About this record
The dead wax of this copy carries the telling marks: the A1 runout reads "CBS 26229 A1 timtom: cbs" and the B-side runouts carry "TY" and "L" codes. The release notes say the Tim Young (Timtom/TY) and cbs mastering credits are the difference, because an otherwise identical version exists without them.
Those etched credits are the first thing to check before anything else, since they separate the two pressings of Alf. Alison Moyet's 1984 UK LP on CBS is a nine-track album, so the sleeve and runout details are where the real identification happens.
What drives its value
Price on Alf follows the grade closely. The price guide gives USD 14.55 for Mint, 13.02 for Near Mint, 9.96 for VG+, and 6.89 for VG, running down to 0.77 for Poor.
The lowest current listing is USD 0.89, and 351 copies are for sale, so the market is well supplied at the low end. Demand is strong: 9199 community members have the release and 148 want it, a ratio that favours sellers of clean copies over buyers paying premiums.
Within the release family, the version carrying the Tim Young and cbs mastering credits is the one this page covers, and the notes say a second version without those credits is otherwise identical. That distinction is the main lever on what a copy of this exact pressing is worth.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this exact pressing by reading the dead wax. The A1 runout should read "CBS 26229 A1 timtom: cbs", and the B-side runouts should carry "TY" and the "L" code.
Those etched marks are the Tim Young and cbs mastering credits that define this version. Check the label for the printed label code beside the CBS logo, and match the catalogue number CBS 26229.
The release notes say the runouts are etched, so the marks should be cut into the vinyl rather than written on it; look under good light at an angle. The pressing plant listed for this release is CBS Pressing Plant, Aston Clinton.
Grade the disc after identifying the matrix, using the price guide grades from Mint to Poor. Because the version without the Tim Young and cbs credits is otherwise identical, a missing runout credit means you do not have this pressing.
