Note this Album is released in Nov 1993, just before the start of SID codes officially appearing in April 1994. Many copies of this seem to have no Mould SIDs on one or more CDs in the box. Mastering SIDs even rarer.

Most copies have Father:Mother:Stamper numbers in the matrix (939287 2 . 4 :1:33) The above example is missing this (as seen in the photos)

Production continued into the year, more of the CDs had SID codes appear and the numbers in the matrix increased. Finally Mastering SIDs made an appearance.

As SIDs first became compulsory in April 1994 variants of this release shows Swindon adding the ability to different machines during the start of the year.
