Personnel, production and artwork credits are sourced from Discogs release 3382321, this master's own main release (Europe EMI, 0946 372321 2 5), 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.
- Case/inlay: general handling wear with some edge and corner softening; no cracks or splits visible in these shots.
- Disc: light surface marks and handling sheen catch the light. No visible deep scratches or disc-face 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
Opening the shrink and reading the CD mirror ring under raking light would confirm against Discogs 801424 and rule out the Russian unofficial copies.
