The early CDs were all made in Japan, or Germany, before production ramped up. They are more valuable than ordinary CDs.Any CDs made in Japan even later ones have more value than the common made in USA. Many early made in Germany CDs have a characteristic soft blue label called "Target CDs' here is a link to a discussion: http://www.keithhirsch.com/target-cds
The link also shows the Japanese version. They are highly sought after, And I find in the few I own, they ARE better sounding.
