Catalog context

Summer Breeze: the RATCD4408 edition

2018-03-21 · CD · 10 tracks · reissue.

Symbolic editorial illustration shared with the Summer Breeze essay
Shared original AI editorial illustration from “Somebody Has to Make the Weather”. A visual metaphor, not an archival photograph, master-tape image or original cover for this entry.

This is the RATCD4408 reissue of Piper’s “Summer Breeze”, released on 2018-03-21 in CD format. The edition contains 10 ordered tracks. Its release date identifies this particular issue; the album itself belongs to 1983. Catalog number, medium and date together make this a more precise reference than the album title alone.

The sequence opens with “Shine On” and closes with “Moonlight Beach”. Those endpoints and the 10-position list provide a concrete way to check that a source describes RATCD4408, rather than another issue carrying the same album name.

The source describes the edition as “LVm (Laser Vinyl Master)”. Its production designation is limited paper sleeve edition. The listed label is ヴィヴィド・サウンド. These are release specifications, not a listening comparison or proof of identical masters on other formats. The linked album essay supplies the broader musical context.
