This promotional sampler is the last record that was pressed at Sony's vinyl pressing plant (the SonyMusic International Manufacturing and Service Center) in Haarlem, The Netherlands, before the facility was shut down at the end of March 1998. The record, which was pressed on heavy 180-gram vinyl, was manufactured in limited quantities and was exclusively distributed among employees of the facility to commemorate the occasion. In June 1998, Record Industry took over the vinyl manufacturing process which is still active in the very same plant.
