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
Settled by the owner on 2026-09-27, comparing the copy with release 8329483's photographs by eye. Before that it read: Compare the Discogs release 8329483 images/notes (label layout, 'R. & R. Gloscia S.A.' credit, spine 'ESTEREO 501 813-4') against these photographs to lift it to Confirmed.
