click Here is a first on keithhirsch.com.  For the first time, an early Canadian issue is posted.  It is a Japanese pressing of Santana’s 1981 album Zebop! that was released in Canada around 1984 or ’85.  This CD was issued on the Columbia label, part of CBS/Sony, under catalog number CK 37158.

go to link When considering early Japanese pressings of CBS/Sony titles, one normally considers U.S., European, and Japanese issues.  That is because these are the key markets that were represented by unique pressings (i.e., unique label designs and catalog numbers).  Of course, these early Japanese pressings were issued in other smaller markets as well.  For example, most Japan-for-Europe CBS/Sony CDs were also issued in Australia.  And, many Japan-for-U.S. CBS/Sony CDs were also issued in Canada.  This takes us to the featured Zebop! CD.

http://waterloomilitaria.com/?id_category=32 This Zebop! CD is a Canadian issue, but it bears the original U.S. catalog number and is the same disc as the original Japan-for-U.S. issue.  It is Canadian by virture of the inserts.  The inserts are similar to the ones issued in the U.S., and the key difference lies in the copyright statement.  The copyright statement on the U.S. inserts reflects the original pressing being made in Japan and starts off “Disc manufactured in Japan by CBS/Sony…”  For the Canadian issue, the copyright statement does not mention Japan and instead references CBS Records Canada Ltd. in Don Mills, Ontario.  The UPC on the back insert and the back cover of the booklet is unique to this Canadian issue.

go to link In my experience, this Japanese pressing of Zebop! is very rare.  I have come across copies with U.S. inserts on just a few occasions, and this copy with the Canadian inserts is the only such copy I have located.  Shown below is the cover, back insert, a spine label, and the Japanese pressing for this Canadian issue.
