About this record
This UK Epic pressing carries four distinct dead-wax matrices (ABBA 10 A through ABBA 10 D, with C and D marked with asterisks) across its four sides, pressed by either Shorewood Packaging or CBS Aston Clinton — a detail that separates it from the concurrent 1982 German Polydor and 1983 Spanish Epic editions. The 23-track compilation arrives in a gatefold with custom inner sleeves, yet 77 copies currently listed for sale suggest supply outpaces the want signal: only 324 collectors actively seek it against 7736 who already own one.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire value proposition on this pressing. A Mint copy commands 43.42 USD, while Near Mint sits at 38.85 USD — a narrow gap that widens sharply as condition drops: VG+ reaches 29.71 USD, VG falls to 20.57 USD, and played copies (G+ through Poor) range from 11.43 USD down to 2.29 USD.
The current market floor of 6.34 USD reflects distressed inventory. With 77 copies in active sale, this is not rare, yet the UK pressing holds a premium over the German Polydor and Spanish reissues by virtue of its original-market status and CBS licensee provenance.
Community ownership (7736 have) vastly exceeds demand (324 want), indicating this is a holdings piece rather than a chase item.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the UK pressing by the Epic catalogue number ABBA 10 and the Made in England statement on the gatefold. Examine the dead-wax runout on each side: sides A and B should read ABBA 10 A and ABBA 10 B respectively, while sides C and D carry asterisks (ABBA 10 C * and ABBA 10 D ).
The pressing plant — either Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd. or CBS Pressing Plant, Aston Clinton — may appear in the runout but is not always legible. Grade by vinyl surface: Mint shows no play wear; Near Mint exhibits minimal hairline marks under bright light; VG+ allows light surface noise on quiet passages; VG accepts audible crackle between tracks.
Note that "The Name Of The Game" is the US Promo Edit (approximately 3:58), not the full 4:53 version listed on the sleeve, a pressing-specific quirk. The gatefold and custom inner sleeves must be intact to achieve higher grades.

Frequently asked
How much is this UK Epic pressing worth in different conditions?
A Mint copy is estimated at 43.42 USD, Near Mint at 38.85 USD, VG+ at 29.71 USD, and VG at 20.57 USD according to the price guide. These are reference estimates; actual sales vary. The steepest drop occurs below VG: a G+ copy falls to 11.43 USD, and Poor copies trade around 2.29 USD. The current lowest asking price across 77 active listings is 6.34 USD.
Is this the original 1982 pressing or a reissue?
This is the original 1982 UK pressing on Epic (catalogue ABBA 10), licensed by CBS Records for the United Kingdom. It is distinct from the concurrent 1982 German Polydor pressing (2612 040) and the later 1983 Spanish Epic reissue (EPC 88608). The gatefold and custom inner sleeves are original to this edition.
Why does the dead-wax show asterisks on sides C and D?
The matrix runout stamps read ABBA 10 C * and ABBA 10 D * on the third and fourth sides. The asterisks are pressing-plant notations, likely indicating a secondary or corrected plating. This detail distinguishes UK copies from other territorial pressings and can aid in identifying the exact pressing variant.
What is unusual about 'The Name Of The Game' on this pressing?
Although the sleeve and labels list it as the full-length track (4:53), the vinyl actually contains the US Promo Edit, which runs approximately 3:58 with a slightly longer fade. This is a known pressing quirk specific to this edition and should be verified by playing the track or checking the runtime.
Why are there so many copies for sale if this is a 1982 original?
With 7736 collectors owning this pressing and only 324 actively seeking one, supply far exceeds collector demand. The 77 current listings reflect a mature back-catalog title that is neither scarce nor highly sought. Most copies entered collections decades ago and remain there; those entering the resale market often price aggressively to move stock, which is why the lowest asking price (6.34 USD) sits well below the VG estimate (20.57 USD).
