About this record

Pressed for the Philippines market by Audio Music Corporation in 1984, this Warner Bros. release carries catalogue 1-25110 and matrix stamps 1-25110 A and 1-25110 B—a distinct regional variant from the concurrent US pressing (25110-1). Community demand is acute: 712 collectors want this pressing against only 270 who own one, yet none are currently listed for sale, making market discovery difficult.

The price spread from Mint (54.62 USD) down to Poor (2.88 USD) reflects how heavily condition drives value on this scarce territorial edition.

What drives its value

This Philippines pressing commands premium pricing because it is neither the original US release nor a modern reissue, placing it in a narrow collector window. A Mint copy reaches 54.62 USD, while Near Mint settles at 48.87 USD—a gap that reflects the rarity of unplayed stock from this regional pressing plant.

VG+ copies trade at 37.38 USD, and VG examples at 25.87 USD, showing that even played copies retain strong value. The want-to-have ratio of 712 to 270 indicates sustained demand outpaces available inventory.

No copies are currently for sale (0 listed), which suppresses price discovery but underscores scarcity. The 1984 US pressing (25110-1) and later reissues from 1992 South Korea, 2017 Europe, and 2020 Europe all trade at different price points; this Philippines variant occupies its own tier because Audio Music Corporation's pressing quality and the poor print finish on the cardboard sleeve (especially the back cover) create a distinct collecting category.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 1-25110 on the spine and label, paired with the matrix runout stamps 1-25110 A (Side 1) and 1-25110 B (Side 2) in the dead wax. Audio Music Corporation is the sole pressing plant credited.

The barcode is present. The cardboard sleeve has pasted-on front and back covers with no printed inner sleeve; print quality is notably poor on the back cover.

Hype text on the cover reads featuring 157532 and 16212. Copyright text states Philippine Copyright 1984 by WEA Records, with additional marks for Warner Bros. Records Inc. and WEA International Inc. Both back cover and labels carry the stamp PARI MEMBER APPROVED.

Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and the sleeve for edge wear and foxing; the poor print quality means even new-condition copies may show ink inconsistencies that are not defects but manufacturing traits of this pressing plant.

Frequently asked

How much is a Mint copy of this Philippines pressing worth?

According to the price guide, a Mint (M) example is valued at 54.62 USD. This represents the highest tier and assumes unplayed vinyl with a pristine sleeve. The estimate reflects the rarity of this regional variant and the scarcity of stock in perfect condition from 1984.

What is the price difference between a VG+ and a VG copy?

A VG+ copy is priced at 37.38 USD, while a VG copy is valued at 25.87 USD according to the price guide. The gap reflects the collector preference for minimal surface wear and audible clarity; VG copies may show light play marks and faint background noise.

Why is this Philippines pressing harder to find than the US version?

The US pressing (catalogue 25110-1) was manufactured in larger quantities for the primary market. This Philippines edition, pressed by Audio Music Corporation, was a regional release with lower production volume. The want count of 712 against a have count of 270 indicates sustained collector interest exceeds available stock, and no copies are currently for sale (0 listed), confirming scarcity.

Does the poor print quality on the back cover affect the grade?

Poor print quality is a manufacturing characteristic of this pressing plant and pressing, not a defect that lowers grade. Grading focuses on vinyl surface condition and sleeve structural integrity (tears, creases, foxing). A sleeve with original poor printing but no physical damage still qualifies for a high grade in the sleeve category.

How does this 1984 Philippines pressing compare to the 2017 and 2020 European reissues?

The 1984 Philippines pressing (1-25110, Audio Music Corporation) is an original regional release with limited stock and distinct pressing characteristics. The 2017 European reissue (catalogue 9362-49302-4) and 2020 European reissue (catalogue 093624930242) are modern pressings with wider availability and different sonic profiles. Original regional pressings typically command higher collector premiums than reissues due to scarcity and historical significance.
