About this record

The UK pressing of ChangesOneBowie carries catalogue number RS 1055 and bears an orange RCA Victor label with white company info and black text — a detail that distinguishes it from the concurrent US release (APL1-1732) and later 2016 reissues. The dead-wax matrix strings RS 1055-A-5E .M.

PN-A A3AI and RS 1055-B-2E A5 H .M. confirm Garrodprint Ltd. and RCA Ltd. as the pressing plants. With 150 copies currently for sale and only 766 collectors actively seeking it against 13790 who own one, this 1976 compilation sits in steady, modest demand.

What drives its value

Condition drives the entire market for this UK pressing. A Mint copy commands 42.84 USD, while NM drops to 38.33 USD, VG+ to 29.31 USD, and VG to 20.29 USD — a steep slide that reflects how collectors value original 1976 stock.

The lowest asking price of 1.7 USD signals heavily played or damaged copies circulating, but the median asking inventory of 150 units suggests consistent availability. As the original UK release predating the 2016 Parlophone reissues (COBLP 2016), this pressing retains collector preference for its orange-label variant and Garrodprint/RCA Ltd. provenance.

The want-to-have ratio of 766 to 13790 indicates a backlist title with stable, if not urgent, appeal — most collectors already own a copy.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number RS 1055 on the spine and label. The orange RCA Victor label with white company info and black text is the defining visual marker; the database notes several variants with orange centre labels, so inspect the label stock carefully.

Check the dead-wax runout: side A should read RS 1055-A-5E .M. PN-A A3AI and side B should read RS 1055-B-2E A5 H .M., confirming Garrodprint Ltd. or RCA Ltd. as the pressing plant.

The front cover carries a circular adhesive sticker listing the hit singles (Space Oddity, The Jean Genie, John I'm Only Dancing, Fame, Golden Years). Grade by surface noise, groove wear, and label condition; the price spread from 42.84 USD (Mint) to 20.29 USD (VG) means even minor play marks the difference between collectible and dealer stock.

Frequently asked

How do I tell the UK pressing (RS 1055) from the US pressing?

The UK pressing carries catalogue number RS 1055 on an orange RCA Victor label with white company info and black text. The US pressing uses catalogue number APL1-1732 on RCA Victor stock. Both are 1976 originals, but the UK pressing's matrix runout strings (RS 1055-A-5E .M. PN-A A3AI and RS 1055-B-2E A5 H .M.) confirm the UK plants Garrodprint Ltd. and RCA Ltd.

What is a VG+ copy of this UK pressing worth?

According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 29.31 USD. This reflects a record with light play and minimal surface noise but no skip or jump. The jump from VG (20.29 USD) to VG+ (29.31 USD) shows that even light wear noticeably impacts resale value on this title.

Is the 2016 reissue (COBLP 2016) a substitute for the 1976 original?

No. The 2016 Parlophone reissue is a different pressing entirely and does not command the same collector premium. This 1976 UK original on RCA (RS 1055) is the first pressing and carries the orange label variant that established the release's identity. Collectors seeking the original typically avoid the reissue.

Why is there such a big price drop from Mint (42.84 USD) to VG (20.29 USD)?

The 1976 pressing is now nearly 50 years old; most copies in circulation show play wear. Mint or NM stock is increasingly rare, so collectors and dealers prize it accordingly. A VG copy, while still playable and acceptable, reflects the wear expected of a well-used 1976 record and attracts a much lower bid.

How many copies are on the market right now?

There are 150 copies currently for sale across major platforms. The lowest asking price is 1.7 USD (likely a heavily damaged or incomplete copy), while the bulk of inventory sits in the VG to VG+ range. This steady supply means patient buyers can find a copy, but scarcity is not driving prices upward.
