go to link CDs play from the inside out, the opposite of vinyl records. Thus, with a CD, any “dead space”, where there is no musical content, lies along the outer edge of the disc. Over the years on keithhirsch.com, we’ve discussed aesthetic qualities of many West German pressings, but the focus has been the interesting, colorful label sides. Tying the first two points together, let’s consider a different aesthetic feature of some West German CDs.

Tramadol Online Ireland Look at the typical CD that doesn’t maximize the playing capacity of approximately 80 minutes, and you will see that the dead space at the outer edge has a “matte” appearance. It is reflective, much like the play (data) portion of the disc, but has a somewhat matte or flat look. For some early West German CDs, however, the dead space has a mirrored appearance. Let’s call this an “outer mirror band” to contrast it with the typical inner mirror band where the matrix code is located.

Examples are select Polydor and RSO titles with catalog numbers of the form 800 XXX-2. The outer mirror band is also found on certain West German Polygram pressings of classical titles on the Philips, London, Decca, and Deutsche Grammophone labels. These discs typically have catalog numbers of the form 400 XXX-2, though the outer mirror band is also found on some 410 XXX-2 titles.

  • The matrix code bears the original character grouping of “400XXX 2 0X”. For example, a disc with catalog number 400 050-2 and the outer mirror band has matrix code “400050 2 01”. Later West German pressings without the outer mirror band (Polygram or PDO plant pressings) have the matrix code with character grouping “400 050-2 0X” (with X being 1, 2, 3, etc.).

This recording was released on CD by Decca under catalog number 400 050-2. The disc and inserts show a phonogram date of 1979, while the back insert also includes a copyright date of 1982. The earliest CD pressing with the outer mirror band likely is from 1982.
