WHO's NEXT Manufactured in Japan

Just out of curiosity...
How many here (besides Luke) have THE "Manufactured in Japan for MCA Records" 1984 MCA CD?

Total Time 43:25

I have a copy

 

Me too.

the other Wes

 

I got one!

 

Yeah, two in fact. One is mint and the other is pretty beat up though it plays fine.

 

I have one.

mud-

 

Found one in the used bins this past December

 

I've got one. I've also got one of the "bad" made in Japan pressings too!

 

I had one. Disappeared during a move or a break-up or something over the years, before I realized what it was.

Fortunately, I've now got a Canadian copy that's plenty good enough.

Got it. Glad I kept it!

 

mine is the bmg made in usa but the time is 43:25 so it is the same I guess.

 

I bought one back then, too.

yeah, had to have one along with the others mentioned here. i've got like this big pile of hoffman stuff now. some stuff i don't even listen to. it's sad really. but, who's next i do play. you gotta have steve's "won't get fooled again" on cd. meaty is a must too. . .

 

I never would have known about mine if I hadn't come to the Hoffman forum. And thanks for the easy way to find out, by checking the timing. I always thought it was a good sounding CD without knowing SH had done the mastering. Got it out of sheer dumb luck when it was released originally, and probably one of the first hundred discs I bought. Not quite as good as live at the Forest Hills tennis stadium in summer of (I think) '74 when they played it live. That was a great show, even better than Tommy at the Met. Long Live Rock.

 

My copy clocks in at 43:25, but is a Digital Audio Disc Corp. pressing,made in USA. The disc has "Manufactured in USA For MCA Records", and DIDX-152 on the label and etched into the disc inner ring. There is no barcode, and the jewel case is one of the old style ones with the smooth edges. I bought the CD used for $4.00. I would assume from the timing, and the fact that it sounds great, that this pressing is also from Steve's mastering. I don't have another copy to compare with, but this one suits my needs just fine.

 

Interesting...I wonder how that USA disc got the Hoffman master.

I have 4 discs:

1. MCAD-37217 Manufactured in Japan for MCA Records 43:25.
2. MCAD-37217 Manufactured in USA for MCA Records 43:15.
3. MCAD-37217 Manufactured by Cinram for MCA Records Canada 43:26

All CDs above have no barcode (A long-box gave birth to these babies)

4. MCABD-37217 Manufactured by Cinram for MCA Records Canada 43:26 (with barcode)

CDs 3 and 4 are one and the same.
