About this record
Look at the dead wax first: the runouts read ZSS 175290 and ZSS 175291 on Side A and Side B, and the variant carries a P etched into the run-out, the mark that ties this copy to the Columbia Pitman plant. Ruthless People is a 7-inch 45 RPM single issued by Epic with a picture sleeve, catalogue number 34-06211, pressed on styrene in the US in 1986.
Demand is steady rather than frantic, with 276 collectors listing it as have and 28 as want.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this single at 24.55 USD in Mint, 21.97 in Near Mint, 16.80 in VG+ and 11.63 in VG, so grade drives almost all of the value. Mint and Near Mint copies sit at the top of that range, while Good and Poor copies fall to 3.88 and 1.29.
The market snapshot shows 47 copies currently for sale, with the lowest listed price at 0.79, which means the asking prices across the market are far below the guide values for worn copies. Demand is moderate: 276 have and 28 want, with a community rating of 3.77 from 13 ratings.
Among the listed pressings, this is the factory variant with the P etched in the run-out, which is the version to check first, as the release notes flag it as distinct from the Carrollton pressing noted alongside it. Estimates are based on the guide data provided and reflect the guide date, not a live sale.
How to appraise this pressing
Start with the matrix: the runouts should read ZSS 175290 and ZSS 175291, with the variant marking ZSS 175290 - 1A and ZSS 175291 - 1A on the etched sides. Confirm the P etched in the run-out, which identifies the Columbia Pitman factory pressing.
Check that the label is Epic and the catalogue number is 34-06211, and look for the picture sleeve, since the release is issued with one. Confirm the 7-inch format, 45 RPM and the styrene disc.
The record should carry a barcode, which the listing confirms, with the number 074640621178 where a sleeve or label reference is printed. Grade the disc against the guide scale: Mint and Near Mint for flawless surfaces, VG+ for light wear with clear playback, and VG or below for visible surface marks, with the sleeve graded separately.
Compare the etched run-out and matrix against your copy before assigning the variant value.
