Picture-disc format and the "LIMITED EDITION DOUBLE PICTURE DISC" sticker separate 1020821 from the three 2017 unofficial vinyl reissues that share catalogue, barcode and run-outs
What the record says
Every line below was read off a native-resolution crop of the photograph named beside it.
Hand-etched, partial reads: "B66O2_3-01A1" (side A), "...3-01B1" (side B); remaining sides only fragments ("B66O2...", "...02C1"-style tail not fully legible)
Every line of small print, and the photograph it came from — 9 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.
- 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
