When I came home last night after an important meeting, I was surprised that dinner was not yet ready on the table. But the reason soon became clear to me when my wife Gretta told me that Albert Weinstein had called to ask if we both wanted to have dinner with him that night. She also told me that Albert, who encourages people to call him Al, had confided in her that he had a surprise in store for me.<br />
<br />
Not much later we drove through the dark evening to the spacious country villa where Al had moved in after he had retired more than 20 years ago. Upon arrival, I could immediately see that he was not alone and that more people had been invited.<br />
<br />
Of the many guests present I only recognized the painter Mi-gratte and his wife Ge-argett-e. Both were sitting at their familiar place by the fireplace with their faithful dog Ragett at their feet. In their eyes I saw that they were looking forward to what was to come. In the meantime Al had also read the amazement on my face and introduced me briefly to the other guests.<br />
<br />
First there was Dave, the oldest of the group. It was a jovial guy, about the same age as Al, who spoke very passionately about the joy he had experienced in sharing countless facts with his colleagues with the same passion.<br />
<br />
I also had an interesting conversation with Steve. He was a very clever man with well thought out and outspoken opinions that included scientific, sporting, political and musical matters.<br />
<br />
Alex and his friend Mitch came from the same city, they told me, and had been in close contact for years, constantly exchanging new ideas and plans for the future.<br />
<br />
Finally, there was Tim, a rather mysterious guy who wasn't easy to figure out. The only thing I learned from him was that he regularly sat down with Dave discussing their common interests.<br />
<br />
It still wasn't clear to me why I had been invited to this party and Al hadn't missed it. That's why he scraped his throat and asked for the attention of the whole company.<br />
<br />
"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, "tomorrow we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the book published by my best friend, Lord Garett, which turned the world completely upside down and represented a revolution in the art form that so inspires us all. It is with particular pleasure that I greet all those who have contributed to this success from far and near. And I can assure you that it took me a lot of effort to get these people together on this memorable day".<br />
<br />
Al paused for a moment and took a small sip of the champagne that had flowed richly in the meantime. The toast with exquisite caviar was also very much appreciated by those present, as could be inferred from the various dishes that were almost empty.<br />
<br />"I'm not going to give a long speech here", Al continued, "the caterer waits in the dining room with a delicious meal and it would be a shame not to enjoy it extensively".<br />
<br />
Al then stepped back for a moment and took a small packet out of the mahogany cupboard that had adorned the reception room for decades. "Here," he said, "this is a gift that my friends brought for you from the country they came from. After much searching, they found it in a place where it had been hiding for years."<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I opened the package and at first I didn't know what to say. After I had recovered from the first surprise, I looked around for a moment and saw the questioning look in everyone's eyes.<br />
<br />
"Al," I stammered, "didn't I tell you last week that at the meeting of the Anonymous Collectors Association this afternoon, I was going to receive a certificate officially declaring me free of the virus that has captivated me for more than 10 years?"<br />
<br />There were many cries of disillusionment and proclamations of astonishment following my statement, but that didn't prevent the whole group from enjoying the rest of the evening with delicious dishes, topped with the most exquisite wines.<br />

<br />
"What do you mean by that?"<br />
<br />
<i>"Well, based upon the title of the article you are writing now, I thought I could find some more information about the CD "Ten Out of 10" by the English rock band 10cc, but when I look around here, I can only see a lot of target CDs, while the CD I have in mind has a green arrow design."</i><br />
<br />
"I understand your confusion, but with this title I am actually referring to a series of 10 different target CDs that I discovered a few years ago and of which I was able to add 9 titles to my collection until recently. And now I have found the tenth title, hence the title at the top of this article."<br />

<br />
"I don't know of anyone else, but there's no doubt that more collectors will eventually get the full set together."<br />
<br />
<i>"Apart from these ten titles, are there other Target CDs that are still missing in your Collection?"</i><br />
<br />
"I'm not aware of any other title with the Target design, that is in the hands of other collectors of which I don't have a copy."<br />
<br />
<i>"So then your Target CD Collection is the only one in the world that contains at least one copy of each known CD title with a target design?"</i><br />
<br />
"Yes, probably, but you have to take into account that in the future new titles may be discovered with the target design."<br />

As already has been explained <a href="http://www.thetargetcdcollection.com/2015/05/may-14-2015-roll-another-number.html">somewhere else</a> on this website, the number of variations that can be found for CDs like these, is almost limitless.<br />

"<i>René, I must do something!</i>"<br />
<br />
René Mi<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">gratte</span> looked up from the newspaper he was reading and turned his attention to the place where his life-long friend Albert Weinstein was sitting.<br />
<br />
"<i>You must do something about what</i>", he asked.<br />
<br />
"<i>Well, you know that my friend, Lord <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Garett</span>, is running a website on which he publishes all Target CDs that he has gathered in his Collection</i>", Al continued.<br />
<br />
"<i>Yes, you have mentioned that to me several times in the past</i>", René admitted, "<i>but why should something be done now?</i>"<br />
<br />
"<i>Yesterday I realized that on new year's day it will be exactly five years ago that this website was launched and I thought it appropriate to give my friend a present to mark the occasion. Do you perhaps have any suggestions?</i>"<br />
<br />
"<i>Target CDs are those brightly colored CDs with a number of small squares printed in such a way that they look like a gunsight?</i>", René wanted to know.<br />
<br />
"<i>Yes, they are.</i>"<br />
<br />
"<i>Well, if you could give me a few of your old CDs, I could paint them in any color you like and I could do the lettering in any font you want and then you could give these to your friend to add to his Collection.</i>"<br />
<br />
"<i>That would be very nice, but these would not be real Target CD</i>s".<br />
<br />
"<i>I know, but the thing that you are smoking now, is not a pipe either</i>", René replied, "<i>it's a cigar!</i>".<br />
<br />
Al took the smoking device out of his mouth, looked at it and didn't know what to say.<br />
<br />
All the time René's wife Ge<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">argett</span>e, who was sitting in an armchair by the fireplace with her dog <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Ragett</span> lying at her feet, had been listening to the conversation between Al and her husband without saying a word. But now she thought she had to intervene. She coughed to attract the attention of the two men.<br />
<br />
"<i>Al," </i>she said<i>, "do you remember that when René, you and I were visiting the US some thirty years ago, you were very surprised to see that a CD album was pressed in the USA rather than in Germany. I recollect you saying that it had to be a printing error since the West German version of the same album had a different background color.</i>"<br />
<br />
"<i>Yes, I do remember that</i>", Al responded, "s<i>o what about it?</i>".<br />
<br />
"<i>Oh,</i>" Ge<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">argett</span>e replied, "<i>later that day I went back to that store to buy that particular CD. I must admit that I haven't played it much but it certainly must be around here somewhere... I think the last time I saw it, it was in that cupboard over there...</i>".<br />

When my wife Gretta discovered that I had added the following Target CD variations to my Collection, she went to the doctor asking him if there would ever come an end to this story.<br />

I am not going to teach you how to form the comparative or superlative of an adjective, there are lots of grammar books available that you can consult if you want to acquire this skill. Nor am I going to dwell on the importance of Howard Jones as a singer/songwriter, the internet is full of expert information where you can learn everything you want to know about this artist's life and work.<br />
<br />
No, I am going to stick to matters at hand and focus on the different US Target pressings of Howard Jones' second studio album <i>Dream into Action</i>. US Target pressings were issued during a very short period and in almost all cases each album is only available with one color scheme. <i>Dream into Action</i> is the exception to this rule, because there are no less than three different color combinations used for this album. <br />
<br />
First there is the variation with teal coating, purple targets and black lettering. As is the case with all US Target pressings, a US Target pressing of this album is quite rare, but chances are that if you find a copy, it will have the color scheme like the one that is pictured here.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsuqCcfGrtzaHVDbIEy2SG8P6XNdQglgRVhKCI41fZJYs9J-HiuA8usSQ4iGTIrn2IilDaXb1FeMMy00ZathCkiOZWlzMnGD0iJylWKoR4sN_wyS5CdMkz7f2Km9mo2nva6rw9iD4XvIpH/s1600/hjdadc.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsuqCcfGrtzaHVDbIEy2SG8P6XNdQglgRVhKCI41fZJYs9J-HiuA8usSQ4iGTIrn2IilDaXb1FeMMy00ZathCkiOZWlzMnGD0iJylWKoR4sN_wyS5CdMkz7f2Km9mo2nva6rw9iD4XvIpH/s400/hjdadc.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Much rarer is the second variation with purple coating, teal targets and silver paint lettering.<br />
<br />
It is unclear whether this is a manufacturing error or the result of a test pressing, but given the many color variations that also exist on West German target pressings, one can assume that during the printing process the wrong ink was accidentally put in the wrong pot and that QC didn't pay too much attention to this type of small deviations.<br />
<br />
At first glance it may seem that the color combination used on this variation is the same as the one that is used on U2 <i>War</i> which is the only Target that was released on the Island label, but when comparing both schemes it isn't difficult to see that the color of the targets on both albums are quite different. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlle4y3ZzBuAEcjklwQNwgkIjSd5f8-w3OhcCrJidsyFrcqyzIvZqhP7B0EVbRCJ5evPS4pqxQgarbrG-tc5igysV-_VEOGdtyhW_oQH6ufulJmL2rxwpnSYf8y_HX1eyVNXQIkWztnsw/s1600/jones.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlle4y3ZzBuAEcjklwQNwgkIjSd5f8-w3OhcCrJidsyFrcqyzIvZqhP7B0EVbRCJ5evPS4pqxQgarbrG-tc5igysV-_VEOGdtyhW_oQH6ufulJmL2rxwpnSYf8y_HX1eyVNXQIkWztnsw/s400/jones.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The third variation is the 'Reverse' pressing of the second variation that is shown above. Instead of a purple coating with teal targets, the coating is now teal and the targets purple, while the lettering is the same on both variations.<br />
<br />
Although the color scheme on this variation is the standard color scheme that is used on all West German Target pressings of albums that were released under the WEA label, I think this variation is the rarest of all three. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg38k8lIJLbG8uNBI9mL7gVRi7z5R5rnbPOLnv3evKY_ClKQN6aWijpfAq6wLfs0CxOPgjTgNeJeCxaa6aU3sQt-BACjBGpiSPxyviDdAgcxtMCYtOXHOl814ACC234bWzGMgybTeIgvAyv/s1600/hjdadf.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg38k8lIJLbG8uNBI9mL7gVRi7z5R5rnbPOLnv3evKY_ClKQN6aWijpfAq6wLfs0CxOPgjTgNeJeCxaa6aU3sQt-BACjBGpiSPxyviDdAgcxtMCYtOXHOl814ACC234bWzGMgybTeIgvAyv/s400/hjdadf.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Though it may seem that the teal coating on the first variation with the black lettering looks slightly different than the one that is used on the last variation, a thorough comparison reveals that the coating color used on all West German pressings, US Pressing 1 and US Pressing 3 of this album is exactly the same. <br />
<br />
The matrix number for all three variations is "7559 240632-2 2895 468 03 *" while none of them has an additional hub inscription. However, since many US Target pressings not only have the text 'MADE IN USA BY PDO' printed along the perimeter but also have this text etched around the center hole on this playside of the disc, it is likely that the targets featured in this article can also be found with this inscription.</div>

"<i>So, you are going to write an article about </i><i><i>Ludwig van Beethoven's final symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, also
known as "the Choral"? It was completed in 1824 and is one of the
best-known works in classical music. Among critics, it is almost
universally considered Beethoven's greatest work, and many consider it
one of the greatest compositions in the western musical canon.</i></i>"<br />
<br />
"<i>No, this article is not about </i><i><i>Beethoven's Ninth Symphony."</i></i><br />
<br />
"<i>Then perhaps this article is going to express your ideas about Franz Schubert's </i><i>final Symphony No. 9 in C major, D. 944, known as "the Great"?
Originally called The Great C major to distinguish it from his Symphony
No. 6, the Little C major, the subtitle is now usually taken as a
reference to the symphony's majesty. Unusually long for a symphony of
its time, a typical performance of The Great takes around 55 minutes,
though it can also be played in as little as 45 minutes by employing a
faster tempo and not repeating sections as indicated in the score.</i>"" <br />
<br />
"<i>Again you're wrong. This article won't tell anything about Schubert's Ninth Smphony."</i><br />
<br />
"<i>Maybe you are inspired by </i><i><i>Antonín </i>Dvořák's </i><i>Symphony No. 9 in E minor, "From the New World," Op. 95? He composed it in 1893 while he was the director of the
National Conservatory of Music of America from 1892 to 1895. It is by
far his most popular symphony, and one of the most popular of all
symphonies. By the way, did you know that Neil Armstrong took a
recording of this symphony to the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission, the
first Moon landing, in 1969?</i>"<br />
<br />
"<i>Once again the answer is negative. I'm not going to write about </i><i>Dvořák's Ninth Symphony."</i><br />
<br />
"<i>Good Lord Garett, I give up. But can you please tell me what the title of this article is referring to?</i>"<br />
<br />
"<i>The answer is fairly simple, Al. In this article I am announcing the acquisition of the ninth title of the compilation series La Route des Tubes, Musique de Film, WEA, 241632-2 which was released in 1989 by WEA for the French market. And since the complete series consists of ten titles in total, I have one more title to go before My Collection features at least one variation of all 310 target CD titles that are known to date.</i>" <br />

Kate Markowitz (28 April 1956) is an American singer. She had a platinum-selling single in Germany in the 1990s. The single began as a Bacardi Rum jingle that she recorded for the European market. The jingle was so popular that she was asked to transform it into a song called <i>Summer Dreaming </i>about "summer love" rather than rum. She co-wrote the lyrics and recorded it under the pseudonym <b>Kate Yanaï</b>.<br />

When I returned home from work a couple of days ago, my wife Gretta immediately wanted to have a word with me.<br />
<br />
"<i>Have you completely lost your mind?</i>", she cried out. I looked at her, not understanding what had made her so angry. "<i>This afternoon I wanted to listen to some music"</i>, she continued, <i>"and in my search for a CD by Véronique Sanson, I have found these eight copies of the same CD in your collection...</i>" <br />

"<i>I have listened to all eight of them and to me they all sounded exactly the same. So, can you tell me why you bought this CD over and over again?</i>"<br />
<br />
I knew it would not be easy to convince her of the necessity to have so many variations, but I decided to give it a try.<br />
<br />
"<i>Oh no, these CDs are all different. Take a look at each of them carefully and you'll see that they all have a different number embossed in the transparent hub...</i>".<br />
<br />
"<i>In the transparent what?</i>", my wife interrupted me, "<i>could you please explain to me what this nonsense is all about?</i>"<br />
<br />
I saw that she was getting furious and therefore it would be the best not to try to explain it any further, hoping the storm was going to lay down soon. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile my friend Dr. Albert Weinstein who has free access to our house, had joined us and had taken place in his favorite armchair close to the fireplace. When my wife noticed his presence, she turned to him. "<i>Mon cher docteur </i>(she always calls him like that)<i>, what is your opinion on this matter? Can you tell me what all this number business is about?</i>"<br />
<br />
Al took a deep breath before he started his explanation.<br />
<br />
"<i>Well"</i>, he began, <i>"this number simply indicates the minute of the hour on which the press that had a built-in clock, was started on each working day. A working day always started at 07.00 but because of preparatory work, the exact time the press was switched on could vary from 07.00 up to 07.59, although it seldom occurred the pressing process started later than 07.30. This minute number was subsequently embossed on each CD that was manufactured during that day and can either be printed with a large or small font. The top of the font can be oriented either towards the center or towards the edge of the disc and the number is either readable from the label side or from the data side. This means that for this CD alone a total of 60 (minutes) * 2 (fonts) * 2 (orientation) * 2 (readable from label/data side) = 480 variations are possible. By the way, </i><i>if there is no number present, it means that the press was started between 07.00 and 07.01 because there was no preparatory work to be done on that day."</i><br />
<br />
My wife was listening very carefully and I could see that her anger was slowly melting away.<br />
<br />
<i>"Furthermore," </i>Al continued,<i> "after the IFPI code was introduced in 1996, the month and year were printed next to the catalog number and because this particular CD is still in print, an additional 20 (years) * 12 (months) * 2 (mirror/no mirror band) = 480 IFPI variations must be taken into account.</i>"<br />
<br />
"<i>You forgot the '<b>w'</b> embossing on the old-style variations</i>", I added.<br />
<br />
"<i>Oh yes, of course, and since this <b>'w'</b> is optional, there could be 960 old-style and 480 new-style variations out there, or roughly speaking it means for this particular CD about 1,500 variations are possible and collecting them all could be a life-filling occupation.</i>"<br />
<br />
"<i>Do you also know what this <b>'w'</b> emblem stands for</i>", my wife wanted to know, who had calmed down in the mean time, impressed as she was with Al's expert explanation.<br />
<br />
"<i>Ah Lady Gretta, as I have already told you many times, I was a chief engineer with the RSA company and used to visit the pressing plant quite a lot in those days. And every day I was present this emblem was additionally embossed at the opposite side of the starting minute number.</i>"<br />
<br />
"<i>You don't mean to say that this <b>'w'</b> refers to your...</i>". I halted, because I was too astonished to finish my sentence. <br />
<br />
Al gave me one of his famous smiles and I saw a twinkle in his eye.<br />
<br />
"<i>Well</i>", he said, "<i>if you pour me a large brandy, I will tell you all you want to know about this <b>'w'</b></i>".<br />
<br />

It seems that there comes no end to discovering matrix variations on Japanese Target CDs of the XD-Series. During the past few months I have located these new variations.<br />

The table below lists the different Japanese Target CD Pressings that were released with a XD-catalog number. They were all manufactured by CBS/Sony and have a matrix number that consists of the catalog number followed by a code that identifies the glass master that was used for a particular disc. This code either consists of the number 11 or 21, optionally followed by the character A and a sequence number between 1 and 10.</div>

The value in the column <b>X</b> specifies whether the matrix code starts with 11 (1) or 21 (2).<br />
<br />
In the next 11 columns the 63 variations that are currently featured in The Target CD Collection are shown, whereby<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>N</b> means that no text is present in the transparent hub,</li>
<li><b>A</b> stands for a small <span style="font-size: x-small;">CSR</span> in the hub,</li>
<li><b>B</b> indicates the repeating text <span style="font-size: x-small;">CSR Compact Disc</span>,</li>
<li><b>C</b> is short for <span style="font-size: x-small;">Manufactured by CBS/Sony Records Inc.</span></li>
</ul>
If one of these characters is followed by a <b>b</b>, it means that there is some sort of barcode present on the inner mirror band, while a small <b>t</b> indicates that the matrix variation is also available with a perimeter text that is different than the one that is specified in the <b>T</b> column. </div>
<br />
<br />
It is worth mentioning here that Madonna's <i>Like a Virgin</i> (32XD-102) can also be found with matrix code 1A1 TO and a type <b>L</b> perimeter text , suggesting it is a Toshiba pressing.<br />

A few posts ago I announced the discovery of a set of ten new Targets CDs that were released in 1989 under the name of <i>La Route des Tubes</i>.<br />
<br />
At the time of the original post I had been able to track down six of these newly discovered Target CDs. Today I am adding two more CDs of this set to my collection.<br />

The first CD pressing plant in the world was owned by Polygram Records. This plant, which opened in August 1982, was located in Hanover, West Germany. CDs that were pressed by Polygram had the text "Made in West Germany by Polygram" printed on the label side of the disc. This text was integrated in the label design on CDs that were pressed for companies that did not belong to WEA. On the other hand, Targets CDs that were released by record companies of the WEA group have this text printed along the perimeter in the southern hemisphere of the disc. <br />
<br />
In October 1985 Polygram transferred control of their West German pressing plant to a joint venture between Philips and DuPont Optical (PDO). To make sure there was adequate pressing capacity to meet the increasing demand because of the growing popularity of the CD format, new plants were opened in the UK and in the USA.<br />
<br />
Targets CDs that were pressed in the USA have the text "Made in USA by PDO" printed along the perimeter but on West German Target pressings the name of the manufacturer was simply removed from the silk screen and in stead the text "Made in W. Germany by PDO" was etched around the center hole on the play side of the disc.<br />
<br />
Below are some examples of Targets CDs I acquired recently. They are all manufactured in West Germany by PDO but they also exist as a variation that was manufactured by Polygram.<br />

There are but a few West German Target CD pressings that can only be found without an outer mirror band. The first two studio albums of Dire Straits, Genesis's <i>Abacab</i> and Gold's <i>Capitaine Abandonné</i> are the only ones that spring to my mind. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, many pressings with a mirror band also exist as a variation where this mirror band is absent. It is interesting to notice though that, except for 2 of the above-mentioned albums, only pressings with MADE IN WEST GERMANY BY POLYGRAM or MADE IN WEST ☐ GERMANY, can be found without a mirror band and that the first generation of West German Targets CDs, i.e. those with MADE IN ☐ WEST GERMANY printed around the perimeter, only exist with a mirror band. <br />
<br />
The pictures below show some of my recent acquisitions of West German Targets CDs without an outer mirror band. They all have the text MADE IN WEST GERMANY BY POLYGRAM printed around the perimeter and, apart from the matrix number, have no extra text etched around the center hole.<br />

Most West German Target CD pressings have a band with a width of about 2 mm (0.08 in) on the outer edge of the disc, which is called the outer mirror band. Its only purpose seems to be to make the text that is printed around the perimeter more readable.<br />
<br />
The variations of Roxy Music's 1982 effort <i>Avalon</i> that are featured in this article, are different. In stead of a small band, the mirror band on these CDs is about 11 mm (0.43 in) wide.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4OnhC1o-HEvWfkKU_K4wMgG2nXqWY0WKwPYEDdfStf_lykfN5trjayOyqOvksMsZsB3q3NnvEp2r0FWPedkc38HkHl888F3PMvDIc6Cozpwu42TtIYXXIsnriUKD_UI1m5dXwsnXu05w/s1600/roxrev.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4OnhC1o-HEvWfkKU_K4wMgG2nXqWY0WKwPYEDdfStf_lykfN5trjayOyqOvksMsZsB3q3NnvEp2r0FWPedkc38HkHl888F3PMvDIc6Cozpwu42TtIYXXIsnriUKD_UI1m5dXwsnXu05w/s1600/roxrev.png" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
In fact the mirror band on these target variations is exactly the same as that of the <a href="http://www.thefirstpressingcdcollection.com/2011/06/roxy-music-avalon.html">red-faced Polydor pressing</a> of <i>Avalon</i>, with which they also share the same matrix number (800032 2 01).<br />
<br />
So far I have acquired three different variations of these wide mirror banded targets: the main catalog number on the first two copies is 9 23686-2 whereas on the third one the preceding 9 is omitted and is printed with a fond size that is visibly larger than the one used on the two others. The secondary catalog number on the first copy is 23686-2 and is put between brackets. On the two other copies this secondary catalog number is 800032-2, one with and the other without round brackets. <br />

One of the exciting things about collecting Target CDs is the fact that the various WEA labels on which Target CDs were released, all used a different color scheme.<br />
<br />
The table below lists all record labels that have released West German Target CDs together with the adopted color scheme. Some Target CDs can be found with an alternative color scheme. These are either errors or test pressings and fall outside the scope of this overview.<br />
<br />
The caption underneath the picture of each label design, shows for each artist the number of different West German Target CDs that were released on that label. <br />

<i>Dear Reader,</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Early last month I visited my friend to talk about the meaning of life and a few other things. </i><br />
<br />
<i>Suddenly he smiled and said: "Al, I have to show you something, just wait a second". He went to the room where he keeps his Target CD Collection, a room by the way which is safely secured to offer protection against fire, flood and fraud.</i><br />
<br />
<i>When he returned he had this CD that he wanted to show me. </i></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0AifBUEMZViymFTxTNx6KLX_rn1IZihQP33s-pV8SbG19BGToyk-ec5FmsXv06EhPeUGUszvc7R1gwoClRv5yBz_mHLUfEWi4k6cq9XeGu4p_Y8I7O0em1Lp-hT5hxyh8ZNEK1Bvqv0I/s1600/mozfeqcd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0AifBUEMZViymFTxTNx6KLX_rn1IZihQP33s-pV8SbG19BGToyk-ec5FmsXv06EhPeUGUszvc7R1gwoClRv5yBz_mHLUfEWi4k6cq9XeGu4p_Y8I7O0em1Lp-hT5hxyh8ZNEK1Bvqv0I/s400/mozfeqcd.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<i>"Look", he said, "this CD which I acquired a few months ago, represents a fantastic printing error. It is a target CD with no target squares at all. I have a regular version of this too, if you want I can fetch it so that we can compare both discs".</i><br />
<br />
<i>I took a quick look at the CD and immediately knew what I was looking at. It was an example of a very early Japanese pressing manufactured by Sanyo made at a time when the target squares still had to be invented. In fact, it was me who suggested to print these squares on subsequent pressings when I was visiting the Sanyo pressing plant, back in 1983.</i><br />
<br />
<i>When I told this to my friend, depriving him of his illusion that he had found a very rare printing error, he suddenly turned red, white and blue, began to gasp heavily and then fell to the floor, unconsciously.</i><br />
<br />
<i>I tried to keep as calm as possible and rang the emergency number. Luckily the ambulance arrived very quickly to take him to the hospital where he has been under observation for a few weeks now.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Earlier today when I went to visit him I spoke to one of his doctors who told me that they had finally diagnosed what was wrong with him. When I asked what is was, he said that my friend was suffering from Targetomania, in the severest form, a disease that will be difficult to cure. </i></div>
<br />
<i>Yours Sincerely,</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Dr. Albert Weinstein,</i><br />
<i>Honorary Fellow at the Miever Institute of Targetology (M.I.T.)</i><br />
<br />
<i>PS: Did you also notice the coating with a green marker pen on the edge of the CD? A previous owner must have been a firm believer of the theory that this would dramatically improve the sound quality. In the past I have done lots of experiments to verify this theory but have never found a confirmation and although I have warned for the irreparable damage the green substance could inflict on the protective lacquer of the CD in numerous articles that have appeared in many scientific magazines, many people seem to have disregarded this advice. </i><br />

Some time ago my heart began to beat a bit faster when I noticed an <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Phil-Collins-No-Jacket-Required-extremely-rare-CD-TARGET-MADE-IN-USA-by-PDO-/231096472015?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item35ce6c51cf" target="_blank">auction</a> for a very rare variation of the Phil Collins CD, <i>No Jacket Required</i>, which I had never seen before. The CD that was put up for sale had the text MADE IN USA BY PDO in stead of the common MADE IN WEST GERMANY BY POLYGRAM printed at the bottom. The auction was entered by <a href="http://www.ebay.com/usr/proshootercom"><i>proshootercom</i></a> which is the eBay alias of <a href="http://www.proshooter.com/">proshooter John Lacy</a> who tries to make a living running a photography shop in the neighborhood of Detroit, MI.<br />

<br />
You can understand that after the auction ended I was delighted to find out that I had placed the winning bid. In fact, apparently my bid had been the only one.<br />
<br />
The total amount of the invoice was $272.46 ($199.99 (item price) + $3.00 (shipping) + $52.54 (customs services) + $16.93 (international tracking)). After it was paid, I impatiently waited for the CD to arrive.<br />
<br />
It arrived today, but when I opened the jewel case I could not believe what I saw: it was a common variation of No Jacket Required, MADE IN WEST GERMANY BY POLYGRAM of which you can find as many copies on the internet as you like.<br />

<br />
<br />
I contacted the seller telling him that the CD that he sent me did not state MADE IN USA BY PDO as he had announced in his auction but simply said MADE IN WEST GERMANY BY POLYGRAM. I also argued that this variation was completely useless to me and had no value for me as a collector.<br />
<br />
Lacy disputed the claim that I had filed telling me that his ad described the condition accurately and that the disc plays cleanly. Of course he completely ignored the fact that the CD he sent me was not the CD he advertised but a cheap variation that everyone can find for less than $10. He also made it clear to me that in any case the amount I had paid for customs services ($52.54) and for international tracking ($16.93) was not refunded in case I returned the CD. He furthermore warned me that he would file a claim if the CD I returned was not the same as the one he had advertised.<br />
<br />
After I escalated my claim to Customer Support, I was very disappointed to find out that eBay decided the case in favor of the seller. When I demanded an explanation for this they said they had decided not to refund me, because I so-called didn't want to return the CD, which of course is not true. I did want to return the CD, but I wanted a full refund and not a partial one.<br />
<br />
Moreover, the negative feedback <i>"<u>Swindle! The CD I received is MADE IN WEST GERMANY BY POLYGRAM and not MADE IN USA BY PDO</u>!"</i> that I left for this transaction was also removed by eBay, which makes them complicit in this cowardly theft. <br />
<br />
I did not hesitate for one second and contacted eBay again with the demand to close down my account immediately. I will not purchase from an online site that supports and sustains shameless swindlers such as <a href="http://www.ebay.com/usr/proshootercom"><i>proshootercom</i></a> to carry out their fraudulent scams. <br />
<br />
I talked to my friend Al about this dreadful business a number of times during the past few days. When he suggested that I should issue a permanent warning to all guileless buyers who get swindled by criminal crooks using online sites to advertise collector's items but in stead deliver their worthless crap at expensive prices, I had to think of the Roman senator and soldier Cato the Elder.<br />
<br />
It was indeed Cato who warned his fellow citizens for the dangers that the city of Carthage posed to the security of Rome. And no matter what he was talking about, be it the price of rice, the color of money, la vie d'Adèle, ..., he always ended his speech with the phrase <i>Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam</i> (Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed).<br />
<br />
Eventually at the end of the war that is now known as the Third Punic War, Carthage was completely destroyed and Cato could finally rest in peace. <br />
