TARGETING THE "TARGET" DISCS
A list of the early Warner Group Labels (Warner Bros., Elektra, Asylum, Atlantic, Atco, Modern, Geffen, Sire, Solar, Cotillion & Mirage)
that were pressed in West Germany and Japan.
If any of these were later re-released, they were pressed in the U.S. by WEA Manufacturing, Inc. and with a reflective label.
These discs quite often had colorful two-tone silk-screen labels which resembled a "target".
