About this record
The runout matrix 2602261YA1+D and 2602261YB1+D identify this as an EMI pressing from 1984, not a later reissue. Demand is inverted here: 318 collectors own it against only 5 who want it, a signal of weak secondary-market pull.
The lowest asking price sits at 0.66 USD across 49 active listings, yet a Mint copy commands 4.90 USD—a steep condition premium for a compilation that rarely surfaces in top grades.
What drives its value
This 1984 EMI Electrola compilation catalogue 1C 066 2602261 Y trades on condition alone. A Mint copy reaches 4.90 USD, while NM drops to 4.38 USD and VG+ to 3.35 USD; by VG the value halves to 2.32 USD.
The 49 copies currently for sale at 0.66 USD lowest price reflect bulk-lot pricing rather than collector demand. With 318 in community collections against 5 want entries, this is a held title, not hunted.
The original EMI pressing carries no premium over reissues; the release notes flag a variant (Release 11078208) with back-cover layout differences in the lower right corner, but both trade at identical price points.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the catalogue number 1C 066 2602261 Y on the spine and label. The dead-wax runout must read either 2602261YA1+D (side A) or 2602261YB1+D (side B) to confirm the original EMI plant pressing from 1984.
The barcode is present. Grade by the 13 tracks' surface condition: Mint means unplayed, NM shows no audible wear, VG+ permits light surface marks but no skip, VG allows light groove wear and faint background noise.
Check the back cover lower right corner against the release notes variant (Release 11078208); layout differences there distinguish pressings but do not affect value. The Pop Rock compilation format and EMI Electrola imprint are consistent across all known pressings.
