Microservice

Microservice was the first company to manufacture CDs in Brazil, operating from 1987 to mid-2012. This profile with only the company's generic brand should only be used for label credits, ℗ or © rights or for glass master manufacturing credit for the production of CDs or DVDs. For all other LCCN credits, please use the full corporate name as mentioned in the releases. During their period of activity, Microservice manufactured in two facilities: São Paulo - SP plant - CGC/CNPJ: 043.359.926/0001-80 Microservice - Microfilmagens e Reproduções Técnicas Ltda. (from 1987 to 1998) Microservice Tecnologia Digital S.A. (from 1998 to 2012) Manaus - AM plant - CGC/CNPJ: 34.525.444/0001-62 Microservice - Microfilmagens E Reproduções Técnicas Da Amazônia Ltda., also named as Microservice Tecnologia Digital da Amazônia Ltda. (both operating from 1992 to mid-2012) Microservice only started to manufacture glass matrices in mid-1991. Before that, between 1987 and 1991 matrices were made outside of Brazil under Microservice's order to several manufacturers, including Disctronics, SRC, DADC and CDC. The mention of "Microservice" on the matrix strings for this period only means that the manufacturer has credited the name of the ordering party Microservice Matrix Patterns 1991-2012 were: [ Mid-1991 to 1994 ] _____________________________ MICROSERVICE 00\zzzzzzz xxxx/y ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ being: 00\zzzzzzz the release catalog number/identifier prefixed with a 2-3 digit numerical code followed by a slash (backward, upright or forward) xxxx/y the W.O./matrix catalog number, being "xxxx" a 3-4 digits sequential number and "y" the year of manufacture from ” /1 ” = 1991 to “ /4 ” = 1994 [ 1994 to 2002 ] ___________________________________ A0000 MICROSERVICE 00\zzzzzzz xxxx/y ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ or __________________________________ 0000A MICROSERVICE 00\zzzzzzz xxxxy ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ being: A0000 or 0000A an internal alphanumeric code.

SID codes used from 1994 to 2012 were Mastering SID Codes IFPI L361, IFPI L362, IFPI L363, IFPI L364 Mould SID Codes IFPI 540A to IFPI 540Z (except B, D, E, R, S), IFPI 541A to IFPI 541Z (except C, J), IFPI 542A to IFPI 542N (except H, J, K, L) ★ Please do not assign any LCCN credit based purely on SID codes ★ Please do not credit Microservice on LCCN as “Pressed By” or “Manufactured By” based purely on what is mentioned on matrix strings. Microservice produced glass matrices to order or that were reused by other manufacturers and pressing plants ★ Manufacture dates on the matrices (the digit "y" between 1991 and 2002 or the sequence "yymmdd" between 2003 and 2012) may not indicate the release date, but guides that the release cannot predate the glass master manufacturing.
