This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “Original number '12865' is likely LP2865 (OCR misread L as 1 and dropped P). The surrounding record for 'The Devil's due' shows L2866, confirming the pattern.”
