About this record
The dead-wax etch 'P' marks this 1986 Chrysalis pressing as a first pressing from Columbia Records' Pitman plant, distinguishing it from later reissues by the matrix codes OV 41534 AS and OV 41534 BS. Mastered at Masterdisk in New York, the album arrived with a custom lyric and credit inner sleeve, and select copies carried a Light Signatures Inc. certificate of authenticity inserted in the original shrink wrap.
What drives its value
This US pressing commands a steep condition-dependent spread: Mint copies fetch 13.11 USD, while NM drops to 11.73 USD, VG+ to 8.97 USD, and VG to 6.21 USD. The lowest asking price across 41 active listings sits at 3.72 USD, a floor set by heavily played copies.
Community demand is modest—161 collectors want it against 7118 who own one—a ratio that reflects the album's commercial success and wide original distribution. As the sole US Chrysalis pressing documented here, all value hinges on condition rather than pressing rarity; the original 1986 plant pressing commands no premium over later variants from the same label.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Chrysalis catalogue number OV 41534 on the spine and label. Examine the dead-wax runout on both sides: Side A should read 'OV 41534 AS' and Side B 'OV 41534 BS', followed by the mastering codes 'P (P1) OV-42534-A-3 MASTERDISK' and 'OV-41534-B-3 MASTERDISK D'.
The barcode is present on the back cover. Grading hinges on vinyl surface condition and jacket state: Mint assumes no visible wear to either; NM allows only light handling marks invisible under normal light; VG+ permits light surface noise and minor sleeve creasing; VG accepts moderate groove wear and visible sleeve handling.
The inner sleeve—a custom lyric and credit insert—should be intact and unfaded. Some copies retain the original Light Signatures Inc. certificate in the shrink, a detail that does not affect grade but confirms original retail provenance.

Frequently asked
What is this pressing worth in VG+ condition?
A VG+ copy is valued at 8.97 USD according to the price guide. This grade allows light surface noise and minor jacket creasing but no deep scratches or seam splits. The spread between VG+ (8.97 USD) and the next step down, VG (6.21 USD), reflects how quickly playing wear erodes value on this title.
How many copies are currently for sale?
41 copies are listed across the market at the time of this guide. The lowest asking price among them is 3.72 USD, typically for heavily played or poor-condition examples. This high inventory relative to want (161 collectors seeking it) means buyers have negotiating room.
Is this the original 1986 pressing or a reissue?
This is the original 1986 US pressing on Chrysalis, pressed at Columbia Records' Pitman plant. The 'P' etch in the dead wax and the Masterdisk mastering codes confirm first-pressing status. No later reissues are documented in the pressing history, making all copies from this single original manufacturing run.
What does the Light Signatures Inc. certificate mean?
Some copies arrived with a certificate of authenticity or survey card inserted in the original shrink wrap by Light Signatures Inc., a third-party authentication service. Its presence does not affect the grade or value of the record itself but confirms the copy retained its factory shrink and original retail packaging—a detail collectors note for provenance.
Why is there such a big price gap between Mint and VG condition?
Mint (13.11 USD) versus VG (6.21 USD) reflects the rarity of unplayed copies. As a 1986 pop-rock album with 7118 owners in the community, most copies show playing wear. Truly unplayed examples command a premium because they are statistically uncommon; heavily played copies flood the market and trade near the lowest-price floor of 3.72 USD.
