About this record
The dead-wax matrix on this 1989 Fresh Records 12-inch single stamps either FRE-80138-X MASTERDISK or FRE-80138-Y depending on which side of the pressing plant's run you land on—a detail that separates original US copies from later reissues. Demand remains steady: 158 collectors want it against 406 who own one, and roughly 30 copies circulate on the market at any given time, with asking prices ranging from a floor of 2.55 up to 30.44 for a Mint example.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire spread on this EPMD single. A Mint copy commands 30.44, while NM drops to 27.24, VG+ settles at 20.83, and a played VG copy sits at 14.42—a steep cliff between Mint and near-Mint that reflects how few copies have survived in unplayed state.
The want-to-have ratio of 158 to 406 signals moderate collector interest relative to supply; the 30 copies currently listed suggest steady availability, though the lowest asking price of 2.55 indicates that heavily played or damaged stock still moves. As an original 1989 US pressing on Fresh Records, this single holds its value better than later reissues, particularly in VG+ condition and above where the gap widens.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the catalogue number FRE-80138 on the label and spine. The matrix runout—either FRE-80138-X MASTERDISK or FRE-80138-Y stamped into the dead wax—confirms a first pressing rather than a reissue.
The barcode is present on original copies. Grade by examining both sides: a Mint copy shows no visible wear, plays silently, and retains its original sheen; NM allows only the faintest signs of handling.
VG+ copies display light surface marks audible only under close listening, while VG examples show clear play wear and light scratching. The three-track format (the single includes the A-side and B-side plus one additional cut) is consistent across all original pressings.
Any pressing plant mark or variant matrix code should be noted, as subtle variations in the runout string can indicate different manufacturing runs.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of this EPMD single worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 20.83 USD. This represents the sweet spot for collectors seeking a playable copy with minimal surface noise but not the premium of near-mint condition. Actual asking prices vary; the current market shows 30 copies available, with the lowest at 2.55, though that reflects heavily damaged stock.
How much more is a Mint copy worth than a VG example?
A Mint copy is priced at 30.44 USD in the guide, while a VG copy is 14.42 USD. The jump reflects the rarity of unplayed copies and the collector preference for original condition on 1989 Fresh Records pressings. Most copies on the secondary market fall into the VG to VG+ range.
How do I confirm this is an original 1989 pressing and not a reissue?
Check the matrix runout stamped in the dead wax on both sides of the record. Original pressings show either FRE-80138-X MASTERDISK or FRE-80138-Y. The catalogue number FRE-80138 should appear on the label. Reissues typically carry different matrix codes or plant identifiers. The barcode is present on originals.
Why does demand (158 want) exceed the number of copies available for sale (30)?
The 158 collectors who want this record against 406 who own one suggests moderate but genuine interest. The 30 copies currently listed for sale represent a snapshot; copies held in personal collections are not listed. This ratio indicates the single is not rare, but clean VG+ and Mint examples are less common than worn copies, which explains why prices escalate sharply above VG condition.
What does the MASTERDISK mark in the matrix mean?
The FRE-80138-X MASTERDISK runout indicates the lacquer master or plating source used at the pressing plant. This mark, stamped into the dead wax, helps collectors and sellers distinguish between different production runs of the same catalogue number. Both MASTERDISK and non-MASTERDISK variants (FRE-80138-Y) are original 1989 pressings.
