Why this grade

Settled on 2026-11-13 on the rear-inlay print line, compared against the photographs on all three Brazilian Discogs entries. This copy's line reads ... DISTRIBUÍDO POR FONOBRAS DISTRIBUIDORA FONOGRÁFICA BRASILEIRA LTDA - EST. DO GABINAL 1521 RJ - CGC 29.010.519/0001-32 - SOB LICENÇA DE EMI-ODEON ... ℗ 1993 INDÚSTRIA BRASILEIRA MADE IN BRAZIL, with no barcode box. 7202217's photographed inlay carries that same Fonobras / Est. do Gabinal / ℗ 1993 line, and its company credits name Sonopress-Rimo da Amazônia and Fonobrás. The other two are later inlays: 7837601 and 3753233 both read DISTRIBUÍDO POR EMI-ODEON FONOG. IND. E ELET. LTDA - ROD. PRES. DUTRA ... GUARULHOS, SP ... ℗ 1994, and 3753233 also has a barcode box (670 827511 2 over 7 24382 75112 0) that this inlay lacks. The discs do not separate them: all three show the same Fonobras disc print, and this copy's two rings are exactly 7837601's variant 2 -- shared discs under a reprinted inlay. 7202217 records no Matrix / Runout lines at all, so the rings neither confirm nor contradict it; its listed barcode 7 24382 75112 0 does not appear on its own photographed inlay either.

What the record says

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

Both inner mirror rings were photographed up close and read. Disc 1 reads SONOPRESS L-0001 / 827.512-2 A1; the final 1 of L-0001 sits across the frame break between the two photographs, and the spacing around the / is uncertain, so it was kept as a single space either side. Disc 2 reads SONOPRESS L-0002-1/827.513-2 A1. These are the matrix strings read off the discs. Discogs records no rings for 7202217; both strings appear exactly as variant 2 of 7837601, a later inlay over the same discs.

Discogs records no matrix entries for this release.

The object, and what marks it out

Sleeve, labels and inserts

  • Double jewel case, two discs, both silver-faced CDs with printed labels in black and white. The inlay is a single printed sheet with the cover on the front and the tracklist on the back.

What distinguishes this pressing

  • A Brazilian pressing at Sonopress, Manaus, distributed by Fonobras. Catalogue reads 670 827511 2 on the rear inlay, 8 27511 2 on the spine, and 827512 2 / 827513 2 on the disc faces.
  • Rear-inlay distributor line: Fonobras, Est. do Gabinal 1521 RJ, ℗ 1993 -- the 1993 inlay of 7202217. The ℗ 1994 inlays of 7837601 and 3753233 name EMI-Odeon at Guarulhos instead, and 3753233 adds a barcode box.
  • The mirror rings are not a separator here: they equal 7837601's variant 2 exactly, because the Brazilian discs carry the same Fonobras print across all three entries.

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 7202217, by the rear-inlay print line (Fonobras, ℗ 1993, no barcode box) matched against each candidate's photographed inlay.
