About this record
The Columbia Records Pressing Plant in Pitman stamped STERLING P into the dead wax of this 1978 RSO pressing (catalogue RS-1-3034), distinguishing it from earlier RSO Records, Inc. variants where runouts were etched rather than stamped. The matrix RS-1-3040-AS-CP and RS-1-3040-BS-CP sides carry this plant signature, marking a mid-run production shift.
Demand sits at 249 want against 5199 have, placing this title in the deep catalog tier where supply vastly outpaces collector interest.
What drives its value
Shadow Dancing trades on condition severity rather than rarity. A Mint copy commands 21.85 USD, but the spread compresses sharply: NM drops to 19.55, VG+ to 14.95, and VG to 10.35.
The lowest asking price across 105 active listings sits at 1.19 USD, reflecting the glut of copies in circulation. The Pitman pressing plant variant (identifiable by stamped STERLING P in the runout) does not command a premium over RSO Records, Inc. pressings; both are common.
The 1978 original issue on RSO has not appreciated—the want-to-have ratio of 249 to 5199 confirms this is a high-volume title where even NM copies struggle to hold value above 19.55 USD.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number RS-1-3034 on the spine and label. The runout etchings on both sides will read RS-1-3034-A and RS-1-3034-B; if the dead wax instead shows RS-1-3040-AS-CP STERLING P (side A) or RS-1-3040-BS-CP 1 D2 STERLING P (side B), you hold the Pitman plant variant where STERLING and the plant marker were stamped rather than etched.
The absence of a barcode on the back cover is standard for this 1978 release. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: hairline scratches and light dust settle a VG+ copy at 14.95 USD; deeper surface noise and visible wear drop it to VG at 10.35 USD.
The 10-track album should play without skips; any locked groove or tracking distortion signals condition below VG.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between the RSO Records, Inc. and Pitman pressings?
Both are original 1978 US issues on RSO (catalogue RS-1-3034), but the pressing plant varies. RSO Records, Inc. pressings have etched runouts reading RS-1-3034-A and RS-1-3034-B. The Pitman plant variant shows RS-1-3040-AS-CP STERLING P and RS-1-3040-BS-CP 1 D2 STERLING P in the dead wax, with STERLING and the plant marker stamped rather than etched. Neither variant commands a price premium; both are common.
Why is a Mint copy worth 21.85 USD but the lowest asking price is 1.19 USD?
The price guide figure of 21.85 USD reflects estimated value for a Mint-graded copy as of the guide's publication. The 1.19 USD floor across 105 active listings represents actual market clearing price—heavily played or damaged copies, or bulk lots, sell at this floor. Most copies in circulation grade VG or lower, where the guide values them at 10.35 USD or less.
How do I grade this record accurately?
Play the record under good lighting to assess surface noise and visible wear. A VG+ copy (14.95 USD) shows light scratches and minimal dust but plays cleanly. A VG copy (10.35 USD) has audible surface noise and visible scratches but no skips. Below VG, tracking distortion and locked grooves become common. The 10 tracks should play without interruption at VG or higher.
Is this a reissue or an original 1978 pressing?
This is an original 1978 US pressing on RSO (RS-1-3034). The release notes indicate it is nearly identical to a variant with a different label on the vinyl and no numbers on the top right of the back cover, but both are original issues from the same year and label.
Why do 5199 collectors have this but only 249 want it?
The want-to-have ratio of 249 to 5199 reflects a saturated market: this is a high-volume 1978 disco title that sold widely and remains common in used collections. Few collectors actively seek it because supply far exceeds demand. The community rating of 3.78 out of 5 (based on 250 ratings) suggests modest appeal, typical of catalog disco titles that lack novelty or scarcity.
