Label/Distributor Letter Codes
So even though Rank Video Services America was renamed Deluxe Video Services in mid-1998 (which resulted in their letter code being changed from "RVS" to "DLX"), some labels/distributors such as Paramount and probably Columbia TriStar continued to use their own letter codes until sometime in 1999 (Paramount's letter code was PAR, Columbia TriStar's letter code was CTV). I wonder when in 1999 that label/distributor letter codes were phased out in favor of the "DLX" code. For example, my copy of "Rugrats: Angelica Knows Best" (a Nickelodeon Video/Paramount release) was pressed during the 4th week of 1999 (PAR 904 instead of DLX 904), while my copy of "It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown" (a Peanuts Home Video/Paramount release) was pressed during the 37th week of 1999 (DLX 937). I also own a copy of "Chuckie the Brave" (also a Nickelodeon Video/Paramount release) that was pressed during the 34th week of 1999 (DLX 934). 69.85.235.45 16:54, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
