About this record
The runout matrix ST-A-763767 and ST-A-763768 stamped in the dead wax identifies this as an RCA Music Service Club Edition pressing from the Indianapolis plant, not the standard Atlantic retail release. Pressed in 1977 for the US market, this variant carries the printed label designation "RCA Music Service Edition" and arrives with a printed inner sleeve—hallmarks of the original club-edition run rather than a later reissue.
What drives its value
This Club Edition commands a steep condition-dependent premium. A Mint copy reaches 32.78 USD, while a VG+ drops to 22.43 USD and a VG settles at 15.53 USD; the lowest asking price across 8 active listings is 9.57 USD.
The spread reflects how heavily collectors weight pressing plant and edition status: the RCA Music Service variant sits apart from the 1976 Swedish Polar original (POLS 272) and the Yugoslav PGP RTB pressing (LP 55-5636). Community demand is robust—318 want it against 976 who own one—signaling strong collector interest in US club pressings of this title.
Supply is tight, with only 8 copies for sale, which sustains pricing above typical retail-edition floor.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by checking the label for the printed text "RCA Music Service Edition" and the catalogue number SD 18207. Examine both sides of the dead wax: Side A should read ST-A-763767 with R 143503 A below it; Side B should show ST-A-763768 with R 143503 B.
The pressing plant credit—RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis—may appear on the label or in the runout. The record contains 10 tracks recorded at Metronome Studio during 1976, with copyright splits between Countless Songs Ltd. (BMI) and Artwork Music Co. Inc. (ASCAP).
A printed inner sleeve accompanies the original release. No barcode appears on this edition.
Grading should account for the Club Edition status: even light surface wear reduces value sharply because collectors prize these variants in near-mint condition.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this RCA Music Service Club Edition apart from the standard Atlantic retail pressing?
The label must print "RCA Music Service Edition" and carry catalogue number SD 18207. Check the dead wax on both sides: Side A reads ST-A-763767 with R 143503 A; Side B reads ST-A-763768 with R 143503 B. The pressing plant credit RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis confirms the club variant. Standard Atlantic pressings lack this label text and matrix pattern.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 22.43 USD. This represents a significant drop from the 32.78 USD Mint price, reflecting how sensitive club-edition values are to condition. The estimate is current as of the guide's publication date.
How rare is this pressing compared to other Arrival editions?
Only 8 copies are currently for sale, indicating tight supply. The Club Edition is scarcer than the 1976 Swedish Polar original (POLS 272) or the Yugoslav PGP RTB pressing (LP 55-5636), which circulate more freely. The 318 collectors seeking it against 976 who own one underscores its desirability within the ABBA collector base.
What is the lowest price I should expect to pay?
The lowest asking price across active listings is 9.57 USD. However, this likely represents a heavily played or damaged copy. A VG graded example typically sells for 15.53 USD, while VG+ copies command 22.43 USD according to the price guide.
Does this Club Edition include an inner sleeve?
Yes, the original RCA Music Service release comes with a printed inner sleeve. This is a distinguishing feature of the club edition and should be present on original copies. Its presence or absence affects both authenticity assessment and collector appeal.
