Chicago - 16 (1982) [W.German Target CD]

Target CDs are a class of pressings released by WEA (Warner-Elektra-Atlantic) in the early-to-mid 1980s. Most were manufactured in either West Germany or Japan for distribution in the U.S. before domestic pressing facilities went online. Some were also pressed in the U.S. and France. Target CDs were also distributed in Europe and Japan, as well as other markets. Target CDs derive their name from the design used by WEA, which resembles a gunsight, crosshairs, or a target. These early CDs are often readily identified by the striking colors used on the label side.
Target CDs are collectibles since many of them are the original issues and are, therefore, remnants of the early days of the “Compact Digital Disc”. Aside from the historical significance, many music enthusiasts also feel that these early pressings offer superior fidelity to later remasters. The reason for this is that many Target CDs represent a “flat transfer” of the tapes used. By contrast, many recent remasters have been prepared through excessive processing, including the abuse of compression and noise reduction.

Target CD - класс (вид, подвид, семейство, и т.д.) дисков, выпущенных WEA (Warner-Elektra-Atlantic) в начале-середине 1980-х. Большинство было отпечатано или в Западной Германии или в Японии для распространения в США. Некоторые были также отпечатаны в США и Франции. Target CD также продавались в Европе и Японии. Своё название (target - мишень) диски получили из-за дизайна, используемого WEA, который немного напоминает мишень.
Target CD - предметы коллекционирования, так как многие из них - оригинальные издания первых лет эры “Compact Digital Disc”. Эти ранние издания предлагают более правильный звук, по сравнению с последующими изданиями. Причина этого состоит в том, что в отличие большинства ремастеров последних лет, мастеринг Target дисков осуществлялся без чрезмерной обработки, включая злоупотребление сжатием и шумоподавлением.
