Wish You Were Here (made in U.K.)

~ Release by Pink Floyd (see all versions of this release, 123 available)

Annotation

Printed in England and Made in the U. K.
According to other Releases of Pink Floyd, the Year of Release might be in 1992. Definitely not before 1985, because Barcodes weren't in use at that time.

Matrix / Runout Variants :
Variant 1: CDP 746035-2 @ 2 :11:8+
Variant 2: CDP 746035-2 @ 2 +19 +10
Variant 3: CDP 746035-2 @ 2 +20: 8 +
Variant 4: CDP 746035-2 @ 2 : 20 : 9 +
Variant 5: CDP 746035-2 @ 2 22+6+
Variant 6: CDP 746035-2 @ 2 22 : 10+

The Matrix / Runout Informations are hard to read correctly, because two different prints were put together and are sometimes overlapping. Also because of wrong distances the second Information of the pressing run is overlapping the initial Information 'CDP 746035-2 @ 2 + +'. So, the information of the pressing run might be on or before the '+'. Usually it should fix together like it's ment to be in the Variant 2 => +19 +10.
In Variant 3 it should be read instead for example: '+20 +8'
