About this record
Stamped on the cover rear is an embossed PRS Hannover mark, and that plant stamp is the first thing to check on this Super Trouper. The inner sleeve carries the lyrics, and the matrix strings in the dead wax identify this as a West German pressing on Polydor catalogue 2344 162, not the Swedish original.
Polar Music International AB holds the 1980 copyright, and the album was recorded and mixed at Polar Music Studios in Stockholm.
What drives its value
Price follows condition closely on this pressing. The price guide runs from 1.36 for a P copy to 25.79 for an M copy, with a VG+ copy at 17.65 and a VG copy at 12.22.
At the time of the guide, 104 copies were listed for sale, and the lowest asking price was 1.07. Demand is steady rather than scarce: 6082 community members have the record and 303 want it, which keeps the market fed.
The 1980 Polar Swedish original (POLS 322) and the Greek Pan-Vox edition (also POLS 322) sit among the other pressings, while the West German Polydor issue is the one with the embossed PRS Hannover stamp. Among these, a Mint Germany copy is the reference point for value.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the label, catalogue number 2344 162, and the dead-wax matrix. The matrix strings on this copy include 2344 162 S1=2 320 3 IC, 2344 162 S2=2 320 HW A, 2344 162 S 1 320 R B 1·33, and 2344 162 S 2 = 2 320 4 0 C.
The side-two runouts end with a letter and 0 C, which is the detail to compare against a second copy. Look at the cover rear for the embossed PRS Hannover stamp and the printing credit: Variant 5 reads Printed in West Germany by Gerhard Kaiser GmbH, Essen, and Variant 6 reads Printed in West Germany.
Check that the record shows Made in West Germany on the label area. Grade the vinyl on the Polydor label and both sides, and check the endless applause loop that ends side B.
Grade the inner sleeve separately, since the lyrics are printed there.
