Matrix / Runout
800 041-2 06 *

This is the last pressing, I could find with the old Barcode and without PDO Imprint in the Matrix.
I think, the first PDO pressing (05 in Matrix with new barcode) was initiated for a reduced price in 1986. I didn’t found a PDO version with 06 in Matrix. If it exists, it also should be of 1987. The next PDO versions have 07 in the Matrix and I think they were released in 1988 . The PDO with 08 should be released in 1990, because the pressing plant's name changed to PRS and there are also existing PRS versions with 08 in the Matrix.
