About this record
The ◈-P-◈ stamp in the dead wax marks this 1986 MCA pressing as a Precision plant variant — a detail absent from the label itself. The matrix numbers MCA-5530-PL and MCA-5531-PL lack the space between letters and digits that appear on other copies, a quirk that separates this specific run from concurrent pressings of the same title.
What drives its value
This US pressing trades at a steep discount to its catalogue age: the lowest current asking price sits at 0.89 USD, with 89 copies for sale across markets. The price_guide span runs from 5.14 USD (Mint) down to 0.27 USD (Poor), a compression driven by supply.
Community ownership is broad — 417 collectors have it — against modest want (37), a ratio that keeps secondary-market prices soft. The Precision plant variant carries no premium over standard MCA pressings; condition alone determines value.
A VG+ copy estimates at 3.52 USD and a VG at 2.44 USD, meaningful only if the record is genuinely clean; most copies in circulation trade below guide, reflecting the title's commercial availability in 1986.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number MCA-5737 on the spine and label. Check the dead wax on both sides: Side A should read MCA-5530-PL 12 P1 Precision, and Side B should read MCA-5531-PL 8 Precision ◈-P-◈.
The label matrix numbers must omit the space (MCA5530 and MCA5531, not MCA 5530 and MCA 5531). The pressing plant credit reads MCA Pressing Plant, Pinckneyville.
Grade by visual inspection of the vinyl surface and playback test: Mint implies no visible wear; NM allows faint dust marks but no audible surface noise; VG+ shows light hairline scratches but plays cleanly; VG exhibits visible scratches and light surface noise. The barcode is present on this pressing.

Frequently asked
How do I know this is the Precision plant pressing and not another variant?
Look at the runout etching on the vinyl itself, not the label. Side B must show the ◈-P-◈ symbol followed by Precision. Additionally, the matrix numbers on both the label and runout should read MCA5530 and MCA5531 without a space between the letters and numerals — a formatting quirk unique to this variant.
What is a VG+ copy worth according to the price guide?
The price_guide lists VG+ at 3.52 USD. This is an estimate; actual sales often fall below guide value because 89 copies are currently listed for sale, and the lowest asking price is only 0.89 USD, reflecting a flooded market.
Why is this record so cheap when it was released in 1986?
Winner In You was a successful commercial release, pressed in large quantities for the US market. The community data shows 417 collectors own it against only 37 seeking it, a supply-to-demand imbalance that suppresses price. Most copies remain in circulation and are readily available.
What is the difference between a Mint and a VG copy in dollar terms?
A Mint copy estimates at 5.14 USD and a VG at 2.44 USD according to the price_guide. However, these are guide values; actual market prices cluster far lower because inventory is abundant and collector interest is modest.
Does the Precision plant pressing command a higher price than other MCA variants?
No. The pressing plant and the ◈-P-◈ runout marking are identifying details, not value drivers. Price is determined entirely by condition and market supply. At 0.89 USD lowest asking price across 89 listings, this variant trades at parity with other copies of the same title.
