Discs of this release were glass mastered by PDO Germany and pressed (several times) at the sister plant in Louviers, France. The earliest known release with discs pressed by PDO France has a different back inlay (no label code and SPARS code on back), but the version made by PRS is very similar (the only difference between the releases is the manufacturer credit on the disc).
