I know there was a thread around here somewhere discussing all of the variations of Rio and the various matrix info and pressings, but I can't find it. I am not sure if it was discussed about how many copies might have been pressed in each of the 3 plants for each variation. It seems the Los Angeles one was only used for the first variation (Z1 and Z4) and also where many of the gold stamped promos were from. I picked up another stamped copy (Z4) pressing and was just curious how easy/hard those are to find. Which pressings/variations do you find to be hardest to come by? Does anyone have any idea how high the stamped numbers go and what numbers they started with? Mine was #015409.
Also, if anyone has a link to the discussion thread, please post. I would like to bookmark for future reference. Thx much.

Thank you for that. It was informative. I am curious, though if anyone can tell me more about which pressings are harder to find and which seem more common. Also,. is there a good list of which versions came with which hype stickers? I would like to know if there is a way to have an idea of what pressing it is based on the hype stickers or any other external info when looking @ a sealed copy. I know there are some note floating around here and there, but I would love to know if anyone has compiled a list of that info.

From a hype sticker perspective, The sticker that states "Contains the Hit Version of Hungry Like The Wolf" should only be on the 3rd versions (Harvest or Capitol Labels). The sticker that says "Contains Save A Prayer Hungry Like The Wolf Rio" I have only seen on 3rd Versions (Capitol Label). Those are the only "Hype Stickers", obviously the "Remixed & Remastered" sticker is only on the 2nd version (Harvest Label). I have never seen a sticker on the 1st version (Harvest Label).
As far as which versions are harder to more common, I would put them in this order from my experience: Columbia House Pressing Harvest 3rd version Capitol 3rd version RCA Music Service Pressing Harvest 1st version Harvest 2nd Version (Remixed/Remastered)

Wait, are you saying harder is the top of the list to most common on the bottom? Or the opposite? Capitol 3rd version is less common than Harvest? Sorry. I am all turned around here, lol.

I'm saying that the Columbia House pressing is the most common and the Remixed and Remastered (2nd pressing) is the least common.
