About this record
Pressed at MCA's Gloversville plant for the US market in 1977, this self-titled Kiki Dee album carries matrix codes MCA1187 and MCA1188 with W2 suffixes, marking a later pressing run. With 89 copies currently for sale and a community ratio of 409 owners against 34 active want-list entries, this is a stable catalog title rather than a hunt—but condition determines almost everything in its pricing.
What drives its value
The price spread from Mint down to Poor tells the real story: Mint copies command 4.24 USD, while a Near Mint sits at 3.79 USD, and VG+ drops to 2.90 USD. By Very Good, the value halves to 2.01 USD.
The lowest asking price across all 89 active listings is 1 USD, indicating heavy stock and minimal scarcity. This 1977 US pressing on Rocket/MCA is not a sought reissue or rare plant variant; it is a common catalog album whose value depends almost entirely on physical condition.
The community data—409 collectors own it against only 34 seeking one—confirms it as a standard acquisition rather than a prize. Grading accuracy is therefore the only lever a seller has to justify pricing above the floor.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number PIG-2257 on the front cover and label. The dead-wax runout will read either MCA1187 or MCA1188, followed by W2 on later pressings from the Gloversville plant.
No barcode appears on this release. The label should credit both The Rocket Record Company and MCA Records.
To grade accurately: Mint means unplayed, still sealed or in pristine shrink with no surface marks; Near Mint allows minimal handling but no audible wear; VG+ shows light surface dust and faint scratches inaudible during play; VG exhibits visible dust, light scratches, and possible faint background noise; below VG, surface noise becomes intrusive. The 11-track configuration and LP format are standard across all known copies of this title.

Frequently asked
What is the market value of a VG+ copy?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 2.90 USD. This represents the midpoint between the Near Mint estimate of 3.79 USD and the Very Good estimate of 2.01 USD, and reflects the typical asking price for a lightly played example with minimal surface wear.
How do I identify the Gloversville pressing?
Check the dead-wax runout on the vinyl itself. Pressings from the MCA Pressing Plant in Gloversville carry the suffix W2 after the matrix number (e.g., MCA 1187 W2 or MCA 1188 W2). This distinguishes them from earlier or alternative plant runs, though all US 1977 copies of this album are relatively common.
Why is there such a wide gap between Mint and VG+ prices?
Mint copies at 4.24 USD versus VG+ at 2.90 USD reflect collector preference for unplayed condition on catalog titles. Because 89 copies are currently for sale and only 34 collectors actively want one, buyers can afford to be selective. A played copy loses appeal quickly when fresh stock is abundant.
Is this a rare pressing?
No. With 409 community members already owning a copy and 89 listings active at any time, this 1977 US pressing is common. It was pressed in volume for the domestic market and has not become scarce. Rarity is not a value driver here; condition and accurate grading are.
What does the W2 suffix in the runout mean?
The W2 suffix indicates a later pressing stage, likely from a second or subsequent manufacturing run at the MCA Gloversville facility. It does not denote a reissue or a different label variant, only a later batch of the same 1977 US release. All W2 copies share the same catalogue number PIG-2257 and are functionally equivalent to earlier pressings.
