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.
- Shell: light surface marks and handling wear are visible. No visible warping, tape spillage or shell 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
Nothing on the object separates 12519689 from a possible uncatalogued Argentine repress; comparing the shell print and EMSSA lip against the Discogs images of 12519689 would be the next check.
