The object, and what marks it out
Sleeve, labels and inserts
- Outer sleeve - single, standard artwork.
- Inner sleeve - present, printed both sides.
- Labels - plain cream paper with black text, red rim lettering and a red
EMIbox logo at the foot. No globe artwork. The album title is set above the artist name, which is unusual.
What distinguishes this pressing
(Mushroom)as publisher on every track - Mushroom Music handled the Australasian sub-publishing. No other copy in this collection credits it, and every other copy here credits Zomba instead.MANUFACTURED BY THE EMI MUSIC GROUP — AUSTRALASIA- a regional rather than national manufacturing statement, which is why Discogs files this under "Australasia" rather than Australia or New Zealand.EMC 790258- a local catalogue prefix (EMC) unrelated to the UKEMD.- Title above artist on the label, and
SIDE 2spelled out where most other pressings here useTHIS SIDE.

Personnel and studio credits are sourced from Discogs release 576952, the UK original, and apply to the recording rather than to this pressing. The producer, publisher and copyright lines are independently corroborated by this copy's own label, quoted above.
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
Australasia and catalogue EMC 790258 are certain, and Discogs lists one Australasian vinyl edition, so Probable. Discogs records no barcode or run-out data for it, so nothing further was cross-checkable.
To strengthen it: photograph the run-out groove on both sides - new information, since Discogs holds none for this release.
