In Utero Simply Vinyl LP Gold Sticker Release Date?

[Jarrod Lawrence]

Does anyone know the actual release date of the Gold Sticker version of this LP? I believe the Silver Sticker version is listed as 1998 on Discogs but the Gold Sticker version does not have a release date listed.

maybe the matrix number can give you the answer.
I only have the Silver Sticker version and I have ignored the Gold one.

Maybe this gives a clue:

Pre-2000 are EMI pressings with similar matrix codes to that Nevermind. After 2000 they were pressed by Record Industry in Holland, matrix starts with 08.
I'm guessing the silver and gold stickers change occurred at the same time, but somebody will have to confirm that with matrix codes.

Still, it doesn't give an exact year, only "from or after 2000". I don't know how long they were in print.

I might be mistaken, but I remember when these editions arrived in the market and the first were all with sliver stickers only later I have spotted the gold version. Unfortunately, my copies are not with me (they are in Lisbon). I am flying in a few days, i will try to retrieve info on the matrices for you.
