Only release on the master with catalogue 7243 8 35875 2 0

Catalogue: 7243 8 35875 2 0
Label: EMI United Kingdom
Released: 1995
Confidence: Likely
Why this grade
Barcode catalogue 7243 8 35875 2 0 and 'Printed in Holland' on the back inlay match exactly one release on the master, 392660 (UK & Europe 1995 reissue); no other version carries that catalogue number. Both discs' mirror rings were photographed and carry EMI Uden pressing codes (8360472 @ 1 on the album disc, 8360482 @ 2 on the bonus disc), agreeing with the per-disc numbers printed on the labels (7243 8 36047 2 2 and 7243 8 36048 2 1). The owner's note matches the disc 1 readings; its disc 2 half was left blank, and the photographs supply it. Held at Probable rather than Confirmed: only one candidate survives, so there is nothing for the matrix to discriminate between, and the matrix strings have not been checked against the Discogs release page. The version list is incomplete by construction, so an uncatalogued repress with the same catalogue number cannot be ruled out.

Condition, from the photographs

A photograph cannot grade a record - this is a description of what is visible, not a grade.

Case/inlay: general handling wear with some edge and corner softening; no cracks or splits visible in these shots.
Disc: light surface marks and handling sheen catch the light. No visible deep scratches or disc-face damage in these photographs.

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

Checking the matrix strings on Discogs release 392660 against EMI UDEN 8360472 @ 1 and 8360482 @ 2 would show whether they are recorded there; with only one candidate on the master, nothing more in the photographs can raise the grade.
