Label catalogue number 064-74 6363 1 against the sleeve's 067 7 46363 1: 3036999 is the only row in the master listing that pair. 11031828 and 2177140 carry 038-74 6363 1 on the labels.

Why this grade

Both labels carry 064-74 6363 1 (with (064-74 6363 1 A) / (064-74 6363 1 B) beneath), GEMA / STEMRA, LC 0542 and MADE IN EEC. on the rim, while the rear sleeve's code block reads 067 7 46363 1 over the barcode 0 77774 63631 5. Of the master's vinyl rows, only release 3036999 lists that pair (064-7 46363 1, 067-7 46363 1, with the note 'First cat# on labels and spine second cat# on backsleeve'). The two other rows that share the barcode and the 746 363 run-out, 11031828 and 2177140, both put 038-74 6363 1 on the labels, which these labels are not. The run-out read off the record -- 07724 A-1 and 746 363 1-A on side A, 746 363 1-B and 07724-B1 on side B, plus a hand-etched J.C. -- agrees with 3036999's Discogs entry, but every one of those strings is also on 11031828 and/or 2177140, so it corroborates rather than confirms. The numerals Discogs gives before J.C. on 3036999 (3 J.C. side A, 2 J.C. side B), which 11031828 does not list, could not be read here: the character before J.C. is too faint. That leaves one candidate on the label number alone, and the version list is incomplete by construction, so an uncatalogued pressing with these labels can't be ruled out.

What the record says

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

Side A: 07724 A-1 (hand-etched) and 746 363 1-A (stamped). Side B: 746 363 1-B and 07724-B1 (both stamped). A hand-etched J.C. on one side, preceded by a faint mark that could not be read; a separate hand-scratched mark on the other side is unreadable. Discogs (3036999) lists side A as 07724 A-1 746 363 1-A 3 J.C. and side B as 746 363 1-B 07724 B-1 2 J.C..

The object, and what marks it out

Sleeve, labels and inserts

  • Single-pocket view of the sleeve only: front and back photographed flat; whether it opens as a gatefold (as Discogs lists for 3036999) is not shown.
  • Black vinyl LP with the full-colour 'brain on a plate' labels on both sides; the side-one label has a small tear around the spindle hole.
  • Rear sleeve shows light edge and corner wear; the barcode sits on a white panel in the top-right corner.
  • No inner sleeve, insert or hype sticker photographed.

What distinguishes this pressing

  • Label catalogue number 064-74 6363 1 against the sleeve's 067 7 46363 1: 3036999 is the only row in the master listing that pair. 11031828 and 2177140 carry 038-74 6363 1 on the labels.
  • The 1983 1A 064-07724 rows (5294516, 28327795, 10658429, 4601102) carry a different catalogue number on the labels, and this copy has the barcode and the 746 363 run-out they predate.
  • Run-out strings 07724 A-1, 746 363 1-A, 746 363 1-B, 07724-B1 and J.C. are shared with 11031828 and 2177140, so they corroborate the family but do not single out 3036999.

Personnel, production and artwork credits are sourced from Discogs release 1839842, the UK original (EMI, EMA 800, 1983) 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.

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

A sharp, raking-light shot of the hand-etched J.C. on each side: Discogs gives 3036999 as 3 J.C. on side A and 2 J.C. on side B, and 11031828 lists plain J.C.. Reading those numerals would be a run-out detail tied to this release rather than shared. A photo of the opened sleeve and the spine would also show whether the spine carries 064-7 46363 1, as the Discogs note says.
