About this record
Loretta Lynn's Rated "X" 45 on Decca catalogue 33039 emerged from the MCA Pressing Plant in Pinckneyville, bearing the matrix stamps 7-123,633 and 7-124,070 W2 DWJ 2 in the dead wax. Pressed in 1972 for the US market, this 7-inch single carries the controversial title track alongside a B-side, marking a rare Decca 45 that trades actively: 31 copies are listed for sale, yet only 0.65 dollars separates the lowest asking price from the floor.
What drives its value
Condition determines nearly all value in this 45's market. A Mint copy commands 7.63 USD, while the same record in NM drops to 6.82 USD—a gap that reflects the sensitivity of 7-inch vinyl to handling and storage.
VG+ copies settle at 5.22 USD, and by VG the price falls to 3.61 USD. The lowest current asking price of 0.65 USD suggests heavily played or damaged stock.
With 31 copies actively for sale and 178 collectors reporting ownership against 25 want-list entries, supply outpaces demand. As a 1972 Decca pressing rather than an original 1971 release, this version occupies a secondary tier in the Rated "X" discography, making condition grading the sole lever for pricing differentiation.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Decca label and catalogue number 33039 printed on the label. The 7-inch, 45 RPM format is standard; verify the dead-wax matrix by examining both sides: Side A should read 7-123,633 W2 DWJ 2 and Side B 7-124,070 W2 DWJ 2, with the diamond symbol (◆) appearing on the B-side runout.
The MCA Pressing Plant, Pinckneyville credit confirms the 1972 US pressing. Grade by visual inspection of the vinyl surface and label condition: Mint assumes no visible wear, NM allows only light handling marks, VG+ permits light surface noise and minor label scuffing, and VG accepts moderate play wear.
No barcode appears on this issue, so label printing and matrix clarity are the primary authentication markers.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of this 45 worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 5.22 USD. This represents the midpoint between NM (6.82 USD) and VG (3.61 USD), reflecting light play and minor cosmetic wear while maintaining strong playback quality.
How much more does a Mint copy cost than a VG?
A Mint copy is priced at 7.63 USD and a VG copy at 3.61 USD according to the price guide. The difference underscores how 7-inch singles are highly condition-sensitive; even light play reduces value significantly on this format.
Why is the lowest asking price only 0.65 USD when the guide shows 1.20 USD for a G-graded copy?
The lowest current asking price of 0.65 USD likely represents a heavily damaged or unplayable copy, or a seller clearing inventory below guide value. The price guide's G grade at 1.20 USD assumes a record still playable with significant surface noise; anything worse trades at distressed prices.
Is this the original 1972 pressing or a reissue?
This is a 1972 US pressing on Decca, pressed at the MCA Pressing Plant in Pinckneyville. It is not the original 1971 release; the matrix stamps and pressing plant credit confirm the 1972 date. Original first pressings from 1971 command higher prices in the Rated "X" discography.
How many copies are currently on the market?
31 copies are listed for sale across major platforms. Against 178 collectors who report owning one and only 25 on want lists, supply comfortably exceeds active demand, which explains why prices cluster near or below guide value.
