About this record
The runout etchings on this 2008 reissue carry Sterling pressing-plant stamps—a detail that distinguishes it from other copies and anchors its identity as a 180-gram audiophile pressing. Catalogue 88697348801 marks Epic and Legacy's restoration of The Clash's October 13, 1982 Shea Stadium performance, 16 tracks of punk, post-punk, and dub recorded live in New York and now remastered for vinyl.
What drives its value
This reissue commands a steep condition-dependent spread: Mint copies fetch 87.39 USD, while a VG+ grade drops to 59.79 USD—a meaningful gap that reflects how the 180-gram pressing's surface vulnerability affects real-world value. The lowest asking price across 14 active listings is 51.92 USD, suggesting soft demand despite 802 collectors wanting it against 4655 who already own a copy.
The 1982 concert recording itself drives collector interest, but the reissue status (not an original pressing) and the audiophile weight do not command the premium a first release would. Condition sorting matters here: even Good+ copies still hold 23.00 USD, indicating baseline collectibility across the spectrum.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the catalogue number 88697348801 on the spine and label. The dead-wax runouts read 88697348801-1 and 88697348801-2 on the two sides; look for the Sterling plant stamp (marked with ②) etched into the runout as 8869-7-34880-1A RJ STERLING ② (Side A) and 8869-7-34880-1B RJ STERLING ② (Side B).
The barcode is present on the shrinkwrap. The printed inner sleeve carries the same catalogue number (88697348801-SV) and includes track list, credits, and liner notes.
The hype sticker on shrinkwrap bears catalogue 88697348801-S1 and highlights the October 13, 1982 date, Shea Stadium venue, and the 180-gram audiophile specification. Grade by surface cleanliness and vinyl flexibility; the heavy pressing resists warping but shows groove wear and dust-trap damage more visibly than standard vinyl.

Frequently asked
How do I confirm this is the Sterling pressing and not another plant variant?
Examine the dead-wax runout closely under light. The Sterling plant is identified by the stamped (not etched) text 'RJ STERLING ②' appearing in the runout on both sides. The full runout reads 8869-7-34880-1A RJ STERLING ② for Side A and 8869-7-34880-1B RJ STERLING ② for Side B. This plant attribution is stamped, whereas the rest of the runout is etched, making it a tactile and visual marker.
What is a VG+ copy worth, and how does it compare to Mint?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 59.79 USD, while a Mint copy reaches 87.39 USD. The difference reflects the sensitivity of the 180-gram pressing to surface marks and groove wear. These are guide estimates as of the data collection date; actual market prices vary based on seller and buyer negotiation, though the current lowest asking price across 14 listings stands at 51.92 USD.
Is this a reissue or an original pressing from 1982?
This is a reissue released in 2008 by Epic and Legacy. The concert itself was recorded on October 13, 1982, at Shea Stadium, New York City, but the vinyl was not pressed until 2008. The hype sticker notes it as 'Previously Unreleased Legendary Clash Concert' and 'The Full Show Restored and Remastered,' confirming its status as a later archival release rather than a contemporary pressing.
Why does demand (802 want) seem high relative to supply (14 for sale)?
The want-to-have ratio (802 wanting against 4655 who own it) reflects the album's iconic status and the appeal of a live Shea Stadium performance. However, 14 copies currently for sale suggests the reissue is not scarce in absolute terms—it was pressed in quantity in 2008. The want figure may include collectors seeking specific conditions (Mint or NM) or those who do not own any pressing yet, rather than indicating true supply scarcity.
What does the 180-gram specification mean for this record's durability and sound?
The 180-gram weight increases the vinyl's mass and stiffness, theoretically reducing warping and improving tracking stability during playback. However, heavier vinyl is more prone to visible groove wear and dust entrapment because the stylus exerts greater force. The hype sticker markets this as an 'Audiophile Pressing,' suggesting mastering care and pressing quality, but condition grades here reflect the practical reality that 180-gram copies show surface damage more readily than standard vinyl.
