About this record
The Indianapolis pressing plant stamp in the dead wax—either ASL1-5307-A-15 or ASL1-5307-B-15—identifies this 1984 RCA Victor US release as the original issue tied to the CBS Television Special that aired December 2, 1984. Catalogue ASL1-5307 pairs Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton on a 9-track holiday album with a custom printed inner sleeve containing photos and lyrics.
The spread from Mint at 27.91 USD down to VG at 13.22 USD reflects how condition dominates pricing on this title, with 13 copies currently listed for sale and a lowest asking price of 8.9 USD.
What drives its value
Mint copies command 27.91 USD, while NM drops to 24.98 USD and VG+ settles at 19.10 USD according to the price guide. A VG graded copy trades at 13.22 USD, marking the threshold where collector demand shifts sharply.
The current market shows 13 copies for sale with a floor price of 8.9 USD, indicating steady but not frenzied supply. Community data reveals 1323 collectors own this pressing against 71 who want it, a ratio suggesting this is a common title rather than a chase pressing.
The 1984 RCA Victor US original on catalogue ASL1-5307 remains the sole documented pressing variant, so no competing reissue or regional version fragments the market. The 4.16 rating across 50 community votes confirms stable collector regard, though the modest want-to-have ratio of 71 to 1323 means this is a standard holiday reissue rather than a sought rarity.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the RCA Victor label and catalogue number ASL1-5307 on the spine and label. The dead-wax matrix will read either ASL1-5307-A-15 or ASL1-5307-B-15 on side A, and ASL1-5307-B-15 on side B for first pressings; later variants show ASL1-5307-A-16 I A1 J and ASL1-5307B-16 I A4 B.
All original 1984 copies bear the RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis stamp in the runout. The custom printed inner sleeve with photos and lyrics is original to this release and should accompany the jacket.
Barcode presence confirms post-1981 manufacture. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and the jacket for seam splits, ring wear, or foxing; the 27.91 USD Mint price applies only to unplayed stock with pristine jacket and sleeve.
