About this record
The runout etchings on this 1982 Elektra pressing reveal a dual-plant history: Specialty Records Corporation stamped "SP EAST" around the spindle hole, while Sterling cut the lacquer, creating a hybrid pressing that differs from single-source copies. Recorded live at Reggae Sunsplash '81 in Montego Bay, this 16-track tribute to Bob Marley carries catalogue E1-60035, though the sleeve spine reads E1-60035 G, a labeling quirk that affects authentication.
What drives its value
The price spread on this US pressing runs from 25.69 USD for a Mint copy down to 1.35 USD in Poor condition, with the critical VG+ threshold at 17.58 USD and VG at 12.17 USD. Currently 17 copies are listed for sale, the lowest at 5.94 USD, indicating a soft market relative to guide values.
Community ownership stands at 1018 have against 59 want, a ratio that reflects modest collector demand for a multi-artist live compilation. The dual pressing-plant attribution (Specialty Records and Elektra/Asylum/Nonesuch) does not appear to create a premium tier; value hinges on condition rather than plant provenance.
Reissues and original 1982 Elektra pressings trade in the same range, making this a commodity-priced reggae title rather than a hunt piece.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number E1-60035 printed on the label and E1-60035 G on the sleeve spine and back cover. Examine the runout etchings on both sides: Side A and D share Disc 1, while Side B and C occupy Disc 2.
Look for "SP EAST" stamped around the spindle hole (Specialty Records Corporation pressing plant) and a star etched in the runout along with "Sterling" stamped, indicating Sterling Sound as the lacquer cutter. The absence of a barcode is correct for this 1982 US release.
Grade by surface cleanliness and groove wear: a VG+ copy shows light play marks and minor dust but plays through without pops; VG copies exhibit audible surface noise and light scratches; anything below VG+ will show visible wear or tracking distortion. The two-disc layout (16 tracks total) and "Original Soundtrack Album" designation on the label confirm the live Reggae Sunsplash '81 recording.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between the E1-60035 and E1-60035 G catalogue numbers?
The label prints E1-60035, but the sleeve spine and back cover read E1-60035 G. This is a labeling inconsistency on the original 1982 Elektra pressing, not an indicator of two separate releases. Both refer to the same album; the G suffix on the sleeve may denote a graphic or packaging variant. Verify authenticity by checking that both numbers appear in their correct locations.
What does the SP EAST and Sterling marking in the runout mean?
SP EAST stamped around the spindle hole identifies Specialty Records Corporation as the pressing plant. Sterling stamped in the runout indicates Sterling Sound cut the lacquer master. This combination marks a hybrid production: the physical pressing came from Specialty, but the audio master was prepared at Sterling. Not all copies of this title carry both marks; their presence confirms a specific pressing variant.
What is a VG+ copy worth on the current market?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 17.58 USD. However, the lowest asking price among 17 active listings is 5.94 USD, indicating that actual market prices lag significantly behind guide estimates. Buyers should expect to negotiate or find deals well below the VG+ guide value.
How many collectors own this album versus want it?
The community database shows 1018 collectors have this album and 59 want it. This 17-to-1 ratio indicates low scarcity and modest collector enthusiasm. The title is common enough that finding a copy is straightforward, but demand is not strong enough to support premium pricing.
Is there a significant price difference between Mint and VG condition?
Yes. A Mint copy is priced at 25.69 USD, while a VG copy is valued at 12.17 USD. The jump from VG to NM is 22.99 USD, and NM to M is 25.69 USD. Condition matters substantially on this title, but even a Mint copy remains modestly priced, reflecting its status as a reissue-friendly live compilation rather than a collectible original pressing.
