Why this grade

Identified by the owner on 2026-11-13 as 6954314, the unofficial Europe copy of the 1988 Italian picture disc. The two Discogs entries share the catalogue number, barcode, printed text, poster, sticker and rights sheet, so the photographs alone could not separate them; Discogs separates them by the sleeve opening on the left, no clear rim on the disc and no matrix numbers, which the owner checked on the copy itself. Not the official Italian pressing 4133640.

The object, and what marks it out

Sleeve, labels and inserts

  • Die-cut blue card sleeve with the picture disc showing through the front.
  • Picture disc with printed artwork on both sides and no paper labels.
  • Folded Monsters of Rock poster for Modena, 10 settembre 1988, a round Modena sticker, and a small rights/tracklist sheet.

What distinguishes this pressing

  • Official Italian 1988 pressing (4133640): same catalogue number, same barcode, Italian print line. Discogs notes run-outs 7902580 A PD and 7902580 B PD; none photographed here.
  • Unofficial Europe copy (6954314): same catalogue number and barcode, and it reproduces the poster, sticker and rights sheet. Discogs says its sleeve opens on the left, its disc has no clear rim, and it carries no matrix numbers. None of those was settled from these photographs.

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

Settled on 2026-11-13 by the owner: release 6954314, the unofficial Europe copy, told from the official Italian 4133640 by the copy itself rather than by these photographs.
