| | Insert with end tag variation added, showing that it was 'Printed in UK'.
Incidentally, the disc was manufactured by EMI Swindon. |

| | Yes, it is not always us recording these items that get it wrong.... it's the issuing record company / label making a pig's dinner of their own items.
So helpful rule of thumb for us, is always to work from the inside out when entering items.
... Go by the disc first, as your second example shows, a uniquely Australian disc can end up in "European" packaging, so going form the outside in, it would have been entered as European.
But they should be entered as well as you know how, everything else can be knocked into shape after. |

| | Hi Magic, see my comment on this Pink Floyd release from 5 years ago. A better example of the practise described is this Pink Floyd release. An example of a multi-faceted cock-up is this Pink Floyd release. So it's hard to tell really sometimes we get the EU issue as released in the EU, sometimes just EMI Swindon glass as the case seems to be here. However we can also have locally made and EU versions with the same details released simultaneously and anything in between. David Bowie's 1999 reissues on EMI were a case where both locally made and EU made products were issued at the same time.
Maahrjick (that's the Australian spelling), the point is evidence of one will not prove others don't or did not exist. Not very helpful I know in this case but it might be handy to know and it really only applies to 1995 to 2000 era EMI releases. |

| | I have moved the disc image over, but I also see the same contributor (Bombsiteboy) added some sleeve images too (presumably from his same copy)...
...So the Australian disc and the UK one were both available in the same sleeve / packaging?
If so, it might be an idea for me to simply copy these images and put them over there, but I want to be sure it wasn't simply a case of bb having the wrong disc in his case (That there is another actual Australian sleeve to go with the disc. |

| | The Australian issue here needs a new entry it has a different cat# 8821482 and should be entered in line with this Supergrass CD Single from the same year.
Strange that the Australian version only has EMI on the label too but it is a Parlophone release nonetheless. In the mid nineties it was common practise for EMI to manufacture in Swindon and send all the components including the cover and unstamped glass around the world. Wherever they landed they were assembled and the Swindon glass was then stamped. This is covered in the fine print within the price box "place of manufacture as stated on label" but this is not really true as they were all manufactured in Swindon and just had the labels stamped in the country of distribution. In Australia the stamping also included altering the cat# to a single string of seven numerals. They are definitely Australian releases but only stamped and assembled here not manufactured as the inlay might infer.
