About this record
Pressed at PRS Hannover in 1979, this Polydor compilation (catalogue 2664 231) condenses 56 sea shanties and folk pieces into just 2 tracks—one per side, each a continuous potpourri. The matrix runout 2437 680 S 1 320 1 E (side 1) and 2437 681 S 1 320 1 E (side 2) confirm the pressing plant and original German manufacture.
Only 8 copies are currently listed for sale, while 28 collectors own one against 5 actively seeking it.
What drives its value
This West German pressing trades on condition more than rarity. A Mint copy reaches 23.55 USD, while NM sits at 21.07 USD; the drop to VG+ is 16.11 USD, and VG falls to 11.15 USD—a steep slide that reflects how wear on a 56-track compilation affects playability across both sides.
The lowest asking price of 1.72 USD signals heavy stock at lower grades. The have-to-want ratio (28 to 5) shows modest collector interest; this is neither scarce nor in high demand.
Its value lies in condition preservation rather than scarcity—a clean copy commands a premium, but damaged stock floods the market at basement prices.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the Polydor label and catalogue number 2664 231 on the cover and label. The gatefold sleeve is a key identifier.
Check the dead-wax matrix on side 1: it should read 2437 680 S 1 320 1 E, and side 2 should show 2437 681 S 1 320 1 E (or the variant 2437 680 S 2 320 1 D and 2437 681 S 2 320 1 E on later pressings from the same plant). The label must state 'Made in West Germany.' Grade by the condition of both the gatefold and vinyl; since each side is a single long track, even light surface noise will be audible throughout play.
No barcode appears on original pressings.

Frequently asked
What is this record worth in VG+ condition?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 16.11 USD. This represents the sweet spot for collectors seeking playable copies without paying Mint prices; the jump from VG (11.15 USD) to VG+ (16.11 USD) reflects the audible difference in a 56-track compilation where surface noise compounds across both sides.
How do I confirm this is the original 1979 Hannover pressing?
Check the dead-wax runout on both sides. Side 1 should read 2437 680 S 1 320 1 E, and side 2 should read 2437 681 S 1 320 1 E. The label must say 'Made in West Germany' and carry Polydor catalogue 2664 231. These details confirm PRS Hannover as the pressing plant and rule out later reissues.
Why is there such a big price drop from Mint to VG?
A Mint copy is 23.55 USD, but VG falls to 11.15 USD. With 56 tracks compressed into 2 long sides, even minor groove wear becomes noticeable during playback. Collectors of compilations prioritize cleaner copies to avoid repeated surface noise, so condition damage hits resale value harder than on shorter albums.
Is this record rare or hard to find?
No. Only 8 copies are for sale across the market, but 28 collectors already own one. The want-to-have ratio is 5 to 28, indicating low demand relative to supply. This is a common pressing that surfaces regularly; its low floor price (1.72 USD) confirms it is not scarce.
What does 'one physical track per side (Potpourri)' mean?
Despite 56 individual songs in the track listing, each side of the vinyl is pressed as a single continuous medley without breaks between pieces. This means the needle never lifts during playback of either side, and any skip or damage affects multiple songs at once rather than isolating a single track.
