About this record
Kébec-Disc pressed this 1980 Fabienne Thibeault chanson album in-house at their Montreal facility, stamping the dead wax with catalogue KD-980 and variants marked SnB on the later runs. The runout matrix codes KD-980-A and KD-980-B appear without barcode, a hallmark of early Québécois independent pressings.
Demand is thin—only 5 collectors want it against 252 who own copies—yet 28 copies remain in circulation at asking prices as low as 1.31 USD.
What drives its value
This pressing trades on rarity within the Québécois folk-chanson market rather than broad collector demand. Price_guide values span from 13.11 USD (Mint) down to 0.69 USD (Poor), with a VG+ copy estimated at 8.97 USD and VG at 6.21 USD.
The want-to-have ratio of 5 to 252 reflects a niche regional release with limited appeal outside French-Canadian collectors. Kébec-Disc's in-house pressing and distribution through Diskade kept production modest; the presence of 28 copies for sale at a floor of 1.31 USD suggests oversupply relative to active demand.
The SnB variants in the runout indicate later pressings or recuts, which typically command lower premiums than original stampers. Condition grade is the primary driver of resale value here, as the spread from Mint to VG+ (13.11 to 8.97 USD) shows collectors will pay for preservation.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Kébec-Disc label imprint, catalogue number KD-980, and the absence of a barcode on the back cover. The runout matrix will read either KD-980-A or KD-980-B on side one and two respectively; later pressings are marked with SnB suffix (KD-980-A 3 SnB or KD-980-B SnB), indicating a recut or secondary stamper.
The release notes on the back cover credit two recording locations—Paris (CBE Paris) and Montréal (Studio Saint-Charles à Longueuil)—and list Gilles Talbot as réalisation. The 10-track album spans two sides with publishing credits ranging from Ed. du Grand Léo to Les Nouvelles Ed.
Eddie Barclay. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches; a Mint copy will show no play wear, while VG+ allows light surface marks that do not affect playback.
Check the sleeve for foxing, creasing, or water damage, as Québécois pressings from this era often show environmental stress.

Frequently asked
What is the runout matrix on this pressing, and does it matter?
The dead wax will read KD-980-A (side one) and KD-980-B (side two) on original pressings, or KD-980-A 3 SnB and KD-980-B SnB on later variants. The SnB suffix indicates a secondary stamper or recut, which typically signals a later pressing run. Original matrix stamps without SnB are marginally scarcer, though both versions were pressed at Kébec-Disc's Montreal facility.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price_guide, a VG+ graded copy is estimated at 8.97 USD. This represents a record with light surface marks and minimal play wear but no skips or audible defects. The estimate reflects market data as of the guide's last update and may vary based on actual sales.
Why is demand so low if this is a Canadian pressing?
Only 5 collectors want this album against 252 who own it, reflecting its narrow appeal within Québécois chanson circles and limited crossover to English-language or international markets. Fabienne Thibeault's catalog is regionally specific, and Kébec-Disc releases rarely circulate outside French Canada. The 1980 release date also places it outside the vinyl revival's primary focus on earlier or more commercially prominent artists.
What is the lowest price I should expect to see?
The lowest_price recorded is 1.31 USD, with 28 copies currently listed for sale. This floor price reflects heavily played or damaged copies; a Poor-graded (P) record is estimated at 0.69 USD by price_guide, so the 1.31 USD floor suggests some listings are below typical Poor grade or are priced aggressively to move inventory.
Is there a barcode on this pressing?
No. This pressing has no barcode, which is typical of early 1980s Québécois independent releases. The absence of a barcode is a useful identifier when confirming authenticity and pressing era, as later reissues or international editions may include one.
