Yugoslavia
Orange label on a black shell - what excludes the fourth candidate: 13947359 is the 1990 reissue and is recorded with a clear shell.

What distinguishes this pressing
- Orange label on a black shell - what excludes the fourth candidate: 13947359 is the 1990 reissue and is recorded with a clear shell.
Made in Yugoslaviaon both labels - an explicit manufacturing statement, read off the object. Shared by all four rows.SOKOJandBIEM- the Yugoslav rights society and the international bureau, recorded for every one of the four rows. Territory-wide; separates nothing.- Catalogue number
CAEMI 9328- the match axis. It returns four rows. - The shell moulding is the deciding feature and is not resolved here. Two of the three survivors describe themselves as differing from the base row only in the shell, pointing at their own images to show it. These photographs frame the label, not the moulded detail around it.

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 by the owner on 2026-09-18 -- the closing paragraph of this section says so, and the grade above follows it. What comes first is the photographic case exactly as it stood before that, present tense and all: where it says this copy stops at Narrowed, it means the photographs stop there, which is still true and is why the candidates are still listed.
Three rows survive, and the thing that separates them is the one thing these photographs do not show. The catalogue number returns four Yugoslav rows. The orange-label-on-black-shell combination excludes 13947359, the 1990 clear-shell reissue, and matches the other three exactly.
29704777 and 31773431 both describe themselves as similar to 4386167, orange labels on black shell, but with different shell, and refer the reader to their images rather than naming what differs. So the deciding evidence is the shell's own moulding - the rib pattern, the screw positions, the shape of the window - and the frames here are composed on the label.
What would settle it: photographs of the bare shell from both faces, framed on the plastic rather than the paper, compared against the images on those three Discogs rows. That is a real check and a cheap one - the tape is in hand.
Standing caveat: this method cannot exclude a Yugoslav pressing absent from Discogs.
Pinned by the owner, 2026-09-18. Everything above is what the photographs support on their own, and it is left standing unedited. On top of it the owner, holding the cassette and reading the candidate release pages against it, identifies this copy as Discogs 4386167, and the folder is graded on that. It is an owner's judgement, not a new detail in the frames: withdraw it and the case reverts to the narrowing above.
