Only LP row in the master with catalogue 038 15 7548 1 / 1C 038-15 7548 1

Confidence: Likely
Why this grade
German-printed Fame budget reissue, catalogue 038 15 7548 1 on sleeve and 1C 038-15 7548 1 on both labels. Release 609370 is the only LP in the master carrying that number (the other 1C 238 15 7548 4 rows are cassettes). The run-out was photographed on both sides, but no Discogs release JSON for 609370 is cached, so the etching could not be checked against a recorded matrix; one surviving candidate in an incomplete list is not proof.

Personnel, production and artwork credits are sourced from Discogs release 1466027, the UK original (EMI, EMC 3330, 1980), and apply to the recording rather than to this pressing. Where this copy's own packaging carries the producer, publisher or copyright lines, they are quoted in the evidence above.

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.

What is settled, and what is not

Compare the stamped run-outs '1575481-A2-D' / '1575481-B2-D' against the Matrix / Runout identifiers on Discogs release 609370; a match would lift this to Confirmed.
