Hello!
javaldez submitted an intriguing mint mark for
Karate Kid, The (1984) [30406]96-419-A1-14 1C110194
95-965-B1-25 1C040179
95-965-C1-13 1C040023
07-400-B3-12 1C024681
# that's a standard "dead side"First of all the 1993 release date with an Analog-CX soundtrack looks suspicious but this is already mentioned in the notes.
Then it's weird that side A mint marks (master id =
96-419) is different from side B and C (
95-965).
95-965 fits nicely in the 1984 master serials:
[95-960] => Hardbodies [30366]
[95-962] => (1984) Natural, The [30380]
[95-963] => Meatballs 2 [30405]
[95-964] => (1984) Stranger And The Gunfighter, The [30355]
[95-966] => [ 2 ] (1984) Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann [PA 12528]
But 96-419 is a 1985 master id for...
Terminator, The (1984) [2535]!
It looks like (maybe) someone started a new batch with the wrong master:

But the mistake was detected and the plastic platters restamped with a "N" (new?) correct master ref id.
The complete mint marks set looks like this:

Could you check yours as well if you happen to own a copy of the Analog-CX 1984 release?
And if you have a 1993 Digital Audio remaster copy I'm also interested in adding it!
