About this record
K-Tel's 1981 UK pressing ONE 1123 pairs the London Symphony Orchestra and Royal Choral Society on a 10-track fusion of rock and classical arrangements—a hybrid that sits awkwardly between two collector bases. Demand is modest: 21 want it against 950 who own one, and 42 copies currently circulate at the lowest asking price of 0.75 USD, signalling a deep-discount bin staple rather than a sought reissue.
What drives its value
This K-Tel catalogue number ONE 1123 trades on condition far more than rarity. A Mint copy reaches 6.95 USD, while a VG+ drops to 4.75 USD and VG settles at 3.29 USD—a steep slide that reflects the label's mass-market pressing quality and the genre's niche appeal.
The 42 copies for sale at 0.75 USD floor price underscore weak collector demand: only 21 want-list entries against 950 ownership records suggest this is a curiosity rather than an investment. The classical-rock crossover positioning alienates both camps; rock collectors dismiss the orchestral arrangement, while classical buyers avoid K-Tel's commercial branding.
UK origin and 1981 dating place it in the label's peak budget-compilation era, when such hybrids were common remainders.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the K-Tel label imprint and catalogue number ONE 1123 on the front cover and spine. The LP is a 10-track album on vinyl; no barcode appears on this UK release.
The community rating of 3.57 USD (from 28 user ratings) reflects mixed reception—neither praised nor condemned. To grade accurately, examine the sleeve for K-Tel's typical laminate wear and the vinyl for surface noise; K-Tel pressings of this era often show light groove wear even when nominally VG+.
Play-test the orchestral arrangements for tracking distortion, which surfaces readily on budget pressings. The absence of a barcode and the ONE 1123 catalogue number are your primary identifiers; cross-reference against the label's 1981 UK catalogue to rule out later reissues or regional variants.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of ONE 1123 worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 4.75 USD. This estimate reflects the guide's snapshot; actual sales may vary depending on sleeve condition and whether the original inner sleeve is present.
How does the Mint price compare to VG?
A Mint copy is priced at 6.95 USD versus 3.29 USD for VG—a significant spread driven by K-Tel's inconsistent pressing quality and the label's reputation for surface noise even on nominally unplayed stock.
Why are 42 copies listed at only 0.75 USD?
The lowest asking price of 0.75 USD reflects bulk-lot liquidation and weak collector interest. With only 21 want-list entries against 950 ownership records, this is a common remainder that dealers price aggressively to clear inventory.
Is this a first pressing or a reissue?
The 1981 UK K-Tel release ONE 1123 is a budget compilation pressing, not a reissue of an earlier album. K-Tel created this orchestral-rock hybrid specifically for the mass market; no original artist version precedes it.
What does the 3.57 rating mean?
The community rating of 3.57 USD (based on 28 user ratings) indicates lukewarm reception—neither a cult favorite nor widely dismissed. The classical-rock fusion alienates both rock and classical purists, limiting enthusiast appeal.
