Servi I received my Austro mechana reel music! It has no perimeter writings as I told you before!
You said in a previous post that yours as the same matrices as the 1c German release! Unfortunately I don't have any German 1c to compare with mine!
What I can read is :
07 611-A-1 and 07 611-B-1 Hand-etched in the dead wax
Side 1 also has a D. Hand etched on the opposite diameter of the matrix number!

What about yours

Ps : I also got a copy of the 20 golden hits that was made in Germany (cover + disc) but intended to be issued in Austria with the addition of an odeon dom sticker on front bottom left and a Kurier sticker on front bottom right!
I love the Austrian discography :)

Never seen that before

Yes, exactly the same stampers as my copy. Nice you found this LP !
So this is probably pressed in Germany, to be sold via an Austrian record club.
The embossed EMI logo can be found on many German LP and 12" sleeves from the 1980s. Yes, I like it too.

The 20 Golden Hits with Kurier sticker was sold by the Austrian newspaper of that name. Probably they sold it in newspaper stands.
There is also a stickered version of this German LP that was sold in Switzerland, see below. Maybe the VSSL AFSD code was some kind of tax code.

So it makes no doubt now! A German guy told me he know three variations for this Austro mechana reel music that differs from the rim! One blank and two with different writings! I asked for more info and still no answer! I might have been mistaken!
Nice Swiss sticker!! Is it yours? Do you have a Kurier too?

If I am correct, the GEMA version exists in 3 variants, so it is possible there are 3 Austro copies as well. No, I don't have the Kurier copy. It's not really an official release but still a nice touch to this LP. Yes, the Swiss sticker is mine, but I only noticed its meaning years and years after I had bought it. It's a generic sticker and these things are not too interesting imo...
There is not much interest in these rereleases with most collectors. If you search well you can find some rare records quite cheap, because the demand is very low for this stuff.....
I remember visiting a big record shop in Salzburg, Austria around 1990 and buying recent German 2 box EMI pressings, with EMI logo embossed sleeves. Still have them..

It's official! I have here a third variation with text On each side of the odeon dom and on the rim! IMO these records are really nice because they are not sought after and because almost nobody take care of them!
