Folder 298

Europe

The leading 0 under the barcode -- per Discogs' notes, the split between the two European rows: 13426268 without it, 21169081 with it. This copy prints the 0. 13426268's own Barcode field also reads 0 190295 567699, so the split rests on the notes, not the identifier fields.

Why this grade

Sealed 2019 Parlophone Studio Collection digipak, the European issue with the leading 0 printed under the barcode. Seven rows on the master carry 0190295567699: two filed under Europe (13426268 and 21169081, both Optimal Media) and five under Brazil (13817314, 15996751, 16220740, 19841389, 30247343, all Rimo). The Brazilian rows are out on the packaging: 13817314 and 16220740 credit Rimo S.A. and Warner Music Brasil and carry a spine batch ID (AA0000500, AB0000500), and 16220740's note gives its hype sticker as The Studio Collection Originally Released 1988 0190295567699 Remastered, with the barcode number on it. This copy's sticker has no number, its rear copyright block is two lines of English ending exclusive license to Parlophone Records Ltd. / All rights reserved. 0190295567699, and the importer sticker on the wrap names WMIS Limited in London and Warner Music Group Germany in Hamburg. Between the two European rows, Discogs' notes draw the line at one glyph: 13426268's note says its barcode number does NOT have a 0 in front, and 21169081's note says its barcode has the leading 0. This copy prints 0 190295 567699, the 0 standing to the left of the first guard bar, so it is 21169081. That line is thinner than it looks: 13426268's own Barcode field is also typed 0 190295 567699, contradicting its note, so the split rests on the two notes (which agree with each other) rather than on the identifier fields. 21169081's note also describes the 4cm round black shrink-wrap sticker reading The Studio Collection Originally Released 1988 Remastered, which is exactly what sits on this wrap. The mirror ring could not separate the European rows anyway: both record 0190295567699 AJ58402-01 manufactured by optimal media GmbH for every variant, differing only in SID codes, and the copy is sealed. The owner's phone note 0190295567699 Sealed is borne out by the barcode, the rear block and the intact wrap, and decided nothing on its own. Same release as folder 283. The version list is never complete, so an uncatalogued variant cannot be excluded.

A photograph of pressing 298, Europe

What the record says

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

No photograph of the inner mirror ring exists in this folder, so no matrix or SID code was read.

Every line of small print, and the photograph it came from — 4 of them

Sealed, front through the shrink-wrap: the standard cover art with IRON MAIDEN and SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON printed on the card, and a round black sticker on the wrap reading THE STUDIO COLLECTION around the top, ORIGINALLY RELEASED and 1988 in red in the middle, and REMASTERED around the foot, with no barcode number on the sticker

Sealed, rear through the wrap: the eight titles MOONCHILD • INFINITE DREAMS • CAN I PLAY WITH MADNESS / THE EVIL THAT MEN DO • SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON / THE PROPHECY • THE CLAIRVOYANT • ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG and Produced, Engineered and Mixed By Martin Birch.; the Parlophone device with Parlophone in yellow; a vertical barcode block at lower right; a two-line yellow copyright block across the foot, English only, whose left half is too soft to read even at native resolution and whose right half reads ...LP under exclusive license to Parlophone Records Ltd / ...subject of copyright protection. All rights reserved. 0190295567699. No Portuguese text and no Rimo credit anywhere on the panel

The object, and what marks it out

Sleeve, labels and inserts

  • Digipak -- a card digipak with the cover art on the front panel and the icescape on the rear, as all seven candidate rows are packaged.
  • Sealed -- the original shrink-wrap is intact. The Studio Collection hype sticker and the WMIS / Warner Music Group Germany importer sticker both sit on the wrap, not on the card. Nothing inside has been seen: booklet, tray and disc are described by Discogs for this row, not by these photographs.
  • Condition -- the wrap is lightly creased; the card beneath looks bright with square corners.
  • No disc photograph, and none possible without breaking the seal. No matrix ring, mastering SID or mould SID was read. The spine was not photographed.

What distinguishes this pressing

  • The leading 0 under the barcode -- per Discogs' notes, the split between the two European rows: 13426268 without it, 21169081 with it. This copy prints the 0. 13426268's own Barcode field also reads 0 190295 567699, so the split rests on the notes, not the identifier fields.
  • The rear panel -- a two-line English copyright block with the Parlophone device and no Rimo, Warner Music Brasil or Portuguese text, which rules out the Brazilian rows on the object rather than on the disc.
  • The hype sticker with no barcode number -- matches 21169081's note; 16220740's note gives the Brazilian sticker with 0190295567699 added.
  • The WMIS / Warner Music Group Germany importer sticker -- shows where the copy was sold into, not which row it is. Corroboration only.
  • Not readable here: the matrix ring and SID codes. Both European rows record the same 0190295567699 AJ58402-01 manufactured by optimal media GmbH ring, so opening the copy would only add a mould and mastering SID.

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

Settled by the leading 0 printed under the barcode, which Discogs' notes give to 21169081 and deny to 13426268, with the Brazilian rows out on the English-only rear panel and the number-less hype sticker.
