About this record
Marco Paulo's Sedução, pressed by EMI-Valentim De Carvalho, Música Lda. in 1986 for the Portuguese market under catalogue 1775961, carries no barcode—a hallmark of early EMI Portugal vinyl. The 10-track stereo LP opens with a cover version of Amor Italiano (Je T'aime a L'italienne), credited to Frederic François, Santo Barracato, and Jean Michel Beriat, adapted by Antônio José.
Demand sits modest: 6 collectors want it against 56 who own one, placing this ballad-vocal pop record firmly in the backlist tier.
What drives its value
A Mint copy of this pressing commands 15.09 USD, while a VG+ example trades at 10.33 USD—a spread that reflects condition sensitivity on a 1986 Portuguese pressing with limited international circulation. The lowest asking price across 12 active listings stands at 4.07 USD, indicating soft secondary-market momentum.
The community snapshot (56 have, 6 want) and a 3.33 rating from 6 raters confirm this is a regional catalog filler rather than a sought reissue. Original EMI Portugal pressings from this era retain modest value because they were pressed in volume for domestic radio and retail; NM copies at 13.51 USD represent the sweet spot for collectors seeking clean audio without Mint-grade premiums.
Reissues or alternate country pressings would command different trajectories, but this original 1986 EMI-Valentim De Carvalho variant holds its ground as a stable, low-volatility holding.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 1775961 on the front cover and spine. The absence of a barcode (has_barcode: false) is a key identifier for EMI Portugal pressings of this vintage.
Check the dead wax for the EMI-Valentim De Carvalho, Música Lda. plant attribution; this Lisbon facility was EMI's primary Portuguese vinyl manufacturer in the mid-1980s. The label should read EMI across the A and B sides.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under bright light: Mint (15.09 USD) shows no visible wear, NM (13.51 USD) permits only light dust, VG+ (10.33 USD) allows light surface noise and minor hairlines, VG (7.15 USD) shows audible surface noise and light scratches, and lower grades (G+ at 3.97 USD, G at 2.38 USD) indicate heavy play wear. The 10-track stereo configuration and the opening track Amor Italiano (Je T'aime a L'italienne) confirm the correct pressing; alternate versions or reissues may omit or reorder tracks.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number for this pressing?
The catalogue number is 1775961, printed on the front cover and spine. This identifier distinguishes the 1986 EMI Portugal original from any later reissues or alternate country editions.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
A VG+ copy is valued at 10.33 USD according to the price guide. This grade permits light surface noise and minor hairlines but no audible skips; it represents the practical sweet spot for collectors seeking clean playback without investing in Mint condition.
What pressing plant made this record?
EMI-Valentim De Carvalho, Música Lda., based in Lisbon, Portugal, manufactured this 1986 pressing. The plant attribution appears in the dead wax and confirms the domestic Portuguese origin rather than a European or international pressing.
Why does this record have no barcode?
EMI Portugal did not apply barcodes to vinyl releases in 1986; the absence is standard for this era and region. Barcode adoption in Portuguese retail came later, so the lack of a barcode is a reliable marker of authenticity for this vintage.
What is the lowest price I should expect to pay?
The lowest asking price across 12 active listings is 4.07 USD. However, a Mint copy is priced at 15.09 USD and an NM copy at 13.51 USD; the 4.07 USD floor likely reflects heavily played or damaged stock. A VG copy at 7.15 USD offers better value than the floor price for listenable condition.
