I have been buying a lot of Japanese and Hong Kong releases lately. One Hong Kong release proved interesting - to me.

Touch and Go (1991) -- ML 320

Mint Marks sample
Toshiba EMI:
ML320-A 1M TO
ML320-B 2M TO

PRINCO:
KA85474 A8540814
KB85474 B8540507

I had bought a copy pressed by Toshiba EMI, then recently bought another copy with different Mint Marks that the Mint-O-Matic software couldn't match with a pressing plant, so I submitted an Update with the Mint Marks as above, except where it says PRINCO I had typed UNKNOWN. Julien apparently identified the Pressing Plant. So I now own two copies pressed at two different sites.

This, of course, isn't my first LD release to be pressed by *Multiple Sites.* In fact somewhere in my collection is an LD release pressed at three different sites.

Where was PRINCO located anyway. All their pressings seem to be for Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, except for three USA releases.

Edwin,

Thanks! I've been wondering about this plant for quite some time.
