This is a 1984 US pressing of K-tel's Breakdance, catalogue number NU 3360, pressed by Monarch Record Mfg. Co. in Los Angeles. K-tel gave each of its US pressing plants a two-digit code. The deadwax on this copy carries 11, Monarch's code, next to Monarch's MR mark and the delta number 26444.

A single black LP. The lacquers were cut at Trutone Mastering Labs, and Trutone's circled TR appears on both sides beside the stamp PA 4-84. The runouts read:

  • Side A: PNU-3360-A [Circled TR] PA 4-84 #11 MΔ26444
  • Side B: NU-3360-B-1 [Circled TR] PA 4-84 #11 MRΔ26444X

This is an original pressing: the K-tel label and catalogue number NU 3360, pressed in 1984, the year the album came out. Other US plants pressed the same catalogue number that year, among them Columbia's Pitman plant and PRC in Richmond, Indiana. The plant code is what tells one run from another.

K-tel's Breakdance pairs a side of electro and hip hop records, titled Music For Breaking, with a side of break music and instructional raps by Alex & The City Crew.
