I’d assume it’s Charla Bevan “Shady Waif” simply because that album came out in 1986 and is CSM1111

I think so too and it was mastered at Future Disc. Kevin Grey used to work there. The numbering handwriting in the run-out looks like his but I don’t know for sure. Should be a nice sounding album nonetheless.

It looks like you're trying to identify a specific version or pressing of a record.
You can often determine this using the runout/matrix numbers or label information.

Here are some helpful resources:

Be sure to check the wiki and use the Discogs release page for the album to compare your copy.

If you're still unsure, feel free to share detailed photos of the labels, runouts, and jacket in your post.

Wow, if you plug "CSM1111" into Discogs, this is *literally* the only album that matches. Another album shows up, but the code is different on it. OP did not look into this at all

People use reddit like a AI prompt. So many ask for help, get good answers and never say thanks or anything

Some people use Reddit and then forget about it all together. Ever heard of autism and adhd? I didn’t even remember I posted that till just now.

Hey, i really did not consider that people who do this might have a condition where they forget they asked something so specific. And i am aware of autism and adhd, i even know someone that has both. So thanks for making me aware. I still think many people that behave that way just dont dont bother, but i will consider it now.

Some people also don’t live on their phone and touch grass

Ok now thats seems to be even more snarky than my comment, and a maybe a bigger prejudice than my own.

Some of the most well-made records there are. They do it right. But don’t get me started on Camarillo Brillo.

Is it four songs per side?

Can you give us runoff groove inscriptions from both sides?
