About this record
Stamped into the dead wax, the runout 7908681-A1 and 7908681-B1 mark this as a European EMI pressing, with the trailing numerals hand-etched on the opposite side of the groove. Demand runs ahead of supply: 554 collectors want it while 4980 list it as owned, a want-to-have ratio that keeps clean copies moving.
The Pet Shop Boys album carries three catalogue numbers across its labels, back cover and spine, so the sleeve itself is part of the identification.
What drives its value
The price_guide sets the USD values for this European LP at 38.04 for Mint, 34.03 for Near Mint, 26.03 for VG+ and 18.02 for VG. Those figures are estimates from the guide, so treat them as reference points rather than settled sale prices.
The market snapshot gives no live lowest price or count of copies for sale, so supply on the day cannot be read from the data here. Demand is the stronger signal: 4980 members have the album and 554 want it, with 445 ratings averaging 4.21.
The only other listed pressing is the 1988 US release on EMI USA under catalogue SPRO# 04231 / 04232, which sits outside this European issue and is not priced here. Among the European copies, the spread from Mint at 38.04 down to VG at 18.02 means the sleeve and the vinyl grade decide where a copy lands.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the labels, which carry catalogue number 064-79 0868 1, and the back cover, which carries 064 7 90868 1. The spine and inner sleeve should show 7 90868 1.
Check the dead wax for the matrix strings 064-79 0868 1 A and B, or 7908681-A1 and 7908681-B1, and look for the hand-etched trailing numerals on the opposite side of the runout groove. Pressing plant credits include EMI Electrola GmbH, Köln, and EMI Services Benelux B.V., Uden, printed in Holland, so the plant credit on the sleeve should match the country of issue.
Grade the record and sleeve separately against the price_guide scale, and note whether the printed inner sleeve and any white sticker reading INCL. 2 NO.1-HITS are present, since some copies carry it.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of this Pet Shop Boys album worth?
The price_guide lists 26.03 USD for a VG+ copy of the European Parlophone pressing. This is an estimate from the guide, not a live sale price.
What is a Mint copy worth?
The price_guide gives 38.04 USD for Mint. The guide lists no lowest current price and no number of copies currently for sale, so availability cannot be confirmed from this data.
How do I tell this pressing from the 1988 US release?
The European copy uses catalogue number 064-79 0868 1 and the matrix 7908681-A1. The US release is EMI USA under SPRO# 04231 / 04232, so check the catalogue number and label on the sleeve and vinyl.
Does every copy include the printed inner sleeve?
The release notes say the copy comes with a printed inner sleeve, and some copies also carry a white front-cover sticker reading INCL. 2 NO.1-HITS: DOMINO DANCING ALWAYS ON MY MIND. Check for both when assessing completeness.
How many people rate this pressing and what is the average?
The community data shows 445 ratings with an average of 4.21, alongside 4980 owners and 554 people who want the album.
