About this record
The runout tells the story first: the matrix 01-85555-1A-1 H1 and its B-side sibling carry a 'H1' tag that points to the CBS plant in Haarlem, Holland, even though the sleeve reads Germany. Release notes say the sleeve was printed in Holland with a 'Made in Holland' credit, so a German-market LP can be a Dutch-pressed copy.
Spliff's 1982 debut, catalogued CBS 85 555, rewards this kind of close reading before any grading begins.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this pressing at 27.30 USD in Mint, 24.43 USD in Near Mint, 18.68 USD in VG+ and 12.93 USD in VG, so condition moves the figure by a wide margin, from 12.93 USD up to 27.30 USD across the VG to Mint range. The lowest current listing is 1.00 USD, and 244 copies are for sale, which means many sellers are pricing well below the guide.
Community data shows 7556 owners against 304 wanting a copy, a 3.99 average rating from 617 votes, so demand is steady rather than scarce. The release-notes variants matter: the first-pressing cover with embossed metallic letters is the version that commands the upper part of the guide, while the embossed non-metallic Dutch-printed cover sits lower.
Price estimates are from the price guide and should be checked against the current date.
How to appraise this pressing
Start with the label: a CBS 85 555 catalogue number on the spine and labels, with the cover's embossed lettering telling you which variant you hold. Next, read the dead wax.
Genuine copies show 01-85555-1A-1 H1 and 01-85555-1B-1 H1 on the sides, with the A-side variant also reading 01-85555-1A-1 A H1 and 01-85555-1B-1 A H1. The 'H1' suffix is the Haarlem plant code, so a German-market jacket paired with a Haarlem stamp is consistent.
Compare the printed innersleeve text, which names Spliff, Edition Spliff/April Musikverlag and Fabrik Rakete in Berlin, and the rear credit reading 'Printed in Germany' versus 'Made in Holland'. Grade the vinyl and sleeve separately, using the Mint through VG scale in the price guide.
