Valuation Estimate (Based on April 2025 Historical Sales):

• Standard first UK pressing PCS 7101, VG vinyl/VG cover (no BBC provenance) typically sells for:

• £20–£40 GBP ($25–$50 USD)

• BBC Gramophone Library provenance first pressings (VG/VG).


Please understand that this is an official UK archival record from the British Broadcasting Corporation and the sleeve(s) may contain archival stickers from the BBC. Some of these stickers are 'on top' of the plastic with some 'underneath' (i.e. on the sleeve itself). Some sleeves have been 'laminated' either by way of 'punching' the plastic wallet to two parts of the sleeve or by fully wrapping the plastic to the sleeve. Where sleeves are laminated stickers can be removed with the use of appropriate sticker removal fluids however it is unlikely that stickers can be removed from any sleeves that are not laminated. The sleeves as such in this collection are generally graded as VG with the records often VG+ to Ex+.
