Rare Cd and Jewel case (Jewel case with smooth edges and "Patent pending" on the back.)
Pressed By – Nippon Columbia Co., Ltd.
CD Nippon Columbia Co., Ltd. pressed from 1982-1983 had their catalog numbers stamped in the plastic outer ring mould.
From 1984-1987 CD pressings had the dot matrix font and would be the "catalog number" and then a "number/letter/number" (for example, 1A1) and then a "number/number" for the last digit of the year and the month up to September (or if October, November or December, then "X" "Y" or "Z").
Later pressings have the same organization as '84-'87, but are now etched rather than dot matrix style.
