No.

 

Looks like an old French issue...

 

What is it then?
Never seen an atlantic like this!!!

 

Afraid not! I've got a copy of III that looks a lot like that, and NY's HARVEST, too...nothing really special about it....

 

please define a "target" CD

 

How do these rate?

 

W. Germany first pressing. I have the identicle disc. Secret for you though... All the original pressings are identicle globally including the W. Germany Atlantic Gold CD.

 

This is a "Target" pressing. They come in various different colors and schemes as well. This appears to be a silver base with red cross-hairs. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4723087183&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

 

I have Targets!
Is there a LZ IV Thats a true Target?

 

Yes there is a W. German Target version.

 

why are targets so treasured?

 

They were interesting visually. Many of them were made using a different looking style of label (with the same digital master).

Collectable only between collectors.

 

Mastering that is well done on the majority of these. ie. no NR, hyper-compression to gain volume etc.

 

NR=?
I can only think of "no reserve" and I'm pretty sure that isn't it

 

NR = Noise Reduction (Dolby, Sonic Solutions etc.)

 

That disc could be a later West German pressing that was released in Europe after the target went out of print. In other words, it's release could have coincided with U.S. non-target pressings.

 

Dave, In reference to that Prince target disc you linked to... do you have knowledge of that particular disc? If so, do you recommend it? I was looking to stock up on some Prince CD's and wondering if this target CD sounds good or not. The Ebay price is right - so far.
