About this record
The 1980 UK pressing on Jet Records (JETLP 234) from CBS Aston Clinton carries matrix variants across its sides—JET LP 234 A and B8 denote a first pressing, while later copies show JET LP 234 B or the timtom-cbs F stamp. Condition fractures the market sharply: a Mint copy trades at 239.92 USD against a VG pressing at 113.65 USD, yet 27 copies currently list below 17.76 USD, signaling deep supply pressure at lower grades.
What drives its value
The price spread on this UK original reflects scarcity at top grades and abundance at the bottom. Mint sits at 239.92 USD; NM drops to 214.67 USD; VG+ holds 164.16 USD; VG falls to 113.65 USD.
The lowest asking price of 17.76 USD across 27 active listings shows dealers clearing stock in Fair or Poor condition. Community demand is substantial—2318 collectors want this pressing against 4677 who own one—but the ratio favors supply.
The 1981 US Jet pressing (JZ 36812) and 2021 Epic reissue (19439812511) fragment the market; this original UK issue commands premium only in VG+ or better. Below VG, this becomes a bulk-lot item rather than a collectible.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the UK original by the Jet Records label and catalogue number JETLP 234 (or JET LP 234 with space). The dead-wax matrix on side A reads JET LP 234 A or JET-LP 234 A1 timtom-cbs F; side B shows JET LP 234 B8 or B.
The pressing plant credit—CBS Pressing Plant, Aston Clinton—appears in the runout. No barcode was printed on UK originals of this issue.
The back sleeve lacks a Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd. credit at the bottom left, distinguishing it from later reprints. Grading hinges on vinyl surface (hairlines and light scratches drop from NM to VG+), sleeve condition (the A4 lyric sheet x 3 and optional poster are prone to loss or damage), and label gloss.
A Mint copy shows no play wear and pristine sleeve; VG+ allows light surface marks and minor creasing; VG permits visible play wear and sleeve edge wear.

Frequently asked
How do I confirm this is the 1980 UK pressing and not the 1981 US version?
Check the label: UK originals read Jet Records with catalogue JETLP 234 or JET LP 234. The runout matrix on side A will show JET LP 234 A or JET-LP 234 A1 timtom-cbs F; side B shows JET LP 234 B8 or B. The pressing plant credit in the dead wax reads CBS Pressing Plant, Aston Clinton. The 1981 US pressing carries catalogue JZ 36812 and a different matrix. No barcode appears on the UK original.
What is a VG+ copy worth, and how reliable is that figure?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 164.16 USD according to the price guide. This is a guide value, not a guaranteed sale price; actual market transactions vary. The 27 active listings show a floor of 17.76 USD for heavily played copies, while Mint examples command 239.92 USD. VG+ represents the sweet spot for collectors seeking playable condition without Mint-grade expense.
Why does the price drop so steeply between VG and VG+?
VG+ at 164.16 USD versus VG at 113.65 USD reflects collector preference for near-mint vinyl on a landmark debut. Light surface marks and minor sleeve creasing—the boundary between VG+ and VG—matter disproportionately on a 1980 original because clean copies are scarce relative to demand (2318 want it). Below VG, the record enters utility territory and loses collectible premium.
Does the A4 lyric sheet or poster affect value?
The release notes confirm that A4 lyric sheet x 3 came with some copies and a poster with others. Presence or absence of these inserts is not quantified in the price guide, so their impact on value is not isolated here. Collectors typically prefer complete original packaging, so a copy with all three lyric sheets and poster intact would likely grade higher and command a premium over a copy missing them.
How many copies of this pressing are currently for sale, and at what price floor?
27 copies are listed for sale across the market, with the lowest asking price at 17.76 USD. This suggests heavy inventory at lower grades (Fair or Poor condition). The community has 4677 owners and 2318 want-list entries, indicating that supply at bargain prices outpaces demand for beater copies, while VG+ and Mint examples remain scarce relative to collector interest.
