BaOI: Only one space between strings is recommended.

P.S. BaOI: LBR DF## and DFM## - It has been determined that these are not SID codes and we cannot label them as IFPI codes. LBR DF## and DFM## are individual codes used by the unknown pressing plant.

RSG §5.10 Absence Of Identifiers vs. BaOI 'none ("...but only when this is needed for differentiation of the release from other versions.).
none - Mould/Mastering SID codes: "In the case of this company, there should be an entry confirming "none" to be sure that another external company did not make the stamper/matrix"
In specific cases where companies have obviously cooperated with each other.
Users are often unable to read the very small letters/digits used in codes. They simply ignore the fact that they exist and do not include them in the BAOI.

Other (Mould text - "IFPI" is scratched out): ZY02
Mould SID code devoid of letters IFPI ceases to be that code. It's a manifesto of cutting off from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.
Example: Antropofagus - Origin

Mould SID Code - The letters "IFPI" were removed unprofessionally by the workers of Akord (2) pressing plant in 2015/2016 from the SID code of the mould.
IFPI - "is scratched"/ a blob / a stain...

IFPI I 700/I Z00/L700/LZ00/: Under a microscope, the code looks like it's cropped at the bottom: https://i.discogs.com/Gq9kmfT2dwCv8mkAFJV--3i8hWxCqJ4QpeTbgOJ8uK0/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:590/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTI2MjIx/MDg4LTE2NzczMzcy/MDctNzA0My5qcGVn.jpeg

In the beginning there was a Black Mark Label sub-company in 1984 for a parent company Tyfon Grammofon AB.
The existence of the Black Mark Label began with the release of Bathory - Bathory.

Information from the book - BATHORY hagiography - "Del Hades al Valhalla" from 2016 by José Luis Cano Barrón.
As part of the correction: Despite the admiration and respect for the titanic work that the author has done, the book has several errors (for which the author himself apologizes in advance).
Rectification:Due to its incorrect translation and interpretation ... Sorry! "Boss, however, did not participate personally in the writing of this book. Though many other people helped the author from Quorthon's entourage.

In addition, in 2003 there were 5 different editions in CD format, 3 German, one German-Swedish, one English and one Russian.

The first digitally re-mastered albums, released in the summer of 2003, were:
- BATHORY;
- THE RETURN OF THE DARKNESS AND EVIL;
- UNDER THE SIGN OF THE BLACK MARK;
- BLOOD FIRE DEATH;
- HAMMERHEART;
- TWILIGHT OF THE GODS.
Next followed the albums:
- REQUEIM;
- OCTAGON;
- BLOOD ON ICE;
- as well as the JUBILEUM VOLUME I double album, JUBILEUM VOLUME II double album and JUBILEUM VOLUME III released in the Autumn of 2003.

Successively, all BATHORY CD’s out on the market will be replaced with the digitally re-mastered and enhanced cover artwork versions. A tell-tale sign to denote a wrapped CD as a digitally re-mastered CD, is to look for production year on the reverse. If it says © 2003, then it’s a re-master.

Börje Forsberg
Since 2003, Black Mark Productions has been resuming Bathory's entire discography in waves. With the release of the entire last album "Nordland II", the premiere of which coincided with the 20th anniversary of the band's existence. Re-issues also appear immediately after the death of Stig Börje "Boss" Forsberg (R.I.P .: September 14, 2017), father of Quorthon (R.I.P .:
June 3, 2004).

Black Mark Production in 2010 decided to re-release Bathory's discography.
Sound Performance was commissioned to press CD's, which barely took over plant in Telford, Shropshire from DOCdata Media Ltd. (DOCdata UK) in 2009.

Matrices made by Sound Performance (Glass Mastered At (?) It was previously a DOCdata UK company).
For some reason, the Promese company received an order to press CDs on their machines (based on ready-made matrices from Sound Performance).

Pressed By – Sound Performance (2009-14)

??? "Mastering SID Code: IFPI LY22" ???https://www.discogs.com/label/283546-DigiCon ??? https://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/761866 ???

The Mastering SID Code identifies the machinery used to make the glass master.
Role of "Cinram GmbH" - the company is identified from the glass master.

The Mould SID Code[b/] indicates the plant where the disc was replicated and a serial number which can be set freely by the plant. It consists of the letters “IFPI” followed by a four or five alphanumeric digit code

! "[b]iƒpi - 𝑖𝑓𝑝𝑖" ! RSG §5.2.d SID codes (Source Identification Codes): "When entering SID codes, please do not transcribe the logo as iƒpi. Lowercase ifpi should be used instead."

Myriad Please help: Are we able to determine if this should be the matrix from Vantiva, Piaseczno, Poland?

[quote=Myriad]There's no need for separate submissions here. They come from the same manufacturing plant from last few years. We've never made a practice of creating a new submission for every single new glass master made as part of continuous manufacture by the same plant.[/quote] "

ARVATO "Certain clients such as Sony Music or Warner may replace the Arvato logo with their own, or there may be no logo present at all. Arvato may still be identified on such CDs by the matrix format, 5xxxxxxx matrix number and mould SID code IFPI 07xx.".

Concept Records (6)Sound and glass mastering facility located in Malmö, Sweden. CDs glass mastered at CDM can be identified by "CDM0x" or "CDMAx" in the matrix, where "x" is a digit from 1 to 4. CDM produced glass masters for a number of different European pressing plants in the late 1980s and 1990s, including:

PRS Hannover - PDO, Germany - Polygram, Hanover, West Germany - PMDC, Germany:
https://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/952673
By the way, there are different PDO matrix styles:
1) old (smaller) matrix font, symbols "⚹" or "#". Used 1986 to approxemately 1990.
2) new (larger) matrix font, symbols "'/", "+" or ">". Used 1988 to 1991.
A) PDO HANOVER in the matrix, used in 1986 and maybe 1987.
B) W. GERMANY in the matrix (with space), used 1986 to approxemately 1988.
C) W.GERMANY in the matrix (without space), used from 1988 to 1991.
Known combinations (looking at my collection) are: 1A, 1B, 1C and 2C.
MADE IN GERMANY (without manufacturer) does indeed refer to PRS Hannover pressings from 1991-1992.

RSG §12.2.9 "Enhanced CDs containing extra material...".

Durations
RSG §12.6.5 When the printed durations do not match the actual durations and the difference is more than ±5 seconds, enter the actual durations and list the printed durations in the Release Notes. When the difference is less than ±5 seconds, enter the printed durations.

BaOI - "none": Referring to a section of the paragraph 5.10, to distinguish and determining the role in the LCCN.
RSG §5.10 "...but only when this is needed for differentiation of the release from other versions."
Only use to the mastering SID code to definitively confirm its absence.
Removed unnecessary square brackets.

RSG §4.7.1 The catalog number is usually the most prominent number printed on the release - often on the spine, on the back cover, and on the label etc. The catalog number should be entered directly as it appears on a release - it shouldn't be altered for conformity with other catalog numbers listed on the label page.

"Black Disc" This version of the disc is made of black polycarbonate, not regular CD (transparent polycarbonate) . Commonly known as the Black Disc.
RSG §6.1.5 "The Free Text field should be used to describe:
Any non-standard color of the audio carrier."
"This "free text" field can be used to note anything else about the release that doesn't fit into the other fields." Something that distinguishes a given edition from others.

"Gold disc" - discs using gold as the reflective surface instead of aluminum.

The holograms: ZPAV vs, ZPAV-ZAIKS
"The number on the hologram sticker is different on each copy. The prefix itself might be useful though.
ZPAV from sticker to differentiate it from ZPAV-ZAIKS holograms which came later.
ZPAV is not a musical rights society but a manufacturers' rights society (member of IFPI)..."
