Why this grade

Settled on 2026-11-13 against the five Discogs entries carrying 7243 8 27511 2 0 / CDDON 1, each fetched and its Matrix / Runout lines compared. Only 394852 fits: Made in Holland, pressed by EMI Uden, BIEM/STEMRA, and its notes say Printed in UK, as this rear inlay does. 6012132 is the same Dutch pressing but says Printed in Holland and lists only rings 1-1-1-NL / 1-1-2-NL. 2227440 is the EMI Swindon (Made in UK) issue, 2863285 is the Italian repress with Swindon rings, and 11091723 is a later Dutch repress with rings 1-1-7-NL to 1-1-10-NL. Disc 2 827513 2 @ 1 1-1-4-NL is 394852 variant 4 exactly. Disc 1 827512 2 @ 1 1-1-3-NL is not among the disc 1 rings 394852 records (1-1-2, 1-1-4, 1-1-6-NL), so this copy carries an undocumented disc 1 stamper of the same release; the owner read it directly off disc 1 to rule out a disc mix-up.

What the record says

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

Inner mirror ring read from close-up photographs, one disc each. Disc 1: the outer line reads 827512 2 @ 1 (IMG_7641) and the inner etched line reads 1-1-3-NL (IMG_7642). Disc 2: the outer line reads 827513 2 @ 1 (IMG_7643) and the inner etched line reads 1-1-4-NL (IMG_7644). IMG_7642 carries no disc number of its own; on 2026-11-13 the owner read the inner ring directly off disc 1 and confirmed it is 1-1-3-NL, so the pairing is no longer resting on shot order. No mould or mastering SID code was legible in any frame.

Disc 1: 827512 2 @ 1 1-1-3-NL — not among the 10 matrix entries Discogs records: an undocumented stamper.

Disc 2: 827513 2 @ 1 1-1-4-NL — this copy's ring IS Disc 2, variant 4 of the 10 matrix entries Discogs records.

The object, and what marks it out

Sleeve, labels and inserts

  • Two-disc CD set in a standard double jewel case with a white printed front insert and a rear inlay showing both tracklists.
  • Both discs are silver with black print and carry the EMI United Kingdom logo, and both are marked Made in Holland.
  • Both discs have light surface scratches near the ring; no promo marking seen.

What distinguishes this pressing

  • Barcode 7 24382 75112 0 and 7243 8 27511 2 0 are shared by every pressing of this release, so they corroborate the release and do not separate pressings.
  • Made in Holland on the discs with PRINTED IN UK on the inlay is the pair that separates 394852 from 6012132 (Printed in Holland); the NL rings rule out the Swindon issues 2227440 and 2863285.
  • Disc 2 ring 827513 2 @ 1 1-1-4-NL matches 394852 exactly; disc 1 ring 827512 2 @ 1 1-1-3-NL is an undocumented stamper of the same release, confirmed by the owner off the disc.
  • Italy 752272 and the promo 34792430 carry 7243 8 27511 2 0 but their listed catalogue numbers lack CDDON 1, which this copy shows on both discs and the rear.

Production credits are sourced from Discogs release 2592983, the UK original limited-edition triple LP (DON 1, 1993) and this master's main release, and apply to the recording rather than to this pressing.

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 on 2026-11-13: release 394852, by plant (Made in Holland), print country (Printed in UK) and the disc 2 ring; the disc 1 ring 1-1-3-NL was read off the disc by the owner and is not yet listed on Discogs.
