Why this grade

Brazilian 1987 repress. Five Brazilian LPs share 31C 064 07724 D; the run-out picks this one. The deadwax carries a (P) 1987 stamp, which is what Discogs records for 13406742 alone ('(P) 1987 on runouts'). The 1983 and 1985 issues list 07724-D-A 1-1-1 / 1+1+1= style run-outs, and the 1994 issue has 107.724-1 labels with BMG Ariola and a (p) 1991 A side; these labels read plain '07724 D' with no BMG. The owner's note (7724 A 02 (P) 1987 200 / 7724 B 02 (P) 1987 200, ISAL) agrees with every fragment photographed, but the photos show the run-out only in pieces, so which fragment sits on which side is taken from the note, not the frames. 13406742 lists no matrix identifiers of its own, and an uncatalogued Brazilian repress can't be ruled out.

Personnel, production and artwork credits are sourced from Discogs release 1839842, the UK original (EMI, EMA 800, 1983) and this master's main release, and apply to the recording rather than to this pressing.

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

Pinned down by the (P) 1987 run-out; only a fuller per-side deadwax photo would add anything.
