The point of having Europe is that some CDs are produced and then released in multiple European countries - same CD, same packaging, different countries.
Whilst it is not a precise science there are in some cases clues as to whether or not a CD is local or pan-European.
The Babes In Toyland CD you highlighted - which I entered - has Catalogue Numbers for the UK and France on the inlay, plus an international Cat No as well. This suggests that it was certainly released for sale in France, the UK and probably other countries as well. It was manufactured in Germany but that is not particularly relevant.
If this Depeche Mode release was only released in the UK then it is not correct to have it as "Europe", it should be in as a UK release. If, however, it was also released (in the same form, the same pressing, the same release) in other European countries then it would be "Europe".
The main point which must be emphasised is that the country of manufacture is not necessarily the deciding factor. Most major labels have and do manufacture in "the EU".
"Made In The EU" does not automatically mean something is a Europe-wide release.
Does this clarify? The whole issue is a little murky to say the least...
A note on this specific DM issue - if you are sure that boxsets 4-6 were released across Europe then yes, they should be Europe. PM me a list of pages which are wrong and we can fix. Though as Musicmasters seems equally certain they are UK-only then we may have to do a little more digging to find out who is correct.
It's nothing personal and we are merely trying to get things in the right place as much as possible.
Musicmasters has hit the nail on the head; it's the country (or countries) of release we are interested in - unfortunately the rather nondescript "Made In The EU" does not necessarily mean it is a pan-European release. It may well - as it appears in this case - be UK specific.
Printed/Made in EU is just an anonymous coverall for the manufacturing plant - all mine were bought in the UK and I very much doubt if they were sold like this in any other countries unless on 'Import'.
Has anyone in Europe or anywhere else bought this release as a standard issue?
CD BONG 23X definitely indicates a UK issue - any Depeche Mode CD single with either the early MUTE or later BONG catalogue numbers are definitely intended for the UK market.
There are certainly some French and German CD singles too that use the MUTE/BONG numbering as a secondary cat. no., but these are clearly marked for their country of sale - German ones tended to have an INT cat. no. (an abbreviation of the label Intercord)
