Matrix / Runout (Runout side A, variant 1): B0030217-01-A 10-86401/B003021701-A 191308E1/A1 AI SIDE-A First, the record is far from being 'near silent'. Its surface noises are okay and I can live with it, but 'near silent'... come on. I can still hear groove noises at almost any time if I want to (which is not the case for genuinely 'near silent' records). It can be differentiated from the later reissue Dr. Dre - The Chronic, by the different runout etchings: This version has been cut by David Cheppa.
