Brazilian CD albums from "Don't Believe the Truth" onwards feature a batch code printed on both the inner ring of the disc and the back inlay. This code identifies the specific batch run and the total number of copies produced for that pressing. The prefix denotes the pressing sequence; "AA" for the first pressing, "AB" for the second, "AC" for the third, and so on, for example, "AA0020800" denotes a first pressing ("AA") limited to 20,800 copies. For this reason, any "Promotional CD" without an "AA" batch code must be regarded as very suspect in authenticity.
