Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (without 'Made in' at Matrix)

~ Release by Elton John (see all versions of this release, 56 available)

Annotation

The Combination of CDs in this 2 CD Set is very tricky.
In a lot of Sets the CD 1 and the CD 2 aren't made in the same period, as could be especially seen by the Matrix /Runout Imprints. The younger Version should verify the Year of Release.

The Imprints at the Front of the CDs don't help, because the old Style was taken for different Pressings :
CD 1 = Made in W. Germany
CD 2 = Made in W. Germany by PolyGram

Matrix / Runout at this Set:
CD 1 :
821 747-2 02. AB
CD 2 :
821 747-2 03. AT

There are no 'Made in' Imprints at the Matrix.
It is not clear what this means.
There are two possibilities :
1. These Imprints weren't used at the first releases.
2. These Imprints were taken away directly after the Réunion of Germany on 1990/10/03. In 1991 they started to imprint "Made in Germany".

The Beginning of the Barcode 0422 reveals, that this Release wasn't released before 1984.

I found Releases with 'Made in W. Germany by PDO' at other Albums of the Pressing Plant, released in 1986.

These facts conclude to a possible release in the period of 1984 to 1986.

CD 2 has '03'' at the end, so it is a younger pressing.

This Booklet has as Imprint at the Back :
DJM CD 2
(821 747-2)

This is different to other versions, wich might only have 821 747-2 as Imprint at the Booklet's Back.
