About this record
Stamped on the back sleeve, a non-ink PRS Hannover mark separates this German Polydor pressing from the other copy the release notes name, so the sleeve is the first place to look. The runouts are stamped by hand and some trailing characters lie sideways, which means the matrix strings are the second check.
Pressed in 1979 on Polydor with catalogue number 2344 145, this 14-track compilation carries a matrix that begins 2344 145 S 1 320 on one side and 2344 145 S 2=2 320 on the other.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this pressing from 52.33 USD at VG up to 110.48 USD at Mint, with 75.59 USD as the VG+ estimate and 98.85 USD at NM. The lowest current listing is 5.36 USD, and 46 copies are for sale, so the cheapest copies are usually the ones with worn sleeves or heavy wear rather than the market value of a clean example.
Demand is substantial: 2094 community members have the record and 132 want it, which keeps the grade ladder active. Its position among the other pressings matters.
The UK Epic EPC 10017 and the US Atlantic SD 16009, both also from 1979, are different releases from different countries, so a German Polydor copy should not be priced against them. The German pressing is the one that carries the PRS Hannover plant stamp.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the label and catalogue number first: the Polydor label should read 2344 145, and the spine and centre label should match. Next, check the sleeve's back for the non-ink PRS Hannover stamp.
For the matrix, look in the dead wax for the stamped runout 2344 145 S 1 320 on side one and 2344 145 S 2=2 320 on side two; the records also show two further variants, one reading 2344 145 S 1 320 A H 1 3 .3 and the other 2344 145 S 2=2 320 X 1 2 4 A, with some characters struck through. Because the runouts are stamped and some trailing characters run sideways, read them under a light at an angle rather than straight on.
Note that some copies carry a silver hype sticker reading Including The Hit-Single: Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A Man After Midnight), so a sticker alone does not confirm the pressing. Grade the vinyl and the gatefold sleeve separately, since the sleeve has a printed inner sleeve that should be checked for wear.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of this pressing worth?
The price guide lists 75.59 USD for a VG+ copy. This is an estimate taken from the guide, not a guaranteed sale price, and actual prices move with the market.
How do I tell this German pressing apart from the other copies?
Check for the non-ink PRS Hannover stamp on the back sleeve, which the release notes say this copy has and the other pressing does not. Then confirm the stamped runout 2344 145 S 1 320 on side one and 2344 145 S 2=2 320 on side two.
What is a Mint copy worth?
The price guide lists 110.48 USD for Mint and 98.85 USD for Near Mint. These are guide estimates, and the record's rating of 4.04 from 141 votes does not change them.
Does every copy have the Gimme, Gimme, Gimme hype sticker?
No. The release notes say only some copies have the silver hype sticker reading Including The Hit-Single: Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A Man After Midnight), so its absence is not a sign of a different pressing.
Is the lowest listed price a fair guide to value?
Not on its own. The lowest current listing is 5.36 USD across 46 copies for sale, and these are typically lower-grade copies, so the grade-based guide figures are the better reference for value.
