About this record
The runout reads ZAL 12683 and ZAL 12684, and the release notes state the disc was made in England for the American market, so this is a UK-pressed copy sold in the US rather than an American plant pressing. The label credits the Decca Record Co. Ltd. pressing plant in the UK, with the 1974 Decca copyright and a 1975 London Records copyright printed on the sleeve.
What drives its value
The price guide runs from a Mint figure of 24.02 USD down to a VG figure of 11.38 USD, with VG+ at 16.44 USD and NM at 21.50 USD; these are guide estimates and not sale records. At the time of the snapshot, the lowest listed price was 3.56 USD with 12 copies for sale.
Demand is modest: 206 community members have the album and 8 want it, which keeps a broad supply in circulation. The record's value depends on whether it is treated as the original 1975 London US release or a later pressing.
The release notes list the catalogue number CS 6845 with three printed variants (CS6845 on the front cover and spine, CS-6845 on the back cover, CS 6845 on the labels), and the community rating stands at 4.1 from 20 ratings. Because the price spread is wide, a buyer should prioritise condition over any assumed rarity.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the dead wax. The matrix/runout strings in the record data are ZAL 12683 and ZAL 12684, with the variants ZAL-12683-2W 2D and ZAL-12684-1W 2B, and the pressing plant is recorded as Decca Record Co. Ltd., Pressing Plant, UK.
Check that the side one and side two runouts match these strings, since a different matrix would indicate a different pressing. Match the catalogue number on the spine, cover and labels to CS 6845, and confirm the copyright lines (1974 Decca, 1975 London Records, Inc.) on the sleeve and labels.
Grade the disc against the standard scale of M, NM, VG+, VG, G+, G, F and P, comparing the sleeve and vinyl separately, and use the guide values of 24.02, 21.50, 16.44, 11.38, 6.32, 3.79, 2.53 and 1.26 USD as the reference points for each grade.
