What the record says
Every line below was read off a native-resolution crop of the photograph named beside it.
Both mirror rings were photographed close up under raking light and read at native resolution. Disc one (the orange-wheel disc): 'WWW.MEDIAMOTION.COM 3365772' (IMG_7232.jpeg), '3365772 @ 1' (IMG_7233.jpeg; the '1' after the '@' is faint but present), the stamper '010111-NL' (IMG_7231.jpeg), and mastering code 'IFPI LW04' (IMG_7234.jpeg). Disc two (the red-wheel disc): 'WWW.MEDIAMOTION.COM 3365792' (IMG_7236.jpeg), '3365792 @ 1' (IMG_7237.jpeg), the stamper '010113-NL' (IMG_7235.jpeg), and 'IFPI LW04' (IMG_7238.jpeg). Read together, disc one is 'WWW.MEDIAMOTION.COM 3365772 @ 1 010111-NL' and disc two is 'WWW.MEDIAMOTION.COM 3365792 @ 1 010113-NL'. No mould SID code was photographed.
Disc 1: WWW.MEDIAMOTION.COM 3365772 @ 1 010111-NL — this copy's ring IS Disc One, variant 8 of the 32 matrix entries Discogs records.
Disc 2: WWW.MEDIAMOTION.COM 3365792 @ 1 010113-NL — this copy's ring matches 2 of the 32 matrix entries Discogs records — Disc Two, variant 5 and Disc Two, variant 8 — which record the same string, so it cannot be narrowed to one.

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
Pinned to 1764105 by both mirror rings, which match its variant 8 exactly; a shot of the moulded ifpi codes on the clear hubs would add one more check.
