The_Vinyl_Junkie, I'm fully aware of local barcodes being added to magazines here but that was not what I was really getting at. It is more this situation I was trying to to describe where the publisher manufactures two versions of the same issue that have two different barcodes one for the UK and one for the rest of the world. See link for clarification and see this link for an example of Uncut following the same practice.

I can see where you are coming from now Lee.

Just quickly, the UK issues with the barcode starting "977' means "Serial Publication" and is ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) compatible.

The issues starting within the range "060" to "099" are USA / Canada and are UPC-A compatible. (UPC = Universal Product Code).

A copy of Mojo I purchased has the "977" and would have come through Gordon And Gotch in Perth. It is highly possible that both printings are available to the retailers from the wholesaler(s) within their area.

By the way I only purchased mine for the CD.
