About this record
Shelley Products pressed this 1983 RCA single (PB-13656) in styrene, marking it as a US market 45 RPM release rather than an import variant. The runout matrix PB-13656-A and PB1-3656-A-1 confirm the plant and pressing sequence.
With 22 copies currently for sale and a lowest asking price of 1.42 USD, this novelty rap-disco crossover sits at the bottom of the 7-inch market, yet 445 collectors own it against 47 who actively want one.
What drives its value
Condition drives nearly all value on this Rodney Dangerfield novelty single. A Mint copy commands 5.46 USD, while NM drops to 4.89 USD and VG+ settles at 3.74 USD; by VG grade the price falls to 2.59 USD.
The gap from M to VG reflects how quickly styrene 45s from the early 1980s show wear in play. At 1.42 USD, the current lowest asking price sits below even Poor grade (0.29 USD), suggesting either aggressive discounting or a heavily damaged copy.
The 22 copies in active sale indicate soft demand despite 445 community owners; the 47-to-445 want-to-have ratio (roughly 1 in 9) is typical for novelty records that appeal to niche collectors rather than hip-hop or electronic music buyers seeking serious pressings.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the RCA catalogue number PB-13656 printed on the label. The dead-wax runout will read either PB-13656-A (Side A) or PB-13656-B (Side B) on original pressings, or PB1-3656-A-1 and PB1-3656-B-1 on later variants—both sequences indicate Shelley Products manufacture.
The styrene compound and 7-inch 45 RPM format are standard for 1983 US singles; no barcode appears on this release. Grade by visual inspection of the vinyl surface (styrene is prone to hairline scratches and cloudiness), label condition (RCA labels from this era show foxing), and play-test for crackle or skips.
A Mint example will show no visible wear under light; VG+ allows light surface marks that do not affect play; VG permits light scratches and minor label wear.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number and pressing plant for this single?
RCA catalogue number PB-13656, pressed by Shelley Products in the US in 1983. The dead-wax matrix PB-13656-A or PB-13656-B (and later variants PB1-3656-A-1 or PB1-3656-B-1) confirms the plant and pressing generation.
What is a VG+ copy worth according to the price guide?
The price guide values a VG+ copy at 3.74 USD. This represents an estimate as of the guide's publication date; actual sales may vary, and the current lowest asking price of 1.42 USD suggests the market is softer than the guide.
How many copies are currently for sale, and what does that tell me about availability?
22 copies are listed for sale across the market. For a novelty single from 1983 with 445 community owners, this supply level is moderate; the low turnover suggests casual interest rather than active collector demand.
What is the price spread from Mint to VG condition?
A Mint copy is priced at 5.46 USD, while a VG copy is valued at 2.59 USD. The difference reflects how quickly styrene 45s from this era degrade under play and storage, making condition the primary value driver.
Is this a reissue or an original 1983 pressing?
The matrix runout variants (PB-13656-A/B versus PB1-3656-A-1/B-1) suggest both original and later pressings exist from Shelley Products. Inspect the dead-wax to distinguish; the PB1- prefix typically indicates a reissue or repress run.
