   Kasper Jensen to All   
   ? Dutch CBS vinyl catalogue numbers

   I hope that somebody can inform me about this matter.   
      
      
      
   CBS in Denmark had their records pressed in the United Kingdom until   
   1972 or 1973. Afterwards they were pressed in Holland. A few of the UK   
   copies were reprinted in Holland.   
      
      
      
   The CBS catalogue numbers for records are e.g.:   
      
   LP Gasolin': Live In Skandinavien, CBS 83240, 1978   
      
   MC Gasolin': Live In Skandinavien, CBS 40-83240, 1978   
      
   LP Gasolin': Supermix, CBS 84154, 1980   
      
   MC Gasolin': Supermix, CBS 40-84154, 1980   
      
   LP Kim Larsen: Jungle Dreams, CBS 84854, 1981   
      
   MC Kim Larsen: Jungle Dreams, CBS 40-84854, 1981   
      
      
      
   The LPs don't have a pre-number and the MCs have the pre-number "40".   
      
      
      
   I have seen the MC Kim Larsen: Jungle Dreams, CBS 41-84854 released in   
   the Mastersound-serie. As far as I understand some MCs were released in   
   the early 80'ies with a better sound in this Mastersound-serie with the   
   pre-number "41". Please note that this LP/MC have been released in   
   Spain, Greece and Canada too   
      
      
      
   I have a very few times seen the LP Gasolin'; Supermix, CBS 21-84154.   
   But what does "21" mean? My guess is that is a pre-release for   
   promotional use or a late test pressing. Does anyone know something more   
   about that? Has it been used on other records? Please note that this LP   
   was released in Sweden and Norway - another pressing was released in   
   Denmark (Gasolin': Supermix 1, CBS 83985, 1980)   
      
      
      
   I have seen the LP Gasolin': Live In Skandinavien, CBS 13.83240, 1978   
   once (please note a "." instead of a "-"). But what does "13" mean?   
   Please note that this LP (CBS 83240) originally was released with yellow   
   vinyl but later in 1978 or 1979 was re-released with black vinyl. The   
   CBS 13.83240 is with black vinyl. Does anyone have any idea of why this   
   strange catalogue number was used? Is it used on other records?   
      
      
      
   I have asked the staff which worked for the Danish CBS division 25 years   
   ago but none of them remember why. I really hope that somebody (maybe   
   Dutch CBS staff) have an idea of why these different catalogue numbers   
   were used.
