About this record

The 1971 Starline pressing of Relics bears dual catalogue identities—SRS 5071 on the cover and the EMI international code 1E 048 ○ 04775 on the back—and splits pressing duties between The Gramophone Co. Ltd. and Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd., a detail stamped into the dead wax rather than printed. Across 172 copies currently listed, the price floor sits at 4.58 USD, yet a Mint specimen commands 75.61 USD, a spread driven entirely by condition and the original status of this UK Starline issue among six later reissues spanning Germany, Portugal, and North America.

What drives its value

This 1971 UK Starline pressing anchors the Relics discography as the first edition, a status that justifies its steep condition-dependent valuation. A Mint copy reaches 75.61 USD, while NM drops to 67.65 USD and VG+ settles at 51.73 USD—a VG example trades at 35.81 USD, marking a clear collector threshold.

The 172 copies on the market at lowest price 4.58 USD represent heavily played or damaged stock; the gap between that floor and VG grade reflects how aggressively condition sorts buyers from bargain hunters. Against the 1977 German Emidisc, 1978 Music For Pleasure, and later 1981–2018 reissues, this original Starline holds premium because it preserves the earliest UK release artifact: the matt textured sleeve, blue labels, and Gramophone Company Ltd. rim text.

Demand of 1338 want against 13122 have suggests broad familiarity but scarcity at higher grades.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm this pressing by the Starline label imprint (SRS 5071 catalogue number on cover and labels) paired with the EMI international code 1E 048 ○ 04775 printed on the back cover top right. The dead wax will show one of four stamped runout variants: SRS 5071 A or B on either side, with GGR 2 or GRP 2 suffixes indicating The Gramophone Co. Ltd. or Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. pressing.

The sleeve is matt textured, printed in black and white, with 'A Bizarre Collection Of Antiques & Curios' artwork on the front and the credit line 'Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd.' at the bottom. Labels are blue Starline stock with The Gramophone Co. Ltd. perimeter rim text and EMI logo at 6 o'clock.

Grade by vinyl surface cleanliness, absence of hairline scratches, and label condition; note that tracks A1 and A3 are mono recordings electronically reprocessed to stereo, which may affect perceived fidelity on playback.

Frequently asked

What is the difference between the two catalogue numbers on this pressing?

SRS 5071 is the Starline label catalogue number printed on the cover and labels; 1E 048 ○ 04775 is the EMI international code, printed only on the back cover top right. Both refer to the same release. The dual numbering reflects EMI's internal distribution system for licensed budget-label pressings.

How much is a VG+ copy worth?

According to the price guide, a VG+ specimen is valued at 51.73 USD. This represents a record in very good condition with only light surface wear and no major defects. Prices are estimates as of the guide date and vary by market and seller.

Which pressing plant made my copy?

Check the dead wax stamping on both sides of the vinyl. If it ends in GGR 2, your copy was pressed by The Gramophone Co. Ltd.; if GRP 2, it came from Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Both plants were used for this 1971 Starline release. The plant code is stamped, not printed.

Is the 1971 Starline the original Relics release?

Yes. This 1971 UK Starline pressing is the first edition. Later reissues include the 1977 German Emidisc, 1978 UK Music For Pleasure, 1981–1982 US Harvest/Capitol editions, 1983 Portuguese Harvest, and 2018 Pink Floyd Records remaster. The Starline original commands premium value because it is the earliest pressing and the only one on blue Starline labels.

What is a Mint copy worth compared to a Good copy?

A Mint copy is valued at 75.61 USD, while a Good copy is valued at 11.94 USD. The difference reflects the collector premium for pristine condition and original packaging. Even a Fair copy (7.96 USD) holds resale value, but heavily damaged or Poor copies (3.98 USD) approach the floor price of 4.58 USD seen on the secondhand market.
