About this record
Stamped in the dead wax, the runout TMLP . 6047 .
1 △△ carries a triangle mark that the other matrix variants in this release do not, so the first step is reading the etching rather than the cover. Demand runs ahead of supply here: 1426 collectors have this Italian Motown pressing and 141 want it, against 120 copies listed for sale.
Pressed in Italy under catalogue TMLP 6047 by Motown in 1983, the album is the European counterpart to the US issue 6059 ML.
What drives its value
The price guide sets Can't Slow Down between 15.34 USD in Mint and 10.50 USD in VG+, falling to 7.27 USD in VG, with a lowest current listing of 1.49 USD. These figures are estimates as of the guide date and reflect the grade of the vinyl and sleeve, not the sound.
The 120 copies for sale give buyers real room to negotiate, while the 1426 have and 141 want counts show steady collector interest in the Italian stamper. Its position among the other pressings matters: the two US Motown copies, both catalogued 6059 ML, come from a different plant and label run, so an Italian TMLP 6047 is the version to compare against, not the American release.
The community rating of 4.01 from 106 votes adds context but does not change the grade-driven price.
How to appraise this pressing
Begin with the label, which reads Motown, and the catalogue number TMLP 6047 printed on the front. Turn the record over and read the dead wax: the first side should show TMLP .
6047 . 1 △△ and the second TMLP .
6047 . 2, while the variants TMLP 6047/1 and TMLP 6047/2 indicate a different etching style and warrant closer comparison.
The release notes state Printed in the U.S.A. and Made in Italy, and the copy should include the printed inner sleeve with credits and lyrics, which is listed as a feature of this edition. The record has no barcode, so do not expect one to confirm the pressing.
Grade the vinyl by the sleeve and the disc together, using the price_guide grades from M to P as the reference scale.
