About this record
This 2003 European reissue on Epic catalogue EPC 510765 1 was mastered from the original tapes by George Marino at Sterling Sound and pressed at Record Industry, stamped in the runout with matrix 5107651000 1A1 and 5107651000 1B1. The 180-gram vinyl arrived in a matt black-and-white inner sleeve with embossed front artwork and a silver hype sticker marked ORAW 09032-S1, distinguishing it sharply from the concurrent 2003 US Columbia pressings and the later 2009 European reissue.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this pressing: a Mint copy commands 58.11 USD, while Near Mint drops to 51.99 USD, VG+ sits at 39.76 USD, and a Good+ specimen reaches only 15.29 USD. The spread from Mint to VG is substantial, reflecting how wear on the remaster's high-fidelity pressing affects collector value.
Currently 37 copies are listed for sale, with the lowest asking 1.35 USD—a floor price far below even Poor grade. Community data shows 5857 collectors own this pressing against 726 who want it, indicating steady supply but persistent demand.
As the EU variant of a 2003 reissue cycle that included US Columbia pressings, this Epic/Albert Productions edition occupies a middle tier: newer than the original 1980 Atlantic SD 16018, but earlier and potentially more sought than the 2009 Columbia reissue.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the label imprint Epic and catalogue number EPC 510765 1 paired with barcode 5107651000 on the back cover. The dead-wax etching reads 5107651000 1A1 (side A) and 5107651000 1B1 (side B); note that the etched numeral 1 resembles the letter l, a known quirk of this pressing.
The label itself bears the framed code LC 00199 and the rights companies SACEM, SDRM, SACD, SGDL framed, with BIEM unframed and GEMA absent—this rights-statement pattern is specific to the EU pressing. Grading should account for the 180-gram vinyl's susceptibility to surface marks: examine both sides under light for hairline scratches that reduce shine.
The matt inner sleeve and embossed front cover are original to this edition; any creasing or foxing on the black-and-white photo insert affects overall grade. The hype sticker, if present and intact, adds visual appeal but is not a grading factor.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number for this 2003 European pressing?
Epic EPC 510765 1, with barcode 5107651000. The back cover and labels both carry this designation. Do not confuse it with the 2003 US Columbia pressing (E 80207) or the 2009 European Columbia reissue (5107651).
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ specimen is valued at 39.76 USD. This represents a record in light play with minimal surface noise and no skips—appropriate for a 180-gram remaster that has seen careful handling but regular use.
What is the price difference between Mint and Good+ condition?
A Mint copy is priced at 58.11 USD, while a Good+ copy reaches 15.29 USD. The gap reflects the remaster's sensitivity to wear; even moderate play on 180-gram vinyl introduces audible surface noise that collectors of this pressing actively avoid.
Who remastered this pressing and where?
George Marino remastered it from the original master tapes at Sterling Sound. This credit appears on the back cover and is a key selling point for buyers seeking the highest fidelity from the 1980 recording sessions at Compass Point Studios.
