About this record
This 2015 remaster was pressed at GZ Media, the Czech plant whose dead-wax stamps 135336E1/A and 135336E2/A distinguish it from the 1997 Epic CD issue and earlier vinyl editions. Disques Dreyfus and BMG issued it across Europe with the original picture inner sleeve intact, marking a deliberate archival reissue rather than a casual repress.
The catalogue number 88843024701 ties it to the Sony Music distribution chain.
What drives its value
The 2015 GZ Media pressing sits in the middle tier of reissue demand. At Mint it fetches 36.96 USD, stepping down to 33.07 in Near Mint, 25.29 in VG+, and 17.51 in VG condition.
Current market supply is substantial: 53 copies are listed for sale, with a floor price of 8.6 USD, indicating worn stock moves at a steep discount. Community ownership is broad—1122 collectors hold it—against 120 who want one, a ratio that reflects the reissue's accessibility.
The 1997 Epic CD pressing is the only other listed variant, so vinyl collectors face no competing pressings from that era, making condition and GZ Media's pressing quality the sole variables in valuation.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 88843024701 on the spine and back cover, paired with the GZ Media plant credit (often stamped in the dead wax or printed on the label). The runout matrix will read either 135336E1/A or 135336E2/A depending on which side—these are the definitive markers of this 2015 reissue.
The barcode is present. Grade by the inner sleeve condition first: the original picture sleeve should retain its gloss and the copyright block (℗ 1981 Disques Dreyfus - BMG © 2015 Disques Dreyfus - BMG) printed inside.
Inspect the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches; GZ pressings from this era are prone to light surface noise even when visually clean. Play both sides at low volume to detect any ticking or dropout that would lower it from NM to VG+ or below.

Frequently asked
What is this pressing worth in Very Good+ condition?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 25.29 USD according to the price guide. This reflects minor surface marks visible under bright light and possible light surface noise on quiet passages, but no skips or groove wear. The estimate is current as of the guide's last update.
How does the 2015 reissue compare to the 1997 Epic CD?
The 1997 release was a compact disc on Epic Records. This 2015 pressing is a vinyl LP remaster issued by Disques Dreyfus and BMG, pressed at GZ Media in the Czech Republic. They are separate formats and editions; the vinyl offers the original picture inner sleeve and analog playback, while the CD is digital.
Why is there such a wide price range from Mint to Poor?
The spread runs from 36.96 USD (Mint) down to 1.95 USD (Poor), a reflection of how severely wear affects collectibility on reissues. Copies in heavy rotation or with damaged sleeves drop sharply in value because 1122 collectors own it—supply is plentiful, so only pristine or near-pristine examples command premium prices.
Is the remastering information documented on the sleeve?
No. The release notes indicate that remastering credits are not available, so the mastering engineer and studio are not credited on the inner sleeve or back cover. Only the original 1981 copyright and 2015 reissue copyright appear.
How many copies are currently on the market?
53 copies are listed for sale across platforms, with the lowest asking price at 8.6 USD. This high inventory relative to the 120 collectors actively seeking it suggests buyers can negotiate or wait for condition upgrades before committing.
