SPARS Code: AAD

Matrix:

Matrix Code (mirrored): 7461582 12 A2 DADC AUSTRIA <2x barcode>
(Variants with serial# other than A2 are possible)

no SID codes

Discs were pressed between 1990 and 1993 by DADC Austria – mother/stamper barcode introduced about 1990, IFPI implemented in 1994.

The barcode as printed is not readily scannable, as it is heavily cropped and missing the quiet zones either side, and both the start character and check digit. The visible barcode characters 7777461582 do not form a valid UPC-A 12-digit barcode, however the correct barcode as intended is likely to be 077774615822.
