About this record
The UK pressing of Pelican West carries dual pressing-plant stamps in its dead wax — both PolyGram Record Operations and PRS Ltd. — marking it as a Townhouse-cut original from 1982. Demand sits at 366 collectors wanting it against 4923 who own one, a ratio that keeps values modest despite the new-wave pedigree.
The price spread tells the real story: a Mint copy commands 12.20 USD, but the market floor sits at 1.50 USD, with 136 copies currently for sale.
What drives its value
Pelican West's value hinges entirely on condition grade. A Mint pressing reaches 12.20 USD, stepping down to 10.92 USD in Near Mint, then 8.35 USD at VG+.
The gap widens below that: VG drops to 5.78 USD, and a Good+ copy falls to 3.21 USD. At 1.50 USD, the lowest-priced copy reflects heavy wear or damage.
With 136 copies in circulation on the secondhand market, supply is steady; the want-to-have ratio of 366 to 4923 suggests this is a common UK pressing rather than a hunt. As a 1982 original on Arista (catalogue HCC 100), it holds modest collector interest — neither scarce nor worthless, but condition-sensitive.
Buyers chasing Near Mint or better will pay a premium; those seeking a playable copy can find one cheaply.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Arista catalogue number HCC 100 on the label and spine. The dead wax reveals the pressing plants: look for HCC 100A and HCC 100B in the runouts, followed by the etched Townhouse identifiers — 'REGIMENTAL' on side A and 'I DIDN'T PLAY' on side B.
The stamped '2' above the '1' on side B is a known variant. Both PolyGram Record Operations and PRS Ltd. may appear in the runout.
The UK pressing has no barcode. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and the label for foxing or ring wear; the 12-track stereo LP should play without skips.
Copies in VG+ condition show minimal surface noise and light sleeve wear; VG copies exhibit audible surface noise but remain musically playable.

Frequently asked
What is this pressing worth in good condition?
A VG+ copy — light surface noise, minimal sleeve wear — carries a guide value of 8.35 USD. This represents the sweet spot for most used copies in circulation. Prices below that reflect heavier play or damage; above it, only Near Mint and Mint grades command premiums.
How much more is a Mint copy than a VG one?
A Mint pressing is valued at 12.20 USD against a VG at 5.78 USD. The gap reflects the rarity of unplayed originals from 1982; most copies show at least light play. Buyers paying for Mint expect sealed condition or storage-kept vinyl.
What do the etched runout strings mean?
The words 'REGIMENTAL' and 'I DIDN'T PLAY' etched into the dead wax on sides A and B respectively are hand-cut identifiers from the Townhouse mastering facility. They confirm this is an original 1982 pressing rather than a later reissue, and help distinguish it from other Arista pressings of the same title.
Is this a rare pressing?
No. With 4923 collectors reporting ownership and 136 copies actively for sale, this is a common UK original. The want-to-have ratio of 366 to 4923 shows steady but not urgent demand. Rarity is not driving its value; condition is.
Why does the cheapest copy sell for so much less than VG grade?
The lowest-priced copy at 1.50 USD likely shows heavy wear, warping, or label damage — grading as Good or Fair rather than VG. At that price, it is a utility buy for DJs or collectors unconcerned with sound quality. The jump from 1.50 USD to 5.78 USD (VG) reflects the difference between a damaged record and a playable one.
