About this record
The runout matrix on this Netherlands pressing carries the EMI plant stamp 062-26450-A or -B, with secondary codes (--42995-2Y or --42996-1Y) that distinguish it from later reissues. Rob de Nijs's 1980 pop-rock album was recorded at EMI's Heemstede studio and mixed in London, then pressed domestically for the Dutch market.
The catalogue number 1A 062-26450 locks this to the original EMI pressing; no barcode was printed on the sleeve.
What drives its value
This pressing sits in a crowded secondary market: 106 copies are currently for sale, with the lowest asking price at 1.03 USD, indicating heavy supply and soft demand. The price guide spans from 18.41 USD (Mint) down to 0.97 USD (Poor), a steep cliff that reflects the title's modest collectibility.
A VG+ copy estimates at 12.60 USD, while a VG plays for 8.72 USD—a meaningful gap that rewards careful grading. The community has 2014 owners against only 29 who want one, a ratio that underscores this as a common domestic pressing rather than a sought variant.
Original EMI Netherlands pressings command no premium over reissues; condition and availability drive all pricing here.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by the catalogue number 1A 062-26450 on the front cover and label. The dead-wax runout will read 062-26450-A or 062-26450-B on side one and two respectively, often followed by the secondary plant codes --42995-2Y (side A) or --42996-1Y (side B).
The label itself will carry the EMI logo and the copyright notice ℗ 1979 (label) and ℗ & © 1980 (sleeve). The absence of a barcode confirms the original 1980 pressing.
Grade by vinyl surface clarity and label condition; scratches and hairlines are common on played copies and will drop value sharply from VG+ (12.60 USD) into VG territory (8.72 USD). Check that all 12 tracks are present and the gatefold or jacket is intact.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this 1980 EMI pressing from a later reissue?
Check the runout matrix in the dead wax at the end of each side. This pressing reads 062-26450-A and 062-26450-B, sometimes with the secondary codes --42995-2Y and --42996-1Y appended. Later reissues will carry different plant codes or catalogue variants. The absence of a barcode on the sleeve is also a marker of the original 1980 pressing.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
The price guide estimates a VG+ copy at 12.60 USD. This reflects a record with light play and minimal surface wear but no audible distortion. The gap between VG+ (12.60 USD) and VG (8.72 USD) is significant, so accurate grading matters when buying or selling.
Why is there such a wide price spread from Mint to Poor?
Mint copies (18.41 USD) command a premium because they are unplayed and retain original gloss and label printing. Each step down—NM at 16.47 USD, VG+ at 12.60 USD, VG at 8.72 USD—reflects accumulated wear. Poor copies (0.97 USD) are often played-out or damaged, and the lowest asking price of 1.03 USD shows that many sellers are simply clearing stock rather than chasing retail value.
Is this a rare or common pressing?
This is a common pressing. The community database shows 2014 collectors who own it against only 29 who want one, and 106 copies are currently for sale. It was a domestic Netherlands release on a major label (EMI) and saw normal distribution, so it appears regularly in the used market.
Where was this album recorded and mixed?
The release notes confirm it was recorded at EMI Studios in Heemstede, Netherlands, and mixed at Air Studios in London. The album was manufactured and distributed by EMI under the Bovema Negram recording banner, giving it a professional studio pedigree despite its modest resale value today.
