About this record
This Mexican CD reissue of Flashdance carries the Sonopress (H) matrix stamp SONOPRESS (H) W.O. 18448-1 CDEPR1040 in the dead wax, marking it as a PolyGram Discos, S.A.
De C.V. pressing rather than the original 1983 Casablanca issue. The catalogue CDEPR 1040 / 811 492 2 appears on both spine and label, with track titles printed in Spanish—a regional variant that narrows its appeal outside Latin American collectors.
Demand far outpaces supply: 40 want it against only 17 who have it, yet just 4 copies circulate at the lowest asking price of 0.73 USD.
What drives its value
The price ladder for this Mexican reissue spans from 25.69 USD in Mint condition down to 0.73 USD at the lowest current ask, with the VG+ grade sitting at 17.58 USD and VG at 12.17 USD. The wide condition-based spread reflects the typical CD market, where wear to the jewel case and booklet can sharply reduce value even if the disc itself plays cleanly.
At only 4 copies for sale, liquidity is thin; the 40-to-17 want-to-have ratio signals collector interest that outstrips inventory. As a reissue rather than an original 1983 pressing, and pressed for the Mexican market with Spanish-language track titles, this edition occupies a niche below the original Casablanca release.
Its value derives almost entirely from completeness of the package and disc condition—any jewel-case damage or missing booklet material will push it toward the lower end of the guide.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number CDEPR 1040 / 811 492 2 printed on both the spine and the disc label. The dead-wax matrix SONOPRESS (H) W.O.
18448-1 CDEPR1040 is the definitive identifier: it proves manufacture by Sonopress (H) under PolyGram Discos, S.A. De C.V. in Mexico.
The barcode is present. Inspect the jewel case for cracks, hinge stress, and discoloration; Mexican pressings from this era are prone to case yellowing.
Check that the booklet is complete and that all track titles appear in Spanish—this is not a printing error but a defining feature of the Mexican release. The disc itself should be examined for hairline scratches in the polycarbonate and any delamination at the edges.
Grade the case condition separately from the disc: a Mint rating requires both the disc and case to be flawless, while VG+ allows minor handling marks on the case and light surface marks on the disc that do not affect playback.

Frequently asked
Is this the original 1983 Flashdance soundtrack or a reissue?
This is a reissue pressed in Mexico for the PolyGram Discos, S.A. De C.V. market. The original 1983 Casablanca release was manufactured in different plants and does not carry the Sonopress (H) matrix. The release notes confirm copyright 1983 Paramount Pictures and (p) 1983 PolyGram Records, but the actual CD pressing date is later. The Spanish-language track titles are a regional variant specific to this Mexican edition.
What is a VG+ copy of this Mexican CD worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 17.58 USD. This estimate reflects the condition where the disc shows light play wear and the jewel case may have minor creasing or edge stress, but the booklet is intact and all components are present. Prices fluctuate based on actual sales, and the lowest current asking price across all grades is 0.73 USD, indicating soft market demand at the bottom end.
Why are there only 4 copies for sale when 40 collectors want it?
The 40-to-17 want-to-have ratio reflects strong collector interest in the Flashdance soundtrack, but this Mexican reissue is a regional pressing with limited distribution history. Spanish-language track titles further restrict its appeal to a narrower buyer base. Low inventory combined with niche appeal creates the gap between demand and supply.
How do I verify the pressing plant and matrix code?
Open the jewel case and examine the underside of the disc. The dead-wax matrix reads SONOPRESS (H) W.O. 18448-1 CDEPR1040. The 'SONOPRESS (H)' designation confirms manufacture by Sonopress (H), a PolyGram subsidiary. Cross-check the catalogue number CDEPR 1040 / 811 492 2 on both the spine and the label ring on the disc. If these match exactly, you have the correct Mexican pressing.
What is the condition spread from Mint to Good?
A Mint copy is priced at 25.69 USD, while a Good-graded copy is 4.06 USD. The VG grade falls at 12.17 USD, representing the midpoint where light to moderate play wear is visible. For CDs, condition is driven by jewel-case integrity, booklet completeness, and disc surface marks; even minor cracks in the case or missing inserts drop value significantly.
