About this record
The runout etchings on this 1976 Arista pressing (AL 4107) carry the Plastic Products plant mark 'PP STERLING', a detail that separates it from other SNL soundtrack pressings and signals a specific manufacturing window. Demand sits at 117 want against 3704 have in the collector base, a ratio that reflects its status as a novelty release with limited replay value but steady nostalgia appeal.
The 30-track comedy and stage recording captures the show's first season and includes six tracks—A4, A7, A10, A15, B7, and B11—that appear only on the sleeve, not on the record labels themselves, a quirk that complicates verification of a complete pressing.
What drives its value
Price spreads sharply by condition on this 1976 US Arista release. A Mint copy commands 33.32 USD, while NM drops to 29.81 USD, VG+ settles at 22.80 USD, and VG copies trade at 15.78 USD—a steep cliff that reflects how wear on a comedy record degrades its appeal.
The lowest asking price sits at 1.19 USD with 71 copies currently for sale, indicating soft floor demand. The 117 want against 3704 have suggests this is a common pressing that surfaces regularly; most collectors who seek it already own one.
The Plastic Products pressing plant mark 'PP STERLING' in the runout does not command a premium over other variants, as the pressing itself is not rare—only specific condition tiers hold value.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Arista catalogue number AL 4107 on the front cover and spine. The dead-wax etchings read AL 4107 SA on side A and AL 4107 SB on side B; both include the stamped plant mark 'PP STERLING' (not etched).
The label itself carries no barcode. Six tracks—A4, A7, A10, A15, B7, and B11—appear only in the sleeve notes and liner credits, never printed on the label; their presence on the vinyl is audible but undocumented on the label face, a known feature of this 1976 release.
Grade by examining the groove surface under light for embedded dust and microscratches; even light play dulls the high end on comedy records. The 30-track runtime and the specific runout matrix 'AL-4107-SA PP STERLING' and 'AL-4107-SB PP STERLING' confirm the Plastic Products pressing plant origin.

Frequently asked
What is this pressing worth in VG+ condition?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 22.80 USD according to the price guide. This represents the midpoint between Mint (33.32 USD) and VG (15.78 USD) and reflects records that show light surface wear but retain strong playback clarity.
How do I know if I have the Plastic Products pressing?
Check the dead-wax runout on both sides. The Plastic Products plant is identified by the stamped (not etched) mark 'PP STERLING' that appears after the catalogue number. Side A reads 'AL-4107-SA PP STERLING' and side B reads 'AL-4107-SB PP STERLING'.
Why are six tracks missing from the record label?
Tracks A4, A7, A10, A15, B7, and B11 appear only in the sleeve and liner notes, not on the label itself. This is a documented quirk of the 1976 Arista pressing and does not indicate a defect; the tracks are present on the vinyl and audible during playback.
What is the lowest price I should expect to pay?
The current floor price is 1.19 USD with 71 copies listed for sale. However, a playable VG copy typically trades at 15.78 USD, and NM copies command 29.81 USD, so the lowest asking price reflects heavily played or damaged stock.
Is this a rare pressing?
No. The community database shows 3704 collectors own this pressing against only 117 who want it, indicating it is common and surfaces regularly. The Plastic Products plant mark does not make it scarce; all known variants of this 1976 Arista release share similar availability.
