Personnel, production and artwork credits are sourced from Discogs release 2420410, the UK & Europe original (EMI, 7243 4 93915 1 2, 1998) and this master's main release, 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
Confirmed by the owner on 2026-10-05, checked by eye against Discogs release 10301658. The reasoning below is what stood before that.
Read the run-out on all four sides once the shrink comes off, to rule out an uncatalogued repress.
