About this record
The runout matrix XBLY 90 012-1 and XBLY 90 012-2 stamped in the dead wax identify this 1974 French pressing as a C.I.D.I.S. Louviers plant job, distinguishable from later reissues by the Sterling Sound cutting credit and Bob Ludwig's RL initials on the A-side matrix.
Demand sits at 49 want against 1417 in the community collection, signaling a steady catalog title rather than a chase pressing.
What drives its value
This Barclay catalogue 90.012 pressing commands 22.60 USD in Mint condition, dropping to 20.22 in Near Mint, 15.47 in VG+, and 10.71 in VG—a steep slide that reflects how French pressings of this era respond to surface wear. With 71 copies currently for sale and a floor price of 1.15 USD, the market is liquid but soft; most transactions cluster in the VG+ to VG range.
The 1974 Nashville recording session (Studio Cinderella, Madison, Tennessee; mixing at Woodland, Nashville) and gatefold packaging anchor the album's modest appeal among country-rock collectors. The C.I.D.I.S. pressing plant attribution and Sterling Sound mastering are documented in the matrix and release notes, confirming authenticity for buyers seeking the original French issue over later reissues.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Barclay label and catalogue number 90.012 (or XBLY 90 012 on the spine). Examine the dead wax on both sides: Side A should read XBLY 90 012-1 BAR 90 012 A CIDIS STERLING RL (the RL suffix marks Bob Ludwig's cut at Sterling Sound), and Side B should show XBLY 90 012-2 BAR 90 012 2 CIDIS.
The gatefold cover must state Printed in France - Imp. Glory - 92604 Asnières and credit the Nashville recording and mixing locations.
The absence of a barcode confirms the 1974 vintage; later Barclay reissues added UPC codes. Grade by vinyl surface cleanliness and cover condition separately—the gatefold's paper stock and spine are prone to splitting and discoloration on copies that have circulated.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this 1974 C.I.D.I.S. pressing from a later Barclay reissue?
Check the dead wax on both sides. This pressing reads XBLY 90 012-1 and XBLY 90 012-2 with the plant code CIDIS and Sterling Sound credit. Later reissues typically omit the Sterling Sound mastering note and may carry different matrix codes. The absence of a barcode on the back cover is also a 1974 marker.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is estimated at 15.47 USD. This represents a record with light surface noise and minimal visible wear, typical of a played but well-cared-for copy. The estimate reflects market data as of the guide's last update.
Why does condition matter so much on this pressing?
The price spread from Mint (22.60 USD) to VG (10.71 USD) shows that French pressings from this era are sensitive to groove wear and surface contamination. Vinyl formulation and pressing quality at C.I.D.I.S. Louviers were consistent but not exceptional, so even light play audibly degrades the high end. Buyers in the 49-strong want list are mostly seeking clean copies.
What does the RL in the matrix mean?
RL stands for Bob Ludwig, the cutting engineer at Sterling Sound who mastered this album. Ludwig's initials appear on the A-side matrix (BAR 90 012 A CIDIS STERLING RL) and confirm that Sterling Sound, not an in-house Barclay facility, cut the lacquers. This detail is documented in the release notes and is a mark of professional mastering for a 1974 French rock release.
Is this the original Nashville recording or a reissue?
This is the original 1974 French release of the Nashville recording. The gatefold cover credits the recording session at Studio Cinderella in Madison, Tennessee, and mixing at Woodland in Nashville. The 1974 copyright and C.I.D.I.S. pressing plant confirm this is the first commercial pressing, not a later reissue.
