About this record
Stamped in the dead wax as DM 206085 A- 2/85S Ⅰ and DM 206085 B- 2/85S Ⅰ, this 1985 European pressing of Indochine's third album bears the Sonopress plant mark—a detail that separates it from other editions. The price spread from Mint at 36.93 USD down to VG at 17.49 USD reflects how sensitive collectors are to condition on this synth-pop New Wave title.
What drives its value
The Didier Guinochet Productions pressing (catalogue 206 085) commands a steep condition premium: a Mint copy reaches 36.93 USD, while NM drops to 33.05 USD and VG+ settles at 25.27 USD. At VG the value halves to 17.49 USD, signaling that wear erodes collector demand sharply.
Currently 53 copies are listed for sale, with the lowest asking 8.7 USD—a floor price typical of played-out stock. Community ownership stands at 4481 collectors against 311 want entries, a ratio that reflects steady but not urgent demand.
The Sonopress plant attribution and the 2/85S Ⅰ matrix dating confirm this as the original 1985 European release, not a later reissue, which anchors its value among the discography.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the pressing by checking the spine and inner sleeve for catalogue 206 085 (or 206085 on the back cover). The dead-wax runout on Side A should read 206 085 A or DM 206085 A- 2/85S Ⅰ; Side B should show 206 085 B or DM 206085 B- 2/85S Ⅰ.
Both sides confirm Sonopress as the plant. The label on Side B may vary—some copies carry a label from a different release instead of the correct Éditions Clémence Melody label, a known pressing quirk.
The album includes a picture lyric inner sleeve and a barcode. Grading hinges on vinyl surface condition and cover wear: Mint assumes no play and pristine cover; NM allows minimal signs; VG+ shows light surface marks but plays cleanly; VG exhibits visible groove wear and light scratches.
The 9-track album was recorded in Paris and London in January and February 1985.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number for this pressing?
The catalogue number is 206 085 (also printed as 206085 on the back cover). This appears on the spine and inner sleeve and confirms the Didier Guinochet Productions release for the European market in 1985.
How do I identify the Sonopress pressing plant?
Check the dead-wax runout on both sides of the vinyl. The matrix reads 206 085 A and 206 085 B on Side A and Side B respectively, or the longer form DM 206085 A- 2/85S Ⅰ and DM 206085 B- 2/85S Ⅰ. The DM prefix and the 2/85S Ⅰ code indicate Sonopress and February 1985 pressing.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 25.27 USD. This represents the midpoint between NM at 33.05 USD and VG at 17.49 USD, and reflects light surface marks that do not affect playback. Note that this is an estimate and actual market prices vary.
Why is there such a big drop in value from NM to VG?
The price falls from 33.05 USD (NM) to 17.49 USD (VG)—a shift driven by visible groove wear and scratches that collectors of synth-pop and New Wave records actively avoid. Mint and NM copies command premiums because the album's electronic production and vocal clarity suffer noticeably under surface noise.
Is there a known label variation on this pressing?
Yes. Some copies have a Side B label from a different record instead of the correct Éditions Clémence Melody label for this release. This is a documented pressing quirk and does not affect the value significantly, but it is worth noting when inspecting or cataloging the record.
