Varese VCD series without barcode
Anyone collect these? I read on the Varese wikipedia page that some collectors prefer the first printings of the old VCD series that had no barcode on the back cover. Here's the back cover of the Empire Strikes Back release (VCD 47204) with no barcode for example: http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/5683/empirestrikesbackvareseht2.jpg
Also, anyone know if all VCD series had first prints without barcode or if only up to a certain release did?

I remember when bar codes first popped up on LP's. It was around 1982. The big mainstream labels did it first. Varese Sarabande began barcoding LP's a couple of years later. At first it was a sticker that could be removed.
Hated barcodes then and do to this very day. Many a good cover has been almost ruined by those things.

I just checked the back of my CD of "Witness". No barcode.

The "first editions" of the early Varese CDs had no bar code. I was hired to locate numerous CDs for a very serious collector many years ago. Some of the placements of bar codes are intersting after the fact.

Do you happen to know how many of the first editions were manufactured without the barcode?
