About this record
Virgin catalogue VINX 76 carries matrix runouts VINX 76 - 1 and VINX 76 - 2, so the deadwax itself confirms the Italian Virgin pressing of Fiona Franklyn's Busted Up On Love from 1984. The 12-inch runs at 45 RPM across 3 tracks, and this 12-inch, 45 RPM Italian pressing is the item collectors compare against every other copy.
With 91 want and 73 have in the community tally, demand for this release outpaces the copies in circulation.
What drives its value
The price_guide sets the Mint figure at 11.55 USD and the Very Good figure at 5.47 USD, so value moves sharply with grade: a copy in Mint sells from 11.55 USD down to 5.47 USD at Very Good. The guide's VG+ estimate is 7.90 USD, and a Good Plus copy is 3.04 USD.
The current market snapshot lists 12 copies for sale, with the lowest asking price at 3.95 USD, which sits below even the guide's Very Good figure. The community rating of 4.67 from 9 ratings and the 91 want against 73 have point to steady collector interest despite the modest guide values.
The Italian Virgin pressing, identified by catalogue VINX 76 and its two runout matrices, is the one defined in the release data; the other_pressings comparison is not provided in the input, so no further positioning claims are made.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by reading the deadwax of side one and side two. The runouts should read VINX 76 - 1 and VINX 76 - 2, matching the catalogue number VINX 76 on the label.
The release is listed on Virgin in Italy and the format is a 12-inch vinyl at 45 RPM with 3 tracks. The barcode field is absent from the data, so there is no barcode to check against.
Grade the sleeve and the disc separately, using the price_guide grades from Poor to Mint as the scale. A Mint copy is valued at 11.55 USD and a Near Mint at 10.34 USD, so the difference between those two grades is only 10 cents in the guide, which means a careful grader should inspect surfaces closely before assigning Mint.
Check that the matrix stamps match the catalogue exactly; a mismatch in the runout would indicate a different release.
