Condition, from the photographs
A photograph cannot grade a record - this is a description of what is visible, not a grade.
- Sleeve: general handling wear with some edge and corner softening; no splits or seam separation visible in these shots.
- Vinyl: light surface marks and handling sheen catch the light. No visible deep scratches, warping or edge damage in these photographs. The labels are clean and unmarked.
Nothing on this page comes from playing the record. No Goldmine grade is claimed for it, or any other. I have no record of where this copy came from.
What is settled, and what is not
The same position as folder 2: one Israeli candidate, nothing further cross-checkable, so Probable.
A check specific to owning two: photograph both copies' run-out grooves and compare them. If the etchings differ, folders 2 and 4 came from different stampers of the same release - which is worth knowing, and which Discogs does not currently record for this release at all.
