Полазил на буржуинских форумах насчет французских пластинок
Пишут, что эти литеры в кружках, это price codes. Но никто никакой систематизации не приводит. Даже сами интересуются этим..

Вот нашел некоторую информацию по французским синглам

The French RCA singles came with price codes on the back of their sleeves which helps to date them, these are the French price codes:


Old letter system (State controlled)


L : from 1968 to March/April 1972

J : from March/April 72 to October 73

N : from October 73 to September 74

NA : from September 74 to September 75

E : from September 75 to September 76

EA : from September 76 to spring 78

EC : from spring 78 to autumn 78


After this record companies were free to charge what they liked and each distributor had it’s own price code. RCA after the last old letters system (EC) had RC 110. Two letters and three numbers (RC = RCA)


Also at the bottom of some of the sleeves you can find the print date of the sleeve. (These dates are only for the first pressings and don’t usually change for later pressings, for the date of later pressings the price code is the best guide.)

Example : “ Imp. A.R.E.A.C.E.M. - C 9 “ this means printed by A.R.E.A.C.E.M - 1974/September. A = 1972, B = 1973, C = 1974, etc. The number is the month. Before this they ware printed by A.C.E.M. with a more obvious coding like this “Imp. A.C.E.M. 11-70” (meaning November 1970).

Тогда все Пинкфлойды должны быть с буквой К, а битлы с М.

Слава, эта тёлачка тоже твая....
