Identifying plants without name or mould IFPI written

This list tells how to identify a pressing plant when the plant's name is not written explicitely in the matrix, and no mould IFPI is present. Please note that in some cases a disc may have been pressed at another plant then where it was mastered; in these cases place of manufacture cannot be identified without a mould IFPI.  Vinyl matrices  08 Mastered by Sony, Holland  062 Mastered by Sonopress, Germany  108 Mastered by Sonopress, Germany  109 Mastered by Sonopress, Germany  110 Mastered by Sonopress, Germany  111 Mastered by Sonopress, Germany  201 Mastered by Sonopress, Germany  202 Mastered by Sonopress, Germany  207 Mastered by Sonopress, Germany  320 Mastered by Universal Hannover, Germany  850 Lacquer master cut by Iberofon, Spain, usually for Eurogram  ch Mastered by Carol Hibbs at K Disc, USA  DMM, DM, DMI, etc Mastered using Direct Metal Mastering  Hw Mastered by Howie Weinberg at Masterdisk, USA  JG Mastered by John Golden at K Disc, USA (in Nirvana's case)  kdisc Mastered by K Disc, USA  L-***** Plated by Lee Plating, USA  R-***** Plated and/ or pressed by Rainbo Records, USA  RE1, RE2, etc First, second, etc remake of a lacquer/ metal plate  SR1, SR2, etc Written on lacquers sent to Specialty, USA (often by Masterdisk, USA)  SRC (logo) Pressed by Specialty, USA (looks more like ®©)  SST Mastered by Schallplatten Schneid Technik, Germany  Stu.
