About this record
This 1980 Atlantic pressing of Super Trouper bears dual-plant matrix codes—Specialty Records Corporation (marked 'SP' in the runout) and Atlantic Recording Corporation both appear across the four dead-wax strings. The US Atlantic release SD 16023 coexists with simultaneous 1980 pressings from Epic (UK), Polar (Sweden), Vogue (France), and Pan-Vox (Greece), yet the American pressing commands distinct pricing driven by condition sensitivity and modest current supply.
What drives its value
At 57 copies currently for sale, this US Atlantic pressing shows a steep condition-dependent spread: Mint reaches 21.82 USD, while a played VG+ drops to 14.93 USD and VG falls to 10.33 USD. The lowest asking price sits at 3.45 USD, indicating heavy wear stock.
Community data reveals 3770 collectors own a copy against 387 who want one—a 9.7-to-1 ratio typical of a widely distributed 1980 release. The Atlantic pressing's value relative to the Swedish Polar, UK Epic, and French Vogue editions reflects its higher original North American pressing volume; scarcity is not the driver here.
Instead, grade separation and the presence of both Specialty and Atlantic plant codes create micro-market variation among dealers seeking specific pressings.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number SD 16023 on the front cover and Atlantic label. The four matrix runout strings—ST-A-804593-SP, ST-A-804594-SP, S2 ST-A-804594-A SP, and S1 ST-A-804593-B SP—identify the Specialty Records Corporation pressing plant (marked 'SP').
The release notes state 'Mfg. by Atlantic Records Corp.' on the label, yet the 'SP' suffix in the dead wax indicates Specialty handled the actual pressing. No barcode appears on this edition.
Grading should account for surface noise accumulation typical of 1980 Atlantic stock; even NM copies often show faint ticking. The back cover states 'Printed in U.S.A.' and credits Polar Music Studios, Stockholm as the recording location.
Promo copies exist with a gold 'Promotional Copy / Not For Sale' stamp and an Atlantic Records sticker; these are distinct from stock copies.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between the 'SP' and 'MO' matrix codes mentioned in the notes?
The 'SP' suffix in the runout (as seen on ST-A-804593-SP and ST-A-804594-SP) indicates Specialty Records Corporation pressed the record. The release notes mention an alternate 'MO' code (Monarch pressing) exists for the same catalogue number SD 16023, representing a different manufacturing run. Both are legitimate 1980 Atlantic US pressings; the matrix code is the only way to distinguish which plant handled your copy.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 14.93 USD. This represents an estimate as of the guide's date and reflects typical market asking prices; actual sales may vary. The jump from VG (10.33 USD) to VG+ shows condition is the primary value lever on this pressing.
Why is there such a large price gap between Mint and VG copies?
Mint copies are valued at 21.82 USD while VG drops to 10.33 USD—a reflection of how 1980 Atlantic pressings deteriorate. Surface noise and light scratches are nearly universal on played copies from this era, and collectors of ABBA's disco-era work often demand cleaner stock. The 57 copies currently listed show wide grade distribution; most are likely in VG or lower, which explains why the lowest asking price is only 3.45 USD.
Is the US Atlantic pressing rarer than the UK Epic or Swedish Polar versions?
No. The community data shows 3770 collectors own a copy, suggesting high original pressing volume. The simultaneous 1980 releases on Epic (UK), Polar (Sweden), Vogue (France), and Pan-Vox (Greece) indicate this was a coordinated international release. The US Atlantic pressing is not scarce relative to other 1980 editions; its value is driven by condition and pressing-plant specificity rather than rarity.
Do promotional copies command a premium?
The release notes document promo copies with a gold 'Promotional Copy / Not For Sale' stamp and an Atlantic Records sticker listing suggested cuts. These are noted as existing but are not separately priced in the guide. Promo stock is typically less desirable to collectors than stock copies because the stamp and sticker reduce visual appeal; they may sell for less than equivalent-grade stock pressings.
