Why this grade

Doubtful: this shell prints sides A / B, 5685340's prints 1 / 2 (owner, 2026-09-27). The inlay and shell carry exactly the catalogue trio Discogs lists for the Malaysian cassette 5685340: TC EMD 1032, 7 99161 4 and the spine form 7991614(6), with 0777, / 7 99161 4 6 printed on the shell. The owner's note (7 99161 4, 0077779916146, TC EMD 1032) agrees with every one of those strings and adds nothing beyond them. The catch: the only country marker on the object is a red EMI (Thailand) retail sticker priced 119 baht, and there's no Thai cassette on the master, so this may be a Malaysian tape sold in Thailand or an uncatalogued Thai issue. No 'Made in' line is legible on inlay or shell, and the barcode is shared across many EMI releases, so nothing here singles out 5685340 from a Thai twin. Probable is the ceiling; the version list is incomplete by construction.

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

Only a 'Made in' line or manufacturer credit would pin the country, and none is legible through the seal. If Discogs ever lists a Thai EMI cassette with the same catalogue trio, this copy moves to Narrowed between it and 5685340.
