QuoteIrix Quoteironbelly C'mon, guys, that type of CD label has cult status among collectors. Only the prototypes of the 1st pressing in 1982 - € 3,200 - Large picture , Well, that prototype is a different story . That label design is legendary not only for ABBA. I wonder why they did not re-use it for Carnaby Exclusive. That was a kind of obvious marketing trick .

The very first appearance of the track on compact disc. Late 1983. The story behind the release is here The First Motown On CD The first appearance of The Rolling Stones cover on CD. Early to Mid-1984. The one and the only 'target label' CD of The Rolling Stones. Both CDs mentioned above are really hard to find if one is looking for the 1st pressing version.

Quoteretired_dog Glad that they get it out of the way, but please start the true 60th Anniversary releases soon afterwards! Do you really need another re-issue of well known material with (probably) dubious mastering choices? In the best case scenario you'll get separate discs from In Mono box for Decca/London period and repacked 2009 remaster for RSR era.

Guess, we'll get re-issue of 1971-2016 albums that will be based on 2009 remaster. And, maybe, re-issue of 1964-1970 albums either in 2002 or 2016 remaster. Anniversary edition of Greatest Hits is unavoidable. Also, 2002-2003 tour was not covered yet by archive series. So, a new version of Four Flicks is the most probable candidate.

OK, let’s do it technical way. I mean, let’s put aside our ears and audio systems and play with audio analysis software.
