About this record

The 2015 European reissue of Legend carries the MPO pressing plant stamp in its dead wax — a marker that distinguishes it from the earlier 2014 editions pressed for the US market and the 2003 remaster. With 146 copies currently for sale and a price floor of 1.7 USD, this pressing sits at the lower end of the reissue cycle, yet Mint copies command 43.95 USD, reflecting the wide condition-dependent spread that defines this title's market.

What drives its value

The 2015 MPO pressing trades on condition more than rarity. A Mint copy reaches 43.95 USD, while a Near Mint drops to 39.32 USD and a VG+ settles at 30.07 USD — a steep fall that underscores how wear impacts value on this widely held compilation.

The VG price of 20.82 USD marks the threshold below which demand softens sharply. With 28761 collectors holding a copy against 2060 who want one, this is a deep-catalog title: supply far outpaces active demand, which keeps even clean examples modest in price.

The 2015 European pressing sits between the 2014 US and European variants, making it neither the original 1984 Island release nor the most recent reissue, positioning it as a mid-cycle reprint for collectors upgrading worn copies rather than a chase variant.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm this pressing by the barcode 0600753030523 printed on the back cover and disc label, paired with the catalogue number matching across all three labels (Tuff Gong, Island Records, and Universal Music Group International). Examine the dead wax on both sides: the runout should read MPO 0600753030523 A2 -LVC- on side A and MPO 0600753030523 B2 -LVC- on side B, identifying the MPO pressing plant.

The 2015 date and European market designation appear in fine print on the back cover. Grade by surface cleanliness and groove wear: Mint assumes unplayed condition with no marks; Near Mint allows light handling marks invisible at normal playing distance; VG+ shows light surface dust but no audible crackle during quiet passages; VG exhibits noticeable surface noise during soft sections but remains musically enjoyable.

The 14-track sequence is identical across all Legend pressings, so tracklist alone does not distinguish this variant.

Frequently asked

How do I tell this 2015 MPO pressing apart from the 2014 European Island pressing?

Check the dead wax first. This 2015 version reads MPO 0600753030523 A2 -LVC- and B2 -LVC-, stamped by the MPO plant. The 2014 European pressing (catalogue 060253785436) will show a different plant code in the runout. The barcode 0600753030523 is shared, so verify the matrix string as the primary differentiator.

What is a VG+ copy of this pressing worth?

According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 30.07 USD. This represents an estimate as of the guide date and reflects light surface dust and minimal groove wear. Actual market sales may vary, and 146 copies currently listed suggest room for negotiation below guide on lower-condition stock.

Why is there such a big jump in price from VG to VG+?

The VG grade is priced at 20.82 USD while VG+ reaches 30.07 USD. This gap reflects collector preference for cleaner playing copies: VG introduces audible surface noise on quiet tracks, whereas VG+ remains sonically transparent. On a compilation of ballads and roots reggae, where vocal clarity matters, collectors pay a premium to avoid crackle.

Is the 2015 pressing rarer than the 1984 original?

No. The 1984 Island pressing (UK catalogue BMW 1 or European catalogue 206 285) is the original release and typically commands higher prices among serious collectors. The 2015 MPO reissue is a late-cycle reprint: 28761 collectors own one, indicating it was pressed in large volume. The 2015 is better suited for listeners seeking a clean, affordable copy than for collectors pursuing the first pressing.

What does the lowest price of 1.7 USD mean for this record?

The lowest price reflects a Poor or Fair grade copy — likely heavily played, with significant surface noise and possible skips. At 1.7 USD, you are buying the title and the label for novelty or parts value, not for playback. A listenable copy in VG grade costs 20.82 USD according to the guide, a gap that shows how condition dominates value on this mass-market reissue.
