About this record
Stamped in the dead wax, the runouts 01_39547_1A_1 A, 01_39547_1B_1 A and 01-39547-20 mark this as a CBS, Haarlem pressing made in Holland for the 1984 European issue. The sleeve states the disc was digitally remastered from newly re-mixed master analog tapes and was previously released on M 32349, so the catalogue number MP 39547 is the one to match against the label.
Demand is modest, with 50 collectors listing it as a have and 7 as a want.
What drives its value
The price guide for this pressing runs from a Mint figure of 11.55 USD down to 5.47 USD for VG, with NM at 10.34 USD and VG+ at 7.90 USD as estimates from the guide date. Lower grades fall further, from G+ at 3.04 USD to P at 0.61 USD.
At the time of the snapshot there were 10 copies for sale, with the lowest asking price at 1.59 USD, so the market is thin and a copy in clean condition commands most of the value. The community figures of 50 haves and 7 wants show steady ownership with limited active buying.
Because this is a 1984 European reissue of an album previously issued on M 32349, its value sits below any earlier original, and the price reflects the reissue status rather than a scarcer first pressing.
How to appraise this pressing
To confirm this exact pressing, check the label for the CBS Masterworks logo on the labels and the catalogue number MP 39547 on both sides. The sleeve should carry the CBS Records Masterworks logo on the front and rear, the uncredited English sleeve notes alongside the German and French credited notes, and the note that the disc was made in Holland.
Turn the record over and read the dead wax: the stamped matrices should read 01_39547_1A_1 A on side one, 01_39547_1B_1 A on side two, and 01-39547-20 as the additional runout code, all tied to the CBS, Haarlem plant. There is no barcode on this release, so the matrix and plant stamps are the decisive identifiers.
Grade the disc by inspecting the playing surface under a light at an angle and the sleeve edges and spine for wear, then match the condition to the price guide tiers.
