TOCP-8067·68 is the catalogue number of both surviving candidates, so it corroborates Japan and the Toshiba EMI edition and does not separate them.
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 raking-light photographs, one disc each. Disc 1: the ring reads TOCP-8067 (IMG_7665) followed by 1A1 TO (IMG_7666). Disc 2: the ring reads TOCP-8068 (IMG_7667) followed by 2A2 TO (IMG_7668). The zero in 8067 and 8068 is slashed, and the O in TO is square-cut like the O in TOCP, so it is read as the letter. Which disc each frame shows is taken from the number in the ring itself (8067/1A1 is disc 1, 8068/2A2 is disc 2). No IFPI or SID code was legible in any frame. Both strings are recorded on 2788375 (and on the promo 11604989).
Disc 1: TOCP-8067 1A1 TO — this copy's ring IS CD1 Variant 1 & 2 of the 3 matrix entries Discogs records.
Disc 2: TOCP-8068 2A2 TO — this copy's ring IS CD2 Variant 1 of the 3 matrix entries Discogs records.

The object, and what marks it out
Sleeve, labels and inserts
- Two-disc CD set in a double jewel case with a cream-white tray, a white printed front insert, a rear inlay carrying both tracklists, and a Japanese-annotated booklet.
- A white paper obi with black and red print wraps the left edge of the case.
- Both discs are silver with black print, marked Made in Japan by Toshiba-EMI, and carry the EMI and JASRAC logos.
What distinguishes this pressing
- TOCP-8067·68 is the catalogue number of both surviving candidates, so it corroborates Japan and the Toshiba EMI edition and does not separate them.
- The barcode 4 988006 691315 and the Toshiba EMI print block are shared by the whole Japanese issue and do not separate the two entries.
- The rings TOCP-8067 1A1 TO / TOCP-8068 2A2 TO are recorded on both 2788375 and the promo 11604989, so they do not separate them.
- Blank clear hubs on both discs. The promo 11604989 has
SAMPLE NOT FOR SALEprinted in white on both hubs, and a red 見本 stamp on the rear inlay; this copy has neither.

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 2788375, the stock issue. Both disc hubs are blank where the promo 11604989 prints SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE, and the rear inlay has no 見本 stamp.
