Magic Marmalade 26th Feb 2021		Oddly, just had a CD single with a sticker and new catalogue number for Australia printed, which was requested to be changed to Europe... ... I declined to change it as Leonard is right, in that these are European products made Australian by virtue of this paste over practice, but if a European issue has such a sticker and number on it, then that's how Australian CD buying public would know it, and have bought it, and so it becomes Australian then, in my view. ...So, if you make an entry without the sticker it's European, if it has one, it gets changed to Australia, as it has become so. (Even if the issue itself is identical an entry to another European one.... to use the Jerry Mcguire quote re-purposed: "Show me the sticker!" :)



PhilMH 26th Feb 2021		As I have explained REPEATEDLY, Festival was the long-term Australian licensee for Stax, Fantasy, and related labels, and thus had the exclusive rights to those labels in Australia, unlike a common-or-garden importer or shop; ditto for labels such as A&M, Arista, Chrysalis, Concord and Island, which were all with Festival at different points, and had some of their product imported. The only difference between Festival and the other companies who also imported much of their stock is that Festival allocated their own numbers. Whether you like it or not, leonard, in context these were Australian releases, but I fear that no amount of our restatement of this fact is going to alter your northern-hemisphere-fixated mindset.



leonard 26th Feb 2021		Many distributors and record shops put stickers on imported and regular products. For me this is an exact duplicate of the USA cd issued some 5 years later in Australia. If you'r case gets crushed or remove the sticker as Lee did, magic happens as it suddenly changes identity. You could make a LIST of D Festival numbers.



Lee Wrecker 26th Feb 2021		Personally, I like my collection devoid of stickers of any kind so I would have removed many of these in my day. Now, I wish I hadn't for tracking and cataloguing purposes but that's the way it goes. Festival was sold to Warner's 2005 which put an end to the practise full time and Festival as you point out gave us identical EU releases from the mid-90's up till then you would still see things with the distinctive D prefix either as a sticker on an import or cat# on an Australian made CD. It's a shame the big four, Universal, Sony, BMG and Warner's make nearly everything and don't care how they manufacture, distribute, market and most importantly catalogue their products.



PhilMH 26th Feb 2021		Hi Lee - yes, quite a lot, but at least by the 90's Festival were using computer-printed stickers instead of the handwritten ones of a decade before! By the end of the 90's, or maybe the early 2000's, Festival stopped allocating their own catalogue numbers to the items they imported - maybe they finally figured out how to use a computer to keep track of them!



Lee Wrecker 26th Feb 2021		Hmm... and this kind of Festival sticker thing happened more than once didn't it Phil?
