Why this grade

Still sealed, so the disc and its run-out can't be read. The jacket barcode 0 13023 25572 2 matches the owner's note "013023255722" and, of the two laserdiscs in the master's version list, only the US Pioneer Artists release (9957362) carries it; the Japanese TOEMI disc (2101226) has barcode 4988006066250. 'Made in U.S.A.', the Pioneer Artists LDCA credits and the CX noise-reduction mark (which Discogs notes for 9957362) agree. The catalogue number PA 91-377 is not legible in any photograph -- the spine isn't shown -- so it is taken from Discogs, not read. The version list is never complete, so an uncatalogued US repress can't be ruled out until the disc is out of the shrink.

What the record says

Every line below was read off a native-resolution crop of the photograph named beside it.

No photograph of the run-out/matrix area exists in this folder, so no matrix code was read.

Every line of small print, and the photograph it came from — 7 of them

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.
  • Disc: light surface marks and handling sheen catch the light. No visible deep scratches, warping or edge damage in these photographs.

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

Read the matrix near the hub on both sides once the shrink comes off, and photograph the spine for the PA 91-377 catalogue number.
