About this record

Pressed at the Riga Gramophone Plant in 1985, this Soviet Мелодия release carries the runout matrix С60-22699/4-2 and С60-22700/4-1, marking it as a licensed reissue of the Western Ariola catalogue rather than an original pressing. The album documents a 1983 recording, yet arrived in Soviet shops three years later under the state monopoly label, making it a Cold War-era window into how Western pop reached behind the Iron Curtain through official channels.

What drives its value

This Riga pressing sits in a narrow band: a Mint copy fetches 12.70 USD, while a VG+ specimen trades at 8.69 USD—a meaningful spread that reflects the rarity of finding Soviet-era vinyl in high condition. Currently 5 copies are listed for sale, with a floor price of 2.57 USD for heavily played stock.

Demand is modest but stable: 202 collectors own it against 36 seeking one, a ratio suggesting it is neither scarce nor widely pursued. As a licensed reissue rather than an original Western pressing, its value depends entirely on condition; the USSR pressing plant origin and Мелодия catalogue number (С60 22699 003) anchor it to a specific, limited production run that did not circulate outside Soviet borders, which constrains both supply and collector appetite.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm this pressing by the Мелодия catalogue number С60 22699 003 printed on the label and sleeve. The dead-wax runout reads С60-22699/4-2 on side one and С60-22700/4-1 on side two—these matrix strings are the forensic signature of the Рижский Завод Грампластинок (Riga Gramophone Plant).

The release notes, printed in Russian on the back cover, state the manufacturing date as 1985 and cite Ariola Group (München) as the licensor. No barcode appears; instead, a price in Soviet rubles (3.50 Руб.) is handwritten or printed on the back.

The album contains 10 tracks in the chanson-pop style. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and the label for foxing or water damage; Soviet-era pressings often show edge wear from storage in damp conditions, so check the rim for discoloration.

Frequently asked

Is this an original or a reissue?

This is a reissue, licensed from Ariola Group and manufactured in the USSR in 1985. The recording itself dates to 1983. It was never sold in the West; Мелодия held the exclusive Soviet distribution rights. The pressing plant was located in Riga (then part of the Soviet Union, now Latvia), and the runout matrix С60-22699/4-2 and С60-22700/4-1 are unique to this Riga facility.

What is a VG+ copy worth?

According to the price guide, a VG+ (Very Good Plus) copy is valued at 8.69 USD. This estimate reflects the mid-range asking price for copies in that condition; actual sales may vary, and the current floor price of 2.57 USD shows that heavily worn copies sell for far less.

Why is there no barcode?

Soviet records did not use barcodes. Instead, the price was printed or written directly on the back cover in Soviet rubles (3.50 Руб. on this copy). The catalogue number and pressing plant information served as the inventory identifier for state distribution.

What does the runout matrix tell me?

The runout strings С60-22699/4-2 and С60-22700/4-1 are stamped into the vinyl at the end of each side. These confirm the record was pressed at the Рижский Завод Грампластинок in Riga. The matrix is your proof of pressing plant and manufacturing date; any variation suggests a different pressing or a counterfeit.

How many copies are available, and is it rare?

Currently 5 copies are for sale across the market. With 202 collectors owning one and only 36 seeking it, the demand-to-supply ratio suggests this is a modest, steady-state item rather than a sought-after rarity. The Soviet-only distribution and the Riga plant's limited output mean fewer copies entered Western collections, but it is not a high-priority hunt for most collectors.
