About this record

Two catalogue numbers sit on this one Canadian pressing: WFC 36865 printed on the spine and FC 36865 on the labels, a split that is itself the first thing to verify. Stamped in the dead wax, the side-B runout reads BL-36865-1A-2HDZ: 2 DM-33, with the trailing digit flagged as uncertain in the release notes, so the matrix is worth reading carefully before any price is applied.

The record was reissued in Canada in the mid 80s and carries a simple clear inner sleeve.

What drives its value

The price_guide for this pressing runs from 35.95 USD at Mint down to 17.03 USD at VG, with Near Mint at 32.17 USD, VG+ at 24.60 USD, and Good Plus at 9.46 USD. Those endpoints show how steeply value falls once surface wear enters the picture, and the Mint figure is the ceiling a clean copy can reach.

The lowest current listing is 15.73 USD, and only 2 copies are for sale, so the live market is thin and a single listing can move the perceived floor. Community demand shows 957 collectors who have a copy and 109 who want one, meaning ownership is far more common than active buying interest.

Among the other_pressings, the 1980 US release on Columbia under FC 36865 and the 1997 European reissue under COL 487350 2 are distinct editions, so a buyer should not assume that a Canadian copy and a US copy share the same market. Prices above are estimates as of the price guide date.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm the pressing by reading the spine and the labels first, since WFC 36865 on the spine and FC 36865 on the labels are both expected on this Canadian release, and a mismatch would point elsewhere. Next, check the dead wax: the release notes say every runout variant is etched except the number after DM, which is stamped.

The side-A matrix AL-36865-1A-2HDZ: DM 51 and side-B matrix BL-36865-1A-2HDZ: 2 DM-33 should match this etching-and-stamping pattern, and the uncertain trailing digit on side B should be read against the wider data instead of assumed. Look for SPC LITHO IN CANADA on the spine to confirm the Canadian print.

The pressing plants associated with this release are CBS Records Canada Ltd., CBS Disques Canada Ltee, and the Columbia Records Pressing Plant in Don Mills, ON. Grade the disc under the usual scale against the price_guide tiers, and treat the inner sleeve as a clear simple insert, not a gatefold.

Frequently asked

What is a VG+ copy of this record worth?

The price_guide lists a VG+ value of 24.60 USD. This is an estimate as of the price guide date, not a guaranteed sale price.

What is the difference between the spine catalogue number and the label catalogue number?

The release notes state that WFC 36865 is printed on the spine and FC 36865 is printed on the labels. Both appear on this Canadian pressing, so finding both is consistent with the description.

What is the lowest current price for this record?

The lowest listed price is 15.73 USD, and only 2 copies are currently for sale, which means the market is limited and the floor can change quickly.

How does this Canadian pressing differ from the 1980 US release?

The 1980 US pressing is listed under Columbia with catalogue FC 36865 and a different country code, so it is a separate edition that should be verified on its own runout and labels rather than assumed to match.

Is the trailing digit on the side-B runout certain?

No. The release notes flag the final character of the side-B variant 3 runout as possibly a 4, so it should be read carefully and not treated as a settled reading.
