About this record
The runout matrix LH-79 739 CK and LH-79 740 CK stamped in the dead wax identifies this 1980 Ramex pressing of Los Cadetes De Linares' Tema De La Pelicula Pistoleros Famosos as a US release distributed from Houston, Texas. Demand exceeds supply: 43 collectors want it against 35 who have it, yet only 1 copy sits for sale at 110.88 USD.
The 10-track corrido album carries catalogue LP-1050 with no barcode, marking it as an early Ramex pressing before UPC adoption became standard.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this norteño corrido. A Mint copy reaches 32.78 USD, while NM drops to 29.33 USD—a modest 3.45 USD gap that tightens further at VG+ (22.43 USD) and VG (15.53 USD).
The single listing at 110.88 USD suggests either exceptional rarity or a dealer premium; typical copies range from 15.53 USD in VG condition up to 32.78 USD in Mint. The want-to-have ratio of 43 against 35 owners signals steady collector interest in this regional Mexican pressing, though the narrow price spread between grades indicates the market values playability over pristine condition.
Ramex's 1980 Houston distribution limited this release's reach beyond Southwest markets.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Ramex label, catalogue LP-1050, and the two-sided runout matrix: LH-79 739 CK on side A and LH-79 740 CK on side B. The absence of a barcode and the release notes crediting Ramex Publishing Co. and the distributor address at 202 So.
Milby Street, Houston, Texas 77003 are definitive markers. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: Mint (32.78 USD) shows no visible wear; NM (29.33 USD) permits only light handling marks; VG+ (22.43 USD) allows light surface noise on quiet passages; VG (15.53 USD) shows audible groove wear and light scratches.
The 10 tracks span sides A3 to B4 per the release notes, confirming the full album structure. Original Ramex pressings from 1980 rarely appear with pristine jackets, so sleeve condition should be assessed separately from the vinyl grade.

Frequently asked
How do I identify the correct pressing of this Ramex release?
Look for the catalogue number LP-1050 on the spine and label. Check the dead wax on both sides: side A must read LH-79 739 CK and side B must read LH-79 740 CK. The absence of a barcode and the Ramex Publishing credit with the Houston, Texas address (202 So. Milby Street, 77003) confirm the 1980 original pressing.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 22.43 USD. This represents light surface noise and minor scratches that do not affect playback. The estimate reflects market data as of the guide's last update; actual sales may vary based on jacket condition and seller location.
Why is there only 1 copy for sale at 110.88 USD when the price guide shows 32.78 USD for Mint?
The 110.88 USD listing likely reflects a dealer premium, bundle pricing, or exceptional jacket condition not captured in the vinyl-only price guide. The price guide figures (from 1.73 USD in Poor up to 32.78 USD in Mint) represent typical market values for the vinyl alone. Ramex pressings with original sleeves command premiums when both are pristine.
Is this album in high demand?
Yes. The community data shows 43 collectors want it against 35 who own one, indicating more demand than supply. However, only 1 copy is currently listed for sale, suggesting either scarcity or infrequent turnover in the collector market for this regional Mexican corrido pressing.
What is the lowest grade I should consider buying?
A Good (G) graded copy is valued at 5.18 USD, while Fair (F) drops to 3.45 USD. At these grades, surface noise becomes prominent and scratches may affect quieter passages. For a 10-track corrido album, VG (15.53 USD) or better is recommended to preserve the vocal clarity and instrumentation that define norteño music.
