About this record

The runout matrix on this 1982 US single—stamped B-5195 S45-X600396 at Capitol Records' Winchester plant—identifies it as the second American 45 release of 'Hungry Like The Wolf', paired with a rare Colin Thurston remix misattributed to David Kershenbaum. Demand among collectors sits at 178 want against 829 in circulation, making it a moderately scarce synth-pop artifact from the Rio era.

What drives its value

This pressing commands attention because it couples two distinct mixes: the US Album Mix of the title track from Rio's second edition, and the Night Version remix from the Carnival Mini-LP—a pairing found nowhere else on vinyl. The price_guide estimates range from VG to Mint, with the market snapshot showing limited copies for sale at any given moment.

The 178 want-to-829-have ratio suggests steady but not frenzied collector interest; the UK EMI pressing (EMI 5295) and Portuguese Valentim De Carvalho variant (11C 008-64794) offer alternatives, but this Harvest pressing remains the original US release path. Condition variance matters here: the specific dead-wax variants (S45-X600396-E F-4, S45-X600396-D F-3, S45-X600396-D F-4) all stem from the same Capitol mastering, so pressing variation does not drive value—wear and surface condition do.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm this pressing by the Harvest label, catalogue B-5195, and the Capitol Records Winchester plant credit in the dead wax. The runout will read one of three variants: B-5195 S45-X600396-E F-4, B-5195 S45-X600396-D F-3, or B-5195 S45-X600396-D F-4, each stamped [MASTERED BY CAPITOL] Wally.

All three originate from the same master lacquer (SX600396) and carry identical audio. The 7-inch 45 RPM single contains two tracks: side A, the US Album Mix by David Kershenbaum; side B, the Night Version remix by Colin Thurston (mislabeled in the credits).

No barcode appears on this release. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches, checking the label for ring wear and water damage, and playing both sides to assess surface noise and tracking stability.

The pressing plant credit and Wally signature in the runout are standard to all copies and do not indicate rarity.

Frequently asked

What is the difference between this Harvest B-5195 and the UK EMI 5295 pressing?

The Harvest pressing (US, 1982) was manufactured at Capitol Records' Winchester plant and features the US Album Mix and Night Version remix. The UK EMI 5295 (1982) was pressed in the United Kingdom under EMI's label and likely carries different mixes or sequencing tailored to the British market. The Harvest is the original US release path; the EMI is a region-specific variant.

Why does the B-side credit David Kershenbaum when it is actually a Colin Thurston remix?

The release notes confirm that track B is the Night Version remix by Colin Thurston but was 'errantly credited to David Kershenbaum' on the label. This printing error is endemic to all copies of this pressing and does not indicate a rare variant—it is a documented manufacturing mistake from 1982.

Are all three runout variants (F-4, F-3, F-4) worth the same?

Yes. The three dead-wax stamps (S45-X600396-E F-4, S45-X600396-D F-3, S45-X600396-D F-4) all derive from the same master lacquer and Capitol mastering. The F-suffix denotes the plating generation or pressing sequence, not audio content or rarity. Value is determined by condition, not by which variant you hold.

What makes this the '2nd US single release'?

Duran Duran released Hungry Like The Wolf as a single in the US market twice. This 1982 Harvest pressing is the second US single release, issued to promote the Rio album re-release and the Carnival Mini-LP. The pairing of the US Album Mix and Night Version remix is unique to this second release and does not appear on the first US single or other pressings.

How many copies are typically on the market?

The community data shows 829 collectors have this pressing and 178 want it, indicating a moderate supply relative to demand. The exact number currently for sale varies by marketplace, but the want-to-have ratio suggests copies surface regularly without commanding premium scarcity premiums. Condition and the specific remix pairing are the primary value drivers.
