About this record
Pressed at A.R.E.A.C.E.M. in France for the Formule 1 label, this 1977 Ringo single carries the runout codes 49307 A 1 and 49307 B, both stamped with the Areacem logo in the dead wax. With 575 collectors holding copies against only 2 who want one, this is a deep catalogue item with minimal collector heat—yet 116 copies remain in circulation at the lowest asking price of 0.2 USD, suggesting steady supply and weak demand.
What drives its value
The price guide for this French pressing spans from 0.37 USD in Mint condition down to 0.02 USD in Poor—a steep cliff that reflects the record's negligible secondary-market value. A VG+ copy sits at 0.25 USD, while VG grades fetch 0.17 USD.
The 116 copies currently for sale at 0.2 USD (the lowest_price floor) underscore how freely this single moves; the want-to-have ratio of 2 to 575 confirms it holds no rarity premium. As a reissue on a minor French pop label rather than an original UK Parlophone pressing, it commands no collector markup.
Condition matters only marginally when the entire range spans less than 0.35 USD.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Formule 1 catalogue number 49 307 (also printed as 49.307) and the A.R.E.A.C.E.M. pressing plant credit on the cover and label. The dead wax will show either 49307 A 1 or 49307 B, both etched with the Areacem logo.
The cover bears the EA-in-circle symbol and "Made in France" text; the label repeats "Made in France." No barcode was applied. Grade by surface cleanliness and groove wear: Mint means unplayed; NM allows faint handling marks; VG+ shows light surface noise and minor play wear; VG exhibits audible surface noise and visible groove wear but plays through.
The two-track format (A and B side) is standard for this 45 RPM 7-inch single.

Frequently asked
What is this record actually worth?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 0.25 USD, and a VG copy at 0.17 USD, according to the price guide. The lowest asking price across 116 active listings is 0.2 USD. These are floor estimates; actual sales rarely exceed these figures because demand is minimal (only 2 collectors want it against 575 who own one).
How do I know I have the right pressing?
Look for the Formule 1 label and catalogue number 49 307 (or 49.307). Check the dead wax for the etched runout codes 49307 A 1 or 49307 B, both bearing the Areacem logo. The cover and label must both say "Made in France" and credit A.R.E.A.C.E.M. as the pressing plant.
Is this a rare record?
No. The want-to-have ratio is 2 to 575, meaning 575 collectors own it and only 2 are looking for it. With 116 copies currently for sale, supply is ample. This is a common French pop single from 1977 with no scarcity premium.
Why is the price so low?
Ringo's 1977 single on a minor French label holds no collector prestige. It is neither an original UK pressing nor a sought-after reissue. The breadth of copies in circulation (575 have, 116 for sale) and the absence of demand (2 want) mean the market treats it as bulk filler. Condition variations matter little when the entire grading range spans less than 0.35 USD.
Should I buy this if I find it cheap?
Only if you collect French 1970s pop or Ringo discography completists. The lowest asking price is already 0.2 USD, so there is minimal savings to be had. Resale will be difficult; the 2-to-575 want-to-have ratio indicates almost no collector interest in acquiring it.
