Van Morrison - Have I Told You Lately		I have decided to do it this way:
scan A : front without flap
scan B : back with flap and spine
(if necessary an additional scan and upload : back without flap when the flap obscures information)
scan C : disc

I have already re-cropped and re-scanned my images accordingly.

Absynthe Minded - Acquired Taste		I have entered the information about the enhanced video part in the notes, assuming that a video shouldn't be a part of the track listing.

The Who - My Generation		I personally would have entered it as UK too (assuming it was done at PDO Blackburn).
- Blackburn did mostly local releases
- the sticker links it with an ad campaign which looks UK only (but any country could add a local sticker to finished product so this indication is weak..).

The BIEM / STEMRA logos indicate central right licensing. Polygram/Universal has SACEM as a partner nowadays. Saves them money.
Polydor (UK) is the repertoire owner, so it gets a credit regardless of country of release.

I would say: in doubt go for Europe

The Who - My Generation		The pressing looks like an UK one, made by PDO in Blackburn. Unfortunately the inner ring text isn't readable, but from the style it should be an UK pressing. I have compared it with another CD from 1996 done at PDO Blackburn.
Polygram had three CD plants in Europe in the 90s (Langenhagen near Hannover, Louviers in France and Blackburn) with central warehousing for Europe in Langenhagen (plus local warehouses all over Europe).
These three were mainly assigned to international releases (Langenhagen), local UK (Blackburn) and local France (Louviers). To make things complicated orders were often off loaded to one of the other Polygram plants, depending on demand and capacity planning.
Some orders were placed at third party suppliers. The most extreme example was Elton John's Candle in the Wind which was manufactured at more then 10 factories due to demand.
Local Polygram companies had to use the three plants mentioned, but inofficially they used local plants from time to time to save money and have shorter leadtimes.
As you know Polygram became Universal, with only one main plant (EDC in Langenhagen) left. A little bit less complicated, but the problem with assigning the right country remains..

I worked for more than 20 years at Polygram and Universal in Langenhagen but I'm lost sometimes too when it comes to country of release...

A Camp - I Can Buy You		My first CD added. Contrary to my 78 collection I will be able to add a few more here :-)
First impression: silver discs are difficult to scan.
BTW: Would be nice to be a mod here as well.
