Why this grade

Still sealed, so only the sleeve speaks. Its barcode and catalogue number 50999 697 7571 0 match two picture-disc entries on the master: the 2009 EMI edition and the 2013 Parlophone reissue, which share that number. The rear sleeve's copy credits only EMI RECORDS LTD. with no Parlophone mention, and the hype sticker cites the BRIT Awards 2009 win; both lean towards 2009 but neither is a discriminator, since a reissue can reuse an old sleeve and sticker. The owner's note 5099969775710 Sealed agrees with the barcode photographed and with the shrink-wrap seen in every frame; it decides nothing between the two. No run-out or disc label is visible, and the version list is incomplete by construction. - Confirmed by the owner, checked by eye against Discogs release 1883260 on 2026-10-05; still sealed, so the discs themselves remain unseen.

Personnel, production and artwork credits are sourced from Discogs release 1883260, the Europe original (EMI, 50999 697 7571 0) and this master's main release, and apply to the recording rather than to this pressing. This copy is a picture disc with no paper label, so no claim is made about one. 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

Confirmed by the owner on 2026-10-05, checked by eye against Discogs release 1883260. The reasoning below is what stood before that.

Open the shrink-wrap and photograph both discs' centre labels and run-outs, sides 1-4.
