About this record
Pressed at A.R.E.A.C.E.M. in France for United Artists Records, this 1976 Paul Curtis single carries the catalogue number UP 36.126 and bears the plant's logo in the dead wax on both sides. The runout matrix 36.126 A and 36.126 B confirm the original French pressing, a two-track 7-inch 45 that remains modestly available but shows minimal collector competition.
What drives its value
This French 45 occupies the lower tier of the vinyl market. A Mint copy commands 7.39 USD, while a VG+ example sits at 5.05 USD and a VG at 3.50 USD—a steep drop that reflects condition sensitivity on an older, lightly sought single.
The lowest asking price across 23 active listings is 0.77 USD, indicating that bulk stock and worn copies flood the supply. Community data shows 43 collectors own it against only 1 who wants one, confirming it is a common French pressing rather than a rarity.
As a United Artists domestic release for the French market, it carries no premium over reissues or alternate pressings; its value rests entirely on condition and the buyer's tolerance for a minor-label rock-pop track from the mid-1970s.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the catalogue number UP 36.126 on the label and the A.R.E.A.C.E.M. plant logo stamped in the runout groove on both sides. The matrix reads 36.126 A on the A-side and 36.126 B on the B-side, with the plant identifier MCι appended.
The single is stereo, 45 RPM, and a two-track format. Look for the logo imprint in the dead wax—its presence confirms the French pressing plant rather than a later reissue or alternate plant.
Grading hinges on vinyl surface condition: check for hairline scratches, dust, and groove wear under strong light. Even light surface noise will drop a Mint candidate into NM or VG+ territory.
The absence of a barcode is consistent with 1976 French pressing practice.
