Different Shades of Blue (Best Buy exclusive)

~ Release by Joe Bonamassa (see all versions of this release, 8 available)

Annotation

Manufacturing notes:
The disc carries the mastering SID code IFPI LN09, which is associated with a U.S. glass‑mastering line historically used by ILOVEIMPRINT.COM. This SID code appears consistently on discs known to be mastered through that facility. The matrix format (timestamp, duplicated machine code, internal job number, and job‑number/revision pair) matches the unbranded or brokered replication jobs produced on that line during the mid‑2010s.

The absence of the “WWW.ILOVEIMPRINT.COM” matrix stamp does not contradict this identification; that stamp appears only on direct‑to‑customer orders. Brokered or label‑ordered jobs—such as those for small independent labels—typically omit plant branding and include only the timestamp, internal job metadata, and SID codes.

Based on the SID code and matrix structure, the disc was glass mastered using the LN09 line operated by ILOVEIMPRINT.COM, with replication performed either in‑house or through a contracted partner. No mould SID code is present, so the specific replication plant cannot be identified.
