What the record says
Every line below was read off a native-resolution crop of the photo named beside it, except where the source column says otherwise - those rows come from the record itself, by reading it or by playing it, and each says which.
Photographed, partly legible: disc 1 3...-..2. (IMG_5235); disc 2 3015-29.. (IMG_5241) and 3C 66377 (IMG_5243).

Personnel, production and artwork credits are sourced from Discogs release 3494603, the Europe 2xCD (EMI, 50999 301590 2 0) and this master's main release, 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.
- 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.
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
Settled by the owner reading the run-outs by eye against Discogs 3494459. A sharper photograph of one full run-out would let a reader check that reading independently.
