About this record
The Winchester pressing plant variation of Madonna's 1983 debut carries four distinct matrix runouts—RE2 WW4, RE1 WW1, RE2 WW1 #2, and RE1 WW1 #2—each stamped STERLING in the dead wax, marking this as a Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Winchester pressing rather than competing East Coast variants. The price spread from Mint at 206.48 USD down to VG at 97.81 USD reflects how heavily condition drives value on this synth-pop debut, with 68 copies currently for sale across the market.
What drives its value
This Winchester pressing commands a steep condition premium: a Mint copy trades at 206.48 USD, while the same album in VG grade drops to 97.81 USD—a gap that underscores the scarcity of unplayed originals. The NM tier sits at 184.75 USD and VG+ at 141.28 USD, positioning collectors who own played copies in the 97.81–141.28 USD range.
Among 11110 collectors who own the title, 1701 actively want it, signaling sustained demand despite the 1983 release date. The 1983 US Sire pressing (catalogue 1-23867 or 9 23867-1) differs from later 1983 variants carrying different catalogue numbers and from the 2019 European reissue, making original Winchester pressings the reference standard.
At 1.16 USD floor price, bulk or damaged stock occasionally surfaces, but the 68 active listings cluster in the 97.81–206.48 USD band.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Sire catalogue number 1-23867 or 9 23867-1 and the Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Winchester credit on the label. The four matrix runouts—1 23867A RE2 WW4, 1 23867B RE1 WW1, 1 23867 A RE2 WW1 #2, and 1 23867 B RE1 WW1 #2—all carry STERLING mastering stamps, distinguishing Winchester stock from other 1983 US pressings.
The release notes confirm the 4:48 version of Burning Up on this variant; a subsequent East Coast reissue substituted a 3:41 edit. The barcode is present.
Grading hinges on the inner sleeve (custom picture and lyrics on mat paper) and cover foil stamp: some copies bear gold foil "Lent for Promotional Use Only" text, which does not reduce collectible value but signals promotional distribution. Surface play, spindle wear on the label, and seam splits on the gatefold are the primary wear vectors; the mat-paper inner sleeve is prone to foxing and edge fraying.

Frequently asked
How do I identify the Winchester pressing from other 1983 US Sire releases?
Check the dead-wax matrix runout on both sides. Winchester pressings carry one of four matrices: 1 23867A RE2 WW4, 1 23867B RE1 WW1, 1 23867 A RE2 WW1 #2, or 1 23867 B RE1 WW1 #2, all stamped STERLING. The label must credit Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Winchester. Other 1983 US Sire pressings use catalogue numbers 9 23867-4 or W1-23867 and different pressing plants.
What is a VG+ copy of this pressing worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 141.28 USD. This estimate reflects the mid-tier of the market; actual sales depend on the inner sleeve condition and whether the cover carries the promotional foil stamp.
Why is the price spread so wide between Mint and VG?
A Mint copy is priced at 206.48 USD while VG drops to 97.81 USD because unplayed original pressings from 1983 are scarce; most copies in circulation show spindle wear, surface noise, or inner-sleeve damage. The mat-paper inner sleeve is fragile and prone to foxing, so truly Mint examples with pristine sleeves command a premium.
What does the 4:48 version of Burning Up indicate?
The release notes confirm this Winchester pressing includes the 4:48 version of Burning Up. A subsequent East Coast reissue pressing substituted a 3:41 edit, making the longer version exclusive to early Winchester stock and a point of differentiation for collectors seeking the original mix.
Is the promotional foil stamp a defect?
No. Some copies bear gold foil "Lent for Promotional Use Only" text on the cover, indicating promotional distribution to radio and press. This does not reduce collectible value and is simply a marker of the pressing's original channel.
