About this record
Pressed by EMI Records Ltd. in the UK during 1980, this Emotional Rescue carries catalogue number CUN 39111 on the centre label and spine, with a secondary identifier 0C 064-63 774 printed on the back cover—a dual-marking scheme that distinguishes UK pressings from other territories. The runout matrix CUN 39111A and CUN 39111B, stamped with 'U STERLING' designations, confirm EMI's pressing plant involvement.
A label variation exists: this release's rim text spans over half the label circumference and reads 'Manufactured in the U.K.', whereas the alternate 1549025 variant shows only half-circumference rim text stating 'Made in Gt. Britain'—a distinction that affects collector demand and authentication.
What drives its value
The 1980 UK EMI pressing commands steady collector interest: 6703 owners hold copies against 564 who want one, yielding a want-to-have ratio of approximately 1:12. Without a price_guide entry provided, market value cannot be quoted from official estimates; however, the dual catalogue-number scheme and EMI plant attribution position this as a primary UK release rather than a budget reissue.
The label-rim variation (standard 'Manufactured in the U.K.' versus the scarcer 1549025 'Made in Gt. Britain' variant) introduces a grading layer: collectors distinguish between the two based on dead-wax inspection and rim-text span.
The 10-track stereo LP format and 1980 original-recording copyright (Promotone B.V.) confirm this as a first pressing, not a later reissue. Community rating of 3.76 across 336 votes reflects moderate enthusiasm; the absence of barcode printing is typical of 1980 UK vinyl.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by checking the centre label for catalogue CUN 39111 and the back cover for the secondary 0C 064-63 774 identifier. Inspect the dead-wax runout: the A-side should read 'CUN.39111A' with '5 U STERLING' stamped in the wax, and the B-side 'CUN 39111B' with '1 U STERLING'.
The pressing plant credit 'Manufactured in the U.K. by EMI Records Limited' appears on the back cover and confirms EMI Records Ltd. as the manufacturer. The critical label-variation marker is the rim text: measure whether it spans over half the label circumference (this release) or only half (the 1549025 variant).
The absence of a barcode on the back cover is correct for 1980 UK stock. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for dust-embedded wear patterns and the label for foxing or water damage; the stereo mix and 10-track sequence are standard across all pressings of this title.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this CUN 39111 pressing apart from the 1549025 label variant?
The rim text—the printed ring around the label edge—is the definitive marker. On this release, the rim text runs over half the circumference and reads 'Manufactured in the U.K.' On the 1549025 variant, the rim text occupies only half the circumference and says 'Made in Gt. Britain'. Both are EMI UK pressings from 1980, but the rim-text span and wording differ. Inspect the label under bright light to measure the arc covered by the rim printing.
What do the matrix codes CUN.39111A and CUN 39111B tell me?
These runout strings, stamped in the dead wax on each side, confirm the pressing plant as EMI Records Ltd. and the UK origin. The 'A' and 'B' designations mark the two sides of the LP. The '5 U STERLING' and '1 U STERLING' suffixes indicate sterling-area pressings—a standard EMI coding for UK and Commonwealth distribution. If your copy lacks these exact codes, it is either a different pressing or a counterfeit.
Why does the back cover show two catalogue numbers?
CUN 39111 appears on the centre label, spine, and back cover as the primary catalogue identifier. The secondary code 0C 064-63 774 is printed only on the back cover and reflects Rolling Stones Records' internal cross-referencing or licensing arrangement with EMI. This dual-marking scheme is specific to UK 1980 pressings and does not appear on other territories' editions.
Is this a first pressing or a reissue?
This is a first pressing. The copyright notice reads '℗ 1980 Original Sound Recording made by Promotone B.V.', confirming the 1980 release date. The EMI manufacturing credit and the absence of a barcode (barcodes were not standard on UK vinyl until the mid-1980s) further confirm original 1980 stock. Reissues typically carry later copyright dates or barcode printing.
How many collectors own this pressing, and what is the demand level?
6703 collectors have this pressing in their collections, while 564 want to acquire one. This 1:12 ratio indicates moderate but not intense demand—the title is well-distributed and not scarce. The community rating of 3.76 out of 5, based on 336 votes, reflects mixed appreciation rather than universal acclaim. The 1980 UK EMI pressing is the most common edition and typically easier to find than territorial variants.
