About this record
Labels are switched on this Taiwanese pressing: Side A is printed where Side B belongs, and the reverse, so the label text does not match the side you play. Issued by 雅音 under catalogue AR-5255, it is an unofficial release that reportedly was destroyed by the Taiwan government over copyright violations.
Eight tracks sit on a single LP, with a double-sided printed 10x10 lyric insert in the sleeve.
What drives its value
Price guide figures for this pressing run from 70.77 USD at P up to 1344.62 USD at M, with 1203.08 USD at NM, 920 USD at VG+ and 636.92 USD at VG. Those are estimates from the guide, not completed sales, and they are the main signal of what a copy is worth.
The market snapshot shows no current listings, since num_for_sale is 0 and lowest_price is absent, so there is no live asking price to anchor a sale. Demand is measurable: 179 collectors want the release against 33 who have it, a ratio that pushes buyers toward the top grades.
The release sits apart from the other pressings listed, which include the 1988 EMI releases in Europe (CDP 7 90258 2) and Venezuela (EMI-25154 and 25154) and the 2014 Parlophone reissue in Europe (2564624849). Those are official editions, so this Taiwanese unofficial pressing is the outlier and its value rests on rarity and condition rather than on a legitimate catalogue.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the catalogue number AR-5255 and the 雅音 label text on the vinyl, and check that the labels are switched so Side A is printed where Side B should be. Compare the sleeve against the notes: it should carry the double-sided printed 10x10 lyric insert.
Check whether the record has the barcode the listing describes, since has_barcode is true. No matrix or runout string is held in the facts for this copy, so verify the dead wax against your own reference rather than assuming a code.
Grade the disc in the standard M, NM, VG+, VG, G+, G, F and P scale and match the grade to the price guide tier. Because the release is an unofficial Taiwanese issue, check the sleeve and disc together, as a copy with a missing insert or a mismatched sleeve will fall below the guide value for its grade.
