5054197784392 is the catalogue number of only one entry on the master (31438295); the other Parlophone vinyl remasters carry 2564624849 (Europe 2014, Argentina 2021, Chile 2026), and the 2023 EMI (2) entries are unofficial releases on a different label and catalogue.

Why this grade

Still in its shrink-wrap, as the owner's note "Sealed" says and the photographs show: the wrap is visible over the front and back sleeve, lifting at the back's top-right corner. The owner's note also gives 5054197784392, and the sleeve bears it out twice: under the barcode and again in the rights line, beside 'Made in Germany'. That number is the catalogue number of exactly one entry on the master, release 31438295 (Europe, 2024, Parlophone, LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered), and the sleeve's '℗ 2015' remaster and '© 2024' dates fit it. A barcode is corroboration rather than proof, and the version list is incomplete by construction, so an uncatalogued pressing in this sleeve can't be ruled out. Neither label nor run-out can be seen without opening it, so the disc inside is unchecked; the sleeve carries the identification on its own.

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

Opening it and photographing both labels and both run-outs would check the disc against release 31438295.
