Ahh... I see it now. Looks like a middle management decision to me... "er listen up everyone, from now on all CDs will have the barcode in a single string of numbers as a secondary cat#. Reprint everything and look lively about it." Unless there was a legal reason it really seems to be a pointless addition to manufacturing process. Anyway thanks for pointing the difference and yes, CD's are tricky little buggers.
p.s. Sent correction for track 02 "I Had A Dream, Joe".
Hey gregs45s how is this different to the linked 1992 UK Mute label issue below. All the details are the same as far as I can see. Should the entries be merged or is there something that differentiates them that I can't see? What do you think?
Hey Magic, the cat# 8663102 is on the spines and in bold on the back inlay after the regular cat#. Is the one with one 6 in the barcode box? My eyes aren't able to see the numerals in there. Could it be a typo or mistake? Or is that how UK specific cat#s are generated by dropping the 2nd or 3rd number from a 7 numeral sequence in the full cat#. Whatever the reason this entry looks taken of by covering all bases. Thanks Magic.
