Why this grade

Argentine Plaza Independencia Música reissue of the 1998 enhanced remaster, the one whose rear inlay carries 7243 4968640 3 in the barcode box beside the Plaza Independencia Música device and the line Publicado y distribuido por Plaza Independencia S.R.L. Three Argentine CD rows on the master share this number. The EMI-Odeon row 6539506 is out on the disc: Discogs records a teltron 9893-2 4968640 ring for it and this disc's ring reads 67602 - L.D.A. - INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA - WARNER - 243496864-0, with a Parlophone / Warner Music Group face. The Parlophone row 10546950 is out on the inlay: Discogs' own photograph of its rear panel prints 2434-96864-0 in the barcode box with Parlophone and Warner Music Group logos and Publicado y distribuido por Warner Music Argentina S.A., none of which this inlay carries. That leaves 29534623, whose Discogs photograph of the rear inlay matches this one line for line. What keeps it at Probable rather than Confirmed: the disc in the case is, to the character, the L.D.A. pressing Discogs records for 10546950 (same ring, same IFPI L701 mastering code), and the disc face says Publicado y distribuido por Warner Music Argentina S.A. where the inlay says Plaza Independencia. Discogs records no ring, no SID code and no disc photograph for 29534623, so whether the Plaza issue simply shipped Warner's disc stock in a new inlay -- the ordinary way a distributor reissue is made -- or this disc was swapped in cannot be settled from the catalogue. The owner's phone note gave 7243 4968640 3 and the full ring text; both agree with the photographs and decided nothing on their own. The version list is never complete, so an uncatalogued Plaza Independencia variant cannot be excluded.

What the record says

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

The inner mirror ring was photographed under raking light in three frames. IMG_6744.jpeg shows the start of the stamped text, 67602 - L.D.A. - INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA - W, and IMG_6745.jpeg the rest, INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA - WARNER - 243496864-0; together they read 67602 - L.D.A. - INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA - WARNER - 243496864-0. IMG_6746.jpeg is a close crop of the mastering SID code on the ring, IFPI L701, which is kept out of the ring string because Discogs files it as a separate identifier. No mould SID code is visible in any frame. Discogs records this exact ring and IFPI L701 for the Parlophone row 10546950 and nothing at all for 29534623.

Discogs records no matrix entries for this release.

The object, and what marks it out

Sleeve, labels and inserts

  • Standard jewel case with a tinted tray, the inlay carrying the Plaza Independencia Música device and a 7243 4968640 3 barcode box; the case is photographed through what looks like intact shrink-wrap on the rear, which softens the fine print.
  • Single picture disc with the Eddie face artwork, Parlophone and Warner Music Group logos, catalogue 2434-96864-0 printed on the face and INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA in the rim text.
  • No booklet page is photographed, so the enhanced-section credits Discogs quotes from the booklet are not checked.

What distinguishes this pressing

  • Rear inlay barcode box printing 7243 4968640 3 beside the Plaza Independencia Música device and Publicado y distribuido por Plaza Independencia S.R.L.: Discogs' photograph of 29534623's rear matches it, while 10546950's rear photograph prints 2434-96864-0 in the box with Parlophone and Warner Music Group logos and names Warner Music Argentina as distributor.
  • Ring 67602 - L.D.A. - INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA - WARNER - 243496864-0 with IFPI L701, against the EMI-Odeon row 6539506 whose recorded ring is teltron 9893-2 4968640 INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA with IFPI LL02.
  • The same ring and SID are exactly what Discogs records for 10546950, so the disc is Warner's L.D.A. pressing; 29534623 has no ring, SID or disc photograph on file to compare it with.

Personnel and studio credits are sourced from Discogs release 576952, the UK original, 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

The inlay is 29534623's and the disc is the L.D.A. pressing Discogs records for 10546950, and Discogs has nothing on file about 29534623's disc. A ring or disc photograph added to 29534623 on Discogs, or another sealed Plaza Independencia copy opened and read, would show whether the Plaza issue carries this Warner disc as standard, which would lift this to Confirmed; a different ring there would make this copy a mismatched one. The mould SID code on this disc was not photographed either, and 10546950 records IFPI 1R09 for it. Standing caveat: the method cannot exclude a pressing absent from Discogs.
