About this record
The Columbia Records Pressing Plant in Terre Haute stamped this 1981 US pressing with the runout matrix AL 36812 and BL 36812, identifiable by the large T etched in the dead wax—a hallmark of that facility's work. Demand here is substantial: 639 collectors want this pressing against 3283 who own one, yet only 25 copies are listed for sale, creating scarcity pressure across all grades.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this Terre Haute pressing. A Mint copy commands 224.86 USD, while a VG+ drops to 153.85 USD and a VG settles at 106.51 USD—the spread reflects how heavily collectors prize clean copies of this 1981 debut.
The lowest asking price sits at 16.9 USD, but that represents heavily played stock; the median collector holding one rates it 4.51 stars across 223 votes. This is the original US pressing on Jet Records (catalogue JZ 36812), not the 1980 UK edition (JETLP 234) or the 2021 Epic reissue.
The 9-track stereo LP was recorded March 22–April 19, 1980, and mixed May 5–20 at Ridge Farm Studios, making it a first pressing of the series.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the Jet Records label without the later Sony symbol and the catalogue number JZ 36812 printed on the spine and label. The runout etchings read AL 36812 and BL 36812 on sides A and B respectively, with the identifier T1 or similar large T marking Terre Haute manufacture.
The release notes state © and ℗ 1981 CBS Inc., and the custom inner sleeve includes full lyrics. The barcode is present (EAN-13 format, 13 digits beginning with the US country code).
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: Mint (224.86 USD) shows no play wear; NM (201.19 USD) is near-mint with minimal signs; VG+ (153.85 USD) has light surface marks but plays cleanly; VG (106.51 USD) shows visible wear and light surface noise. The label should be clean and centered, with no writing or stickers.

Frequently asked
How do I confirm this is the original 1981 US pressing and not a later reissue?
Check the label for Jet Records without the Sony symbol and the catalogue number JZ 36812. The runout matrix will read AL 36812 or BL 36812 with a large T etched by the Columbia Records Pressing Plant in Terre Haute. The 2021 Epic reissue carries catalogue 19439812511 and a different label design. The 1980 UK first pressing uses Jet catalogue JETLP 234.
What is a VG+ copy worth on the current market?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 153.85 USD. This represents a record with light surface marks that plays without significant noise. The jump from VG (106.51 USD) to VG+ is substantial, reflecting collector preference for cleaner copies of this landmark 1981 debut.
Why is there such a large price gap between Mint and VG condition?
A Mint copy is priced at 224.86 USD versus VG at 106.51 USD because unplayed copies of this 1981 pressing are scarce—only 25 are listed for sale across all platforms. The 639 collectors actively seeking it against 3283 who own one means demand concentrates on the best-preserved examples. Heavy play wear and surface noise drop value sharply.
What does the T1 marking in the runout mean?
The large T (often T1, T2, 1T, or 2T) etched in the dead wax identifies this as a Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Terre Haute pressing. The release notes confirm this plant used this identifier system. It distinguishes this pressing from other US plants that manufactured the same catalogue number JZ 36812.
Is the custom inner sleeve with lyrics included in the value?
Yes. The release notes specify a custom inner sleeve with lyrics was included with this pressing. Its presence or absence affects condition grading and resale appeal. A complete copy with the sleeve intact commands higher prices than a jacket-only copy, particularly at VG+ (153.85 USD) and above.
