Why this grade

the second copy of the US Capitol retail issue on this shelf, with folder 61. The manufacturing block again ends Printed in U.S.A. beside C4-90258, and the shell again reads PROGRAM 1 / PROGRAM 2 with the boxed XDR. It grades identically to folder 61, for identical reasons: the promo row 8996936 is excluded because this copy carries the retail issue's U-card, and the catalogue number and country are both printed on the object

The object, and what marks it out

Sleeve, labels and inserts

  • Shell - clear plastic printed directly in white, sides named PROGRAM 1 / PROGRAM 2, identical to folder 61.
  • Inlay - the same six-panel U-card, here rubbed along the folds with the printing worn at the spine.
  • Condition - poorer than folder 61: the card is creased across both folds and scuffed at the head, and the front panel has a dark rub mark. Every quoted string is still legible.

What distinguishes this pressing

  • Printed in U.S.A. in the Capitol manufacturing block - the same country statement folder 61 carries, read off this copy's own card rather than assumed from its twin.
  • Catalogue number C4-90258 - on the spine, the U-card and both shell faces.
  • The six-panel U-card - matches 805636's note and excludes the promo row 8996936.
  • Nothing distinguishes this copy from folder 61 on any surface photographed. They are two copies of one release, and are recorded as such rather than being made to look like different pressings.

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.
  • Shell: light surface marks and handling wear are visible. No visible warping, tape spillage or shell 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, identically to folder 61 and by the same evidence. This is the second copy of 805636 on the shelf. The manufacturing block ends Printed in U.S.A., the catalogue number C4-90258 appears on four surfaces, and the six-panel U-card excludes 8996936, the promo row sharing that number.

Two copies of one release are worth cataloguing separately - condition and provenance differ even when the pressing does not - but nothing here should be read as a claim that they are different pressings. Nothing photographed distinguishes them.

Standing caveat: this method cannot exclude a US pressing absent from Discogs.
