About this record
The dead-wax matrix on this 1977 RCA Victor pressing reads AFL1-2428-A-1S Masterfonics GAM I A1X on the A-side and AFL1-2428-B-2S Masterfonics GAM I A3X on the B-side, identifying it as a blue translucent Indianapolis pressing. The Masterfonics stamp on both sides distinguishes this variant from copies marked only on the A-side (catalogue 36696802) or B-side (36696553).
RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis manufactured this stereo LP under catalogue AFL1-2428, which came originally with shrink stickers.
What drives its value
Moody Blue trades on condition spread: a Mint copy reaches 20.16 USD, while NM sits at 18.03 USD, VG+ at 13.79 USD, and VG at 9.55 USD. The lowest asking price across 306 active listings is 1.7 USD, reflecting heavy supply relative to collector demand.
Community data shows 12126 users own this pressing against 391 who want it, a ratio indicating saturation in the secondary market. The 1977 US pressing on RCA Victor catalogue AFL1-2428 is the primary release; no competing pressings from other countries or labels fragment the market.
Condition therefore drives all value: a VG+ copy commands 13.79 USD versus 9.55 USD for VG, a meaningful gap for a record this common.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number AFL1-2428 on the front cover and label. Examine the dead-wax runout on both sides: the A-side must read AFL1-2428-A-1S Masterfonics GAM I A1X and the B-side AFL1-2428-B-2S Masterfonics GAM I A3X.
The label credit should state RCA Records and RCA Victor. The blue translucent vinyl itself is the visual marker; opaque black pressings are different variants.
Grade by surface condition: check for hairline scratches under light, which drop a Mint (20.16 USD) copy to NM (18.03 USD) or lower. Play-test to confirm no skips or groove damage.
The original shrink sticker, if present, adds provenance but does not affect the sonic or structural grade. Matrix stamps are etched except for A1 and I, which are stamped.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number for this pressing?
AFL1-2428, printed on the spine and label. The dead-wax matrix repeats this: AFL1-2428-A-1S on side A and AFL1-2428-B-2S on side B.
How do I tell this blue translucent Indianapolis version from other Moody Blue pressings?
Look for Masterfonics stamped in the dead wax on both the A-side (AFL1-2428-A-1S Masterfonics GAM I A1X) and B-side (AFL1-2428-B-2S Masterfonics GAM I A3X). Copies with Masterfonics only on the A-side carry catalogue 36696802; B-side only is 36696553. The vinyl itself is blue translucent, not black.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 13.79 USD. This estimate reflects market data as of the guide's publication date and assumes accurate grading; actual sales vary based on buyer and seller negotiation.
Why are there 306 copies for sale but the lowest price is only 1.7 USD?
Supply far exceeds demand: 12126 collectors own this record against only 391 who want it. The 1977 US pressing on RCA Victor is the standard release, not rare. Bulk inventory and competition among sellers drive the floor price down to 1.7 USD, though Mint copies still command 20.16 USD.
Where was this record pressed?
RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis manufactured this stereo LP. The Masterfonics credit in the dead wax (GAM I A1X and GAM I A3X) references the mastering facility, not the pressing plant.
