Why this grade

Brazilian double LP: the rear-sleeve sticker reads 168 799161 1 and the sleeve print block says MADE IN BRAZIL, which matches exactly one entry in the master, 3223879. The owner's note gives the same sticker number and the same run-out readings the photographs show (799162 / 01 / P1992 on disc 1, 799.163 / 1 or 2 / 01 / P1992 on disc 2), so the note agrees with the photographs and adds nothing beyond them. The hand-etched run-outs were not compared to a Discogs matrix listing, because no release JSON for 3223879 is cached, so no detail here is unique among candidates. A single surviving candidate in a version list that is incomplete by construction is not proof.

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.
