About this record

Pressed at SNA in France during 1983, this Carrere 7-inch single (catalogue 13321) carries the matrix runout 13321 A Ʈ on the A-side and 13321 B Ʈ on the B-side—a marking that distinguishes it from later Discomagic reissues. The release notes confirm this pressing omits the Disco Magic logo entirely, a detail absent from the variant catalogued 6348397.

Demand sits at 142 want against 1272 have in the collector community, yet 62 copies remain listed for sale, suggesting steady but not acute scarcity.

What drives its value

Price spreads sharply by condition on this Italo-Disco single. A Mint copy reaches 6.99 USD, while a VG+ specimen drops to 4.78 USD and a VG copy to 3.31 USD—the steepest loss occurs between NM (6.25 USD) and VG+ (4.78 USD).

The lowest asking price across 62 active listings is 0.3 USD, indicating bulk-lot or clearance stock. The want-to-have ratio of 142 to 1272 reflects modest collector interest relative to supply.

The French pressing plant SNA and the absence of Disco Magic branding on the label distinguish this from the 6348397 variant, which commands separate pricing. The 2-track format and 45 RPM speed are standard for the era and market.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm this pressing by the Carrere label, catalogue number 13321 (also printed as 13.321), and the SNA pressing plant mark in the dead wax. The matrix runout reads 13321 A Ʈ on side A and 13321 B Ʈ on side B; these symbols are the key identifier separating this from reissues.

The release notes state explicitly that this version has no Disco Magic logo on the label—compare against 6348397 to verify the absence. The 7-inch format plays at 45 RPM and contains 2 tracks.

No barcode was applied to this pressing. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and the label for foxing or ring wear; the price guide values range from 6.99 USD (M) down to 0.37 USD (P), so condition assessment directly impacts resale value.

Frequently asked

What is the difference between this 13321 pressing and the 6348397 variant?

The release notes confirm that this Carrere 13321 pressing has no Disco Magic logo on the label, whereas the 6348397 version does carry that logo. Both are 7-inch 45 RPM singles from the same era, but the label design and branding differ, making them distinct catalogue entries with separate pricing.

How much is a VG+ copy worth?

According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 4.78 USD. This represents a significant drop from the NM price of 6.25 USD, reflecting the collector preference for near-mint condition on 1983 Italo-Disco singles.

Why is the lowest asking price only 0.3 USD when the guide values a Poor copy at 0.37 USD?

The 62 copies currently for sale include heavily played or damaged stock priced below the formal grading scale, likely from bulk lots or clearance inventory. The price guide floor of 0.37 USD (Poor grade) represents a baseline for playable copies; listings at 0.3 USD suggest sellers moving stock regardless of condition or market value.

What does the SNA pressing plant mark tell me?

SNA was a French vinyl pressing facility active in the 1980s. The SNA mark in the dead wax confirms this is a genuine French pressing from the original 1983 run on Carrere, not a later reissue or bootleg. The matrix runout 13321 A Ʈ and 13321 B Ʈ further authenticate the pressing plant and catalogue assignment.

Is this record in high demand?

Community data shows 142 collectors want it against 1272 who own one, a ratio of roughly 1 want per 9 have. With 62 copies actively for sale, supply outpaces demand. The 3.98 rating from 93 votes suggests moderate collector interest rather than cult status, typical for a mid-tier Italo-Disco single from 1983.
