-While some counterexamples may exist, virtually all early redface pressings share two common attributes: a box at 3:00 subdivided into quadrants with "GEMA", the catalog number, "STEREO" and "Made in West Germany"; and a boxed "Compact Disc Digital Audio" logo at 9:00.

-Some redface titles were simultaneously released in France as [[Blueface (Dreyfus)|blueface]]s. These were often from the same pressing, just with different labels printed on them.
