About this record
Pressed at Vogue's Manufacture De Productions Phonographiques Vogue facility in France during 1980, this 7-inch 45 RPM single carries the catalogue number 101274 and bears the dead-wax matrix stamps 101274 A M.P.P.V and 101274 B M.P.P.V, confirming domestic French production rather than an export pressing. The 2-track Rock single sits in a narrow price band: Mint copies fetch 8.59 USD while the lowest asking price across 14 active listings is 1.99 USD, a compression that reflects modest collector demand—only 5 want it against 11 who own one.
What drives its value
This Vogue 101274 pressing commands a steep condition-dependent valuation. Mint specimens reach 8.59 USD, dropping to 7.69 USD in Near Mint and 5.88 USD in VG+ condition; a VG copy settles at 4.07 USD.
The 14 copies currently for sale at 1.99 USD floor price suggest either heavy wear or aggressive dealer clearing. Community ownership (11 have) outpaces demand (5 want), placing this single in the secondary tier of 1980 French Rock 45s.
The M.P.P.V plant-stamped runout (101274 A M.P.P.V / 101274 B M.P.P.V) confirms original French manufacture, which anchors value against later reissues or export variants. Condition separation—from 8.59 USD down to 4.07 USD across just three grades—means even minor surface wear erodes asking price substantially.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the Vogue label imprint and catalogue number 101274 on both A and B sides. Examine the dead-wax runout grooves: authentic copies bear either 101274 A or 101274 B, followed by the plant identifier M.P.P.V (Manufacture De Productions Phonographiques Vogue).
The absence of a barcode confirms 1980 French origin; later reissues or export variants typically carry EAN codes. Grade by vinyl surface: Mint (8.59 USD) shows no play wear, NM (7.69 USD) exhibits only light handling marks, VG+ (5.88 USD) displays light surface noise on quiet passages, and VG (4.07 USD) shows audible groove wear.
The 7-inch format and 45 RPM speed are standard; focus grading on label condition (gloss, printing fidelity) and vinyl clarity rather than sleeve, as most 45s of this era circulated without original sleeves.

Frequently asked
What does the M.P.P.V stamp in the runout mean?
M.P.P.V stands for Manufacture De Productions Phonographiques Vogue, the pressing plant that manufactured this 1980 single in France. The matrix stamps 101274 A M.P.P.V and 101274 B M.P.P.V confirm the record was pressed domestically at Vogue's facility rather than licensed to an overseas plant, which is significant for collectors seeking original French pressings of this catalogue number.
Why is there such a wide price gap between Mint and VG condition?
Mint copies are valued at 8.59 USD while VG drops to 4.07 USD—a split driven by the rarity of unplayed 1980 French 45s and the fragility of vinyl at this age. Most copies in circulation show at least light play wear; finding a truly Mint specimen commands a premium. The 14 listings at 1.99 USD floor price likely represent heavily played or damaged stock, illustrating how condition dominates value on this pressing.
How many copies are on the market right now?
14 copies are currently for sale across tracked marketplaces, with the lowest asking price at 1.99 USD. This modest supply relative to the 11 collectors who own one suggests the single is not scarce, but also not actively sought—only 5 want it, indicating soft demand for this particular Regards Rock single.
Is this an original 1980 pressing or a reissue?
This is an original 1980 French pressing, confirmed by the Vogue catalogue number 101274 and the M.P.P.V plant identifier in the dead-wax runout. The absence of a barcode further supports 1980 dating; barcode adoption in France accelerated through the 1980s. No reissue information is documented for this title, so any copy bearing the 101274 A M.P.P.V or 101274 B M.P.P.V matrix is from the original pressing run.
What is a VG+ copy worth as a reference point?
VG+ condition is priced at 5.88 USD according to the current price guide, representing the sweet spot between playable wear and collectible presentation. This grade sits midway between the 8.59 USD Mint ceiling and the 4.07 USD VG floor, making it a useful benchmark for evaluating copies with light surface noise but no groove damage.
