It was pressed by Matsushita in Japan, they did the early CD's for Elektra / Asylum (USA.) This particular release 9 60260-2, yea i'd have to say 1983 would be on the money here.
Produced & Engineered by Keith Forsey & Brian Reeves.
"Sorry Sorry" Produced & Engineered by Jimmy Iovine & Adam Kasper.
Mixed by Andy Wallace.
Mastered by Bernie Grundman.
10 panel gatefold booklet.
Agreed that the BMG release was tonally more on the slate/blue grey side than the yellow/brown of the MCA retail release but I have never, ever seen a MCA CD from this period so gold in appearance as the image uploaded to this page
