About this record
The Malligator pressing of Cerrone 3 (Supernature) stamped with the A.R.E.A.C.E.M. plant mark in the runout represents a 1977 French repress distributed through WEA, distinct from the Italian Atlantic edition released the same year. Demand significantly outpaces supply: 2318 collectors want this pressing against 6282 who own one, yet only 33 copies are listed for sale across the market.
What drives its value
This repress trades on a steep condition curve. A Mint copy commands 75.22 USD, while a Near Mint drops to 67.30 USD—a modest premium for flawless vinyl.
The real cliff appears at VG+, valued at 51.47 USD, then VG at 35.63 USD, a gap that reflects how disco-era pressings from this plant show groove wear quickly under repeated play. The want-to-have ratio of 2318 to 6282 suggests steady collector interest without scarcity panic; the presence of 33 active listings at a floor of 4.34 USD indicates a market flooded with played copies.
The French Malligator catalogue number 773803 and WEA distribution distinguish it from the Italian Atlantic pressing (F 50431), making country of origin a secondary value driver after condition.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 773803 on the spine and label. The runout etchings on both sides read 773803-A and 773803-B; the stamped portion bears the Malligator J 1611 designation and the A.R.E.A.C.E.M. plant logo.
The inner gatefold credits Trident Studios (London, recorded June–August 1977), WEA Filipacchi Music distribution, and Sacem publishing. Grading hinges on groove condition and surface noise: the A.R.E.A.C.E.M. pressing tends toward light surface marks even when played sparingly, so VG+ requires minimal ticks and a quiet background.
Check the dead wax stamp—if the logo is crisp and the etchings clean, the record was likely pressed late in the run and may grade higher. Play-wear on the opening grooves is the primary wear vector on this repress; light scratches in the run-out area do not affect playback and do not drop a Mint grade to NM.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between this Malligator pressing and the Italian Atlantic version from the same year?
Both were released in 1977, but the Malligator (catalogue 773803, France) was pressed at A.R.E.A.C.E.M. and distributed by WEA Filipacchi Music, while the Atlantic pressing (F 50431, Italy) originated from a different plant and distribution chain. The runout matrix codes differ: this French edition is marked 773803-A/B with the A.R.E.A.C.E.M. stamp, whereas the Italian pressing carries its own plant identifier. The Malligator edition is the repress; the release notes confirm it derives from Areacem masters but with a different rights society and price code.
Why does condition matter so much on this record?
The price spread is extreme: a Mint copy is worth 75.22 USD, but a VG drops to 35.63 USD—more than half the value lost for moderate play wear. A.R.E.A.C.E.M. pressings from this era are prone to light surface noise and micro-scratches even with careful handling, so the jump from VG+ (51.47 USD) to VG (35.63 USD) reflects how quickly groove wear becomes audible on disco funk records. Buyers of unplayed stock pay the premium; played copies flood the market at the 4.34 USD floor.
How many copies are actually available right now?
33 copies are currently listed for sale across the market, with the lowest asking price at 4.34 USD. This suggests ample supply of worn or poor-condition stock, but very few Mint or NM examples. The want-to-have ratio (2318 want, 6282 have) indicates this is not a rare record, but demand for high-grade copies still exceeds the number of pristine pressings offered.
Is the barcode present on this pressing?
No. This 1977 Malligator repress has no barcode. The catalogue number 773803 and price code appear on the label and gatefold, but scanning is not an option for verification. Identify this pressing by the runout matrix (773803-A/B), the A.R.E.A.C.E.M. plant stamp, and the WEA distribution credit on the inner gatefold.
What does the community rating tell me about sound quality?
The record holds a 4.35 rating from 609 community votes, indicating solid approval among owners. This suggests the pressing quality and mastering are consistent and listenable, though the rating does not account for condition variation. A high rating does not guarantee your copy will sound clean; it reflects the baseline sound of the Trident Studios master and the pressing's technical competence, not the condition of any individual unit you may encounter.
