About this record
Matrix JCP and the dead-wax string M9 351239 2 240429 I A 21 tie this copy to the Pathé Marconi plant at Chatou, not to a generic Capitol pressing. The French sleeve states it plainly: Fabrication et distribution exclusive Pathé Marconi S.A., with Imprimé en France printed on the back.
Catalogue number 2404291 sits on a Capitol Records label that was pressed in France and sold through the French market. The record carries 10 tracks and printed lyrics with a photo inner sleeve, details that separate it from the other listed edition.
What drives its value
The price guide puts an M copy at 37.55 USD, an NM copy at 33.60, a VG+ copy at 25.69 and a VG copy at 17.79, so the market runs from 37.55 down to 17.79 across the grades that matter for this pressing. The lowest current listing is 20 USD, and 10 copies are for sale, which is a modest supply.
Demand is measurable: 1290 community members have the release and 137 want it, a ratio that keeps prices from sliding while the supply stays thin. The other listed pressing is a 1985 European issue on Capitol Records with catalogue number 1A 064-24 0429 1, so this French Pathé Marconi edition is the one tied to its national manufacturing and distribution.
Those figures are estimates from the price guide, not sale results.
How to appraise this pressing
Start with the label and catalogue number. The disc should read Capitol Records with catalogue number 2404291 in the trail-off area and on the spine.
Next, check the dead wax against the stamped matrix strings M9 351239 2 240429 I A 21 on side one and M9 351240 2 240429 I B 21 on side two, plus the JCP mark. A copy stamped with these strings and the Pathé Marconi plant credit is the French pressing.
Confirm the barcode presence and the printed credit lines on the back of the sleeve, including the copyright lines and Imprimé en France. Grade the disc under light, looking for play wear across the grooves and sleeve seams, then assign a grade that matches the price_guide tiers from M down to VG.
