Comments
Here’s a case of the same album released in two different regions, resulting in a different catalog number and barcode, not to mention matrix. The CDEPC version was made in Austria, and the DIDP version was made in USA. The cover is even different between them, with “Europe” solid white in the US version and “chromed” in the Austrian version.
Despite all these differences, the mastering is near the same. There may be some EQ differences, but they would probably be subtle.
