Back
then many dealers parallel imported the CDs from outside Germany. This
was illegal if the label has its own distributor. To stop it ARIS was
founded.
ARIS-BMG/ariola, Germany, wanted to provide a unique import
service. Therefore they imported many CDs from countries outside
Germany which were at that time not in the German program.
We know
about one ARIS import from France (German made), one from England
(German made), one from the USA, nine from Japan and the above
DEFINITIVE series (German made).
But the situation about the stickers is still a mystery - maybe some
were lost with the shrink wrap.
And why have they changed the EVA logo to RCA (a run out of the
license?)
