Question about ''Made in Austria'' cds

[[Alex]]

I have this CD that says its French:

But on the CD it says Made in Austria. I'm confused.

 

And also, how to find out if the CD I have is UK or Australian edition, as both of them have the same cat. number.

A lot of European cds are fabricated in Austria. That doesn't have to mean that the original release country is Austria. So in this case the release country is France, but it's made in Austria.

 

Most vynil singles are fabricated in Holland, but most of them were never released here, but only in France hahahaha and I thought most cassettes were made in the UK, but I could be wrong.

How about differences between UK and Australian CDs?

[Davey84]

well Australia isn't quit next to the UK or Europe now, is it? If it says made in Australia, then you can 99% say that it was made AND released in Australia. (Same goes for USA, Canada)

Cause SONY has a big CD production factory in Austria, so most of the Euro editions from SONY are made in Austria.

 

And Austria has nothing to do with Australia.

But it doesn't say made in Australia or in the UK anywhere

For example: I have this CD (info taken from collector's guide)

 

The Colour of My Love (1993)

UK Epic 474743 2 CD

Australia Epic 474743 2 CD

 

And there's nowhere written made in Australia or in UK on the CD or on the cover.

[Bellamy]

Those are released in Australia or in UK, not made there. Where it is released has nothing to with where it is made. Just like you see made in some made in China products are for sell everywhere, but in China.

Okay, thanks. Than I should write it down The Colour of My Love [uK/Australian CD]

[Bellamy]

I think your CD is the Euro edition made in Austria.

But European CDs of TCOML have been released by Columbia and mine is Epic.

[Hilda]

well if its epic and it was an original 1993 edition then it will be uk. and it will have just walk away on it and it will have a silver disc with blue strip down it.

 

Back in the day uk and australia were epic releases altho both had different logos for each so u could usually tell as well as the US having a different epic logo also. But then columbia took over the european 'epic' market so nowadays if you walk into a store in the uk - all celines back catalogue will be columbia.

 

 

so basically i reckon u have a uk edition but if its epic it will have been released pre 2003
