Why this grade

Still in its shrink-wrap, as the owner's note "Sealed" says and every photograph shows, so the labels and the run-outs are out of reach. The sleeve does the work: barcode/catalogue 0190295760878 under the Parlophone logo, and MADE IN THE E.U.. That matches exactly one vinyl entry on the master, the Europe Parlophone triple LP 11144831. The only other vinyl version, the US BMG 4050538321173, carries a different barcode and label, so it's out. A single surviving candidate isn't proof, though: the version list is never complete, and an uncatalogued EU repress in the same sleeve can't be ruled out until the deadwax is read. - Confirmed by the owner, checked by eye against Discogs release 11144831 on 2026-10-05; still sealed, so the discs themselves remain unseen.

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 11144831. The reasoning below is what stood before that.

Opening it and reading the run-out etchings on all six sides against Discogs 11144831 would pin it down; sealed, the sleeve is all there is to go on.
