Regarding CDs, to take Beatles-related releases as an example (where there is probably more data available than most artists) "Wings Wild Life" was not released on CD until October 1987 but was given the CD-FA 3101 cat no which matches the 1984 vinyl release (albeit without the 41-1 additions). It seems to have been released the same day as "McCartney II" (CD-FA 3191) and "Red Rose Speedway" (CD-FA 3193) which may or may not be the same time as the vinyl releases. Confusingly, Macca's other 1984 Fame release "McCartney" was released earlier in 1987 and has no Fame cat no. And just as your deciding what you're going to use to tie your noose with, "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band" (1984 vinyl cat no - FA 41 3102 1) was released on CD in 1988 without a Fame cat no but was re-issued with one (CD-FA 3310) in 1994.

On the plus side, I've spotted a vinyl copy of the Tavares
"Best Of" on ebay!
