1993
(Vigotone / Slick-O / Spank)
Now, we fast forward from 1990 to 1993. This is where the later or "classic" Vigotone titles start. This batch of titles share similar label designs, which is how you can see that Slick-O was clearly a Vigotone subsidiary. Not all of these were re-issued by Vigotone on CDR.
From Vigotone 100 on, all titles say "Made In Australia" on them. But, both Arrive Without Aging and Back-Track Part Three have "Made in Taiwan" as part of their matrix numbers. We've discovered that Vigotone was making their discs in Taiwan before they switched to the Australian numbering system. (Collectors' note: couterfeit Arrive Without Aging CDs were also made in Taiwan and the discs look identical to the real ones. You can tell a counterfeit by the packaging. The original is very sharp and clear, while the fake looks quite fuzzy.
The two releases with "Made In Taiwan" discs should resemble this. Be aware that fakes of Arrive Without Aging were also made in Taiwan and look identical to this. The only way to tell them apart is the packaging. The fakes have very fuzzy printing.
The 1993 "Made In Australia" releases will look like this. Notice the asterisk next to the backwards matrix number. 1993 releases are also distinguished by the "mirrored" band just outside of the matrix number. The inner area is clear plastic.

The original CD was Made in Taiwan (w/26 tracks). The 1996 (Made in Australia) reissue only had 25 tracks due to a snafu at the factory. The CDR version was back to having 26 tracks. |
