About this record
The runout matrix OTTEY 2106 A MORE RELATION identifies this 1979 US pressing on the More Relation label (catalogue MR-2106) as a roots reggae LP that has never been reissued. Demand vastly outpaces supply: 822 collectors want this record against only 117 who own one, yet just 3 copies are listed for sale at 255 USD or above.
The price spread from Mint (590.54 USD) down to Poor (31.08 USD) reflects how heavily condition determines value on this scarce original.
What drives its value
This 1979 More Relation self-titled commands steep pricing because original pressings remain scarce and the want-to-have ratio (822 to 117) signals sustained collector demand. A Mint copy reaches 590.54 USD, while a VG+ drops to 404.05 USD and a VG settles at 279.73 USD—a steep slide that punishes wear on an already expensive record.
Only 3 copies currently trade at 255 USD or higher, confirming tight supply. The 10-track roots reggae album on the independent More Relation label has never been reissued, making the original pressing the sole option for collectors.
The catalogue number MR-2106 and matrix OTTEY 2106 A MORE RELATION verify authenticity; no barcode was printed on this edition.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the label name More Relation, catalogue number MR-2106, and the dead-wax matrix OTTEY 2106 A MORE RELATION stamped into the vinyl. The absence of a barcode is consistent with 1979 US independent releases.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: Mint (590.54 USD) shows no play wear or marks; NM (528.38 USD) permits only light dust; VG+ (404.05 USD) allows light surface noise and minor scratches that do not affect playback; VG (279.73 USD) shows audible surface noise and visible scratches but plays through; G+ (155.41 USD) has heavy scratches and noise; G (93.24 USD) plays with significant distortion; F (62.16 USD) skips or sticks; P (31.08 USD) is barely playable. The 10 tracks and roots reggae style are consistent across all original pressings of this title.
