I'm sorry, but your explanation of the EEC pressings is incorrect. I live in the EU which used to be called EEC. STEMRA indicates which authority is responsible for copyright in the Netherlands. For Germany, copyrights are handled by GEMA. For Belgium this is SABAM. So every country has its own copyright association. STEMRA, GEMA or SABAM do not say anything about which country the LP was pressed in. It does indicate for which country the pressing is intended. So if it says STEMRA, that record is intended for the Dutch market. If it says GEMA, the record is intended for the German market. Sometimes you see GEMA / BIEM on the label. If BIEM has been added, this means that the record was sold internationally. GEMA therefore indicates that the record is intended for Germany, but that this pressing is also exported to other countries within the EEC. If it says STEMRA / BIEM, the record is intended for the Netherlands, but is also exported to other EEC countries. A good way to find out where an EEC record was pressed is to look at the LC code. You can find it on the record label. LC is the land code. For the Netherlands the country code is LC 0299. For Germany the code is LC 0287. The LC numbers were introduced in 1977. So if you have a record with an LC code, then the record was pressed in 1977 or later. All European albums pressed before the EEC labels can be identified by the prefix of the catalog number. The UK is 1E; The Netherlands is 5C until 1979 and 1A from 1979. Germany is 1C. Hope this will help! Thanks for the nice videos! 👍
Label / Label Code "The Label Code (LC) was introduced in 1977 by the IFPI (International Federation of Phonogram and Videogram Industries) in order to unmistakably identify the different record labels (see Introduction, Record labels) for rights purposes. The Label Code consists historically of 4 figures, presently being extended to 5 figures, preceded by LC and a dash (e.g. LC-0193 = Electrola; LC-0233 = His Master's Voice). Note that the number of countries using the LC is limited, and that the code given on the item is not always accurate." [1] A label code should not be confused with a release's catalog number. A catalog number identifies a particular release, whereas a label code identifies an entire label.
