Shown here are Non-Target CDs pressed in other countries, such as the U.S., the U.K., and France.

Miles Davis Sketches of Spain (CBS, catalog number CK 08271).  The disc was pressed by CBS/Sony’s U.S. DADC plant, as evidenced by the text “Made in USA-Digital Audio Disc Corp.” stamped on the plastic ring.  The “triangle-in-circle” symbol beneath the CD format logo at 3 o’clock also denotes this as a U.S. DADC pressing.  The matrix code is “DIDP 50063 11A2″.  This disc was preceded by a Japanese CBS/Sony pressing under the same catalog number.  In my experience, the U.S. pressing is much rarer than the Japanese pressing.  This is likely due to this issue being replaced by the Columbia Jazz Masterpieces release (Columbia, catalog number CK 40578) shortly after CD production shifted from Japan to the U.S.

The Dead Milkmen Eat Your Paisley! (Restless, catalog number 72131-2).  The disc was pressed in South Korea at the SKC plant.  While the disc appears to be an early West Germany pressing by virture of there being no clear plastic ring at the center, it has “Manufactured in South Korea” printed at 4 o’clock.  The matrix code is “72131-2 1128 104 01 *”.  This is the first U.S. issue of Eat Your Paisley!, but it appears that this CD was also distributed in Europe since it also bears 2131-2 as a European catalog number.  Early South Korean pressings like this one are quite rare.

Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits (Liberty/EMI, catalog number CDP 7 46004 2).  The disc was pressed in Japan by Denon and is an early issue from the BMG mail-order music club.  The statement “Mfd. for RCA Direct Marketing, Inc. under License” printed on the disc at 4 o’clock typically appeared on CDs and inserts issued by BMG.  The catalog number does not appear on the disc, but it is printed on the cover of the booklet.  Shown on the disc is the BMG stock number, 150019D.  The matrix code is “D1-50019 1A3 75″.  This disc is unique by virtue of the red text.  The original West German Polygram pressing and subsequent U.S. pressings have black text.

Joe Satriani “Surfing With The Alien” (Relativity, catalog number 88561-6193-2). Issued in 1987 and pressed in the U.S., this is a CD single for the title track from Satriani’s breakthrough album.  This single bears the same catalog number as the album CD.  The matrix code is “8193 111341 SA10629″.  This picture disc is very rare.

Visage Visage (Polydor, catalog number 800 029-2).  The disc resembles an early West German Polygram plant pressing by virtue of there being no plastic ring at the center, but note that the disc has “MADE IN GERMANY” stamped on the play side near the hole.  More importantly, this disc is a very rare manufacturing error in that it has no black paint on the label side.  As a result, there is no text identifying the album or songs.  The matrix code is “800 029-2 04 #”.  Thus, the catalog number contained in the matrix code identifies the disc as the Visage album.
