I've got this album on see-through (maybe Quiex II?) vinyl. Try shining a bright light through it to check it out. There's a couple of darker patches on mine too.

As mentioned in this link http://www.discogs.com/help/submission-guidelines-release-country.html, the country should reflect the market for the recording, not its origin. I own a copy of this LP with identical identifiers to this listing. The fine print on the back cover says 'Distributed in the UK by BMG Records, Distribué en Europe par BMG Ariola', which I believe makes this a European release, not Germany, which is the country of origin. The small print on the cover image is hard to read but matches my copy. If there are no objections soon, I will update this listing to Europe.
Patti's Triumphant Sonic Return

Wow, what an incredible sounding album! Masterfully crafted by Bob Ludwig and produced by Scott Litt. Patti makes her comeback after nearly ten years away, more at peace, less combative, yet still with a voice that matters. Stunning and captivating work by Fred "Sonic" Smith!
