Default Target CDs

Dude, click the link in my original
post and LEARN about what Target CD
signifies.

It signifies early CDs produced in countries other than the USA, because
there were not enough pressing plants in the USA at the time. The Target
brand was a marketing ploy.

A "flat transfer from the master tape" as mentioned on the site linked
to by JackAss is a meaningless phrase, and omits the information about
which master was used. Was it the studio master, the LP master or the
cassette master? Or maybe it was (A copy of) the CD master intended for
American use, put onto a plane to Germany?
