There are only two official UK-made CD albums: "Like A Virgin"
and "True Blue". This one
states "Printed in England" on the sleeve and also "Manufactured by
Nimbus, England" on the CD & sleeve. This is the English pressing of
"Like A Virgin" printed and a single batch when "Into The Groove" was first added to the album in 1985. The normal German pressing plant which presses all of Madonna's CD albums didn't have time to change the design to incorporate the new song to deal with the demand so Nimbus were drafted in to cover the gap with a single batch of pressings. Once the German plant was able to change the design and start re-pressing the new 10-track CD the rear sleeve was changed to the dull white rear sleeve which was used up until the recent re-masters. What this has meant is that a single batch came out with the old style 'floral' rear design but with the 10 tracks. This is not to be confused with the US floral rear 9-track CD for example as that is standard. The UK one, with the full 10 tracks is very scarce! It is also pressed of much shinier silver card of a much higher quality than the US one. |
