~ Release by Peter Gabriel (see all versions of this release, 9 available)

Annotation

Released as single disc version in a standard jewel case with clear tray, including a 12-page full colour booklet with per-track credits. This release has no O-ring slipcase (probably, not verifiable).

Booklet, page 11: "The CD includes access to an interactive version of 'The Tower That Ate People' which can be played on Mac OSX or Windows computers (Windows 95 or better)." ← despite this information, there is no data track on the CD. It's an ordinary Red Book Audio CD, though uncredited.
Presumably the content of the last page of the booklet (general credits) was inherited from the 2-CD version, which is also indicated by the incorrect catalogue number for this version (same page, see below).

Matrix

Matrix code: EMI UDEN 5952382 @1 1-1-10-NL
Mastering SID: IFPI L047
Disc ID: pUxLYOfD012FwBTe9wggA.SATs0-
Mould SID: ifpi 1503

Manufactured by EMI Uden (company named in matrix code, characteristic stamper code, mould SID with logo-style "ifpi" and code "15xx").

Early Represses

Known represses have stamper codes without separating hyphens, e.g.:

Matrix code: EMI UDEN 5952382 @1 010128-NL
Mastering SID: IFPI L047
Mould SID: ifpi 1565

Glass mastered by EMI Uden, pressed in Uden (stamper code with "-NL", mould SID "ifpi 15xx"), probably by MediaMotion

Later Represses

MediaMotion introduced new SID codes "AAHxx" for all of their plants and even the "-NL signature" of Uden discs was sometimes omitted.
Discs pressed in Uden can still be identified by a logo-style "ifpi" in the mould code.

¹) In June 2004, MediaMotion took over EMI's manufacturing activities in Uden. It is not known for certain when the format of the stamper code was changed. Therefore discs with the new code format and "ifpi 15xx" could have been pressed before June 2004.
