peterintoronto Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) I have always seen re-issues that have 'Pid' listed as the label/manufacturer of discs on CD Universe. Case in point: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7765858 What/Who is 'Pid'? Is it an acronym for something sinister?

Bluerein Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Most if not all Fresh Sound and Andorean labels have this too so I susspect it stands for Pxxxx Import Disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a retired physician, that used to stand for "pelvic inflammatory disease". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 In the forum database, pid stands for post identification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Most if not all Fresh Sound and Andorean labels have this too so I susspect it stands for Pxxxx Import Disc. Either that, or it's the most prolific label on earth http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/label/Pid/a/Pid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Wouldn't PID simply stand for "Product Identification" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgraham333 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I suspect it is a glitch in the CDUniverse site. Possibly a null value gets set to Pid by default. As you can see from the link you posted CDU uses pid as URL variable. Either that or record company consolidation has run amuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) If I remember correctly PID was/is an import division of a major record company or a distributor. Edited October 7, 2008 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
