About this record
Stamped in the dead wax, the runouts 2003856-A1-C, 2003856-A2-C, 2003856-B1-C and 2003856-B2-C mark this as a Europe-made EMI pressing, catalogue 1C K062 20 0385 6. The 12-inch maxi-single runs at 45 RPM and carries three tracks, led by The Number Of The Beast and a live recording from Rockpop in Concert.
Demand is steady: 2753 community members have it and 312 want it.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this pressing at 55.18 USD in Mint, 49.37 in Near Mint, 37.75 in VG+, and 26.14 in VG. Because the spread runs from Mint down to Very Good, grading drives most of the value, so a worn copy sells well below a clean one.
The lowest current listing is 24.91 USD, with 14 copies for sale, which shows the market price sits well below the guide's top grades. The 2753 owners against 312 wanters point to a record that is widely held but still sought after.
Its position among the other pressings matters because this is the Europe-made EMI original, and the guide values it from its own pressing rather than from any reissue.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by checking the catalogue number 1C K062 20 0385 6 and the four stamped runouts, which read 2003856-A1-C, 2003856-A2-C, 2003856-B1-C and 2003856-B2-C. The labels should say Made in EEC and carry the German side indicators Seite 1 and Seite 2.
The back cover credits the original recording as made by EMI Records Ltd in 1984, and the front cover reads Incl. The Number Of The Beast and Live from Rockpop in Concert.
The record has no barcode, so absence of one is consistent with this issue. Grade the disc against the four runouts and the labels, then match the grade to the Mint, Near Mint, VG+ or VG figures above.
