Order Tramadol Cod Online A popular subset of early CD pressings among collectors are those released by EMI primarily in the U.S. and Europe bearing a colored paint coating on the label side.  These CDs were pressed in Japan or West Germany.  Common colors for these discs are red and black (one color to a CD, not combinations).  An example of a disc with the red paint coating is the Japanese pressing of Queen Greatest Hits (EMI, catalog number CDP 7 46033 2).  A very popular disc with the black paint coating is the Japanese pressing of Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon (Harvest/EMI, catalog number CDP 7 46001 2).  Although red and black were typical, a handful of early EMI discs were produced with unique color coatings.  One such CD is the original West German pressing of Iron Maiden Powerslave released on the EMI label under catalog number CDP 7 46045 2.  Let’s explore this album and CD a little further.

http://waterloomilitaria.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1589405631.4172439575195312500000 Powerslave is arguably Iron Maiden’s best and most successful album.  It contains such classics as “Aces High”, “2 Minutes to Midnight”, and the excellent adaptation of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”.  The release of Powerslave in September of 1984 coincided with market penetration of the CD beginning to expand across the globe.  As such, EMI wasted little time releasing the popular album on CD in various markets.  As alluded to above, the original U.S. and European release was a West German pressing.  To fit the album artwork’s pseudo-Egyptian motif, EMI assigned a bronze paint coating to this West German pressing.*  No other EMI title was issued with the bronze coating.
