely right Lee, and consider "International" for use only as an "Alpha and Omega" option in the CD story:
In the beginning, they were international, and at the end (until the dawn of the mp3-o-saurs), when they were international once again, when the mega-corps consolidated all their existing woes into one easily digestible blob... but everything in-between is either country specific, or continental.
(mind you, having said that, your linked release has "Manufactured In UK - Distributed by EMI" on the back, as well as rights societies on the disc, where this does not.)
Hi Greg, this UK issue and my linked EU version below are a classic example of why the country option is important in CD world. The two CDs were made in the UK and have the same primary cat# on the CD. The packaging however, contains different cat#s and a different bar code for specifically different markets. Is everything really international? I don't think so. Mark this as exhibit A.
