Reissues and Represses

Discs of the original CD release were manufactured by Specialty Records Corporation. The album was reissued and repressed several times. At the end of 1996 the plant was officially renamed to WEA Mfg. Olyphant. Later glass master versions have no SRC credit.

In 2003 the plant was sold to Cinram. Discs repressed after 2003 have an additional 'CI' stamped into the matrix.

Remark: Although all these version were manufactured at the same plant, some versions have a different Disc ID because of an extended pregap (+32 sectors). Nevertheless actual track lengths remained unchanged. At least the first two versions are known to have unchanged artwork too.
