About this record

Read the dead wax first: the matrix runouts 1333631-A1-C, 1333631-B1-C and 1333631-A2-C all carry the EMI Electrola GmbH plant mark, which places this Austrian EAV album on the German plant's stampers. The release notes flag it as a First Pressing with a printed inner sleeve carrying the lyrics, and the label credits read EMI Columbia Austria Ges.m.b.H. with the line Made in EEC.

Demand is steady: 3410 collectors have it in their collection against 92 who want it.

What drives its value

The price guide for this copy runs from 27.29 USD at Mint down to 12.93 USD at VG, with NM at 24.42 and VG+ at 18.68 in the guide. The lowest current listing is 1.95 USD, and 122 copies are for sale, so the cheapest copies in circulation sit far below the guide, which is a strong sign that grade and sleeve completeness set the real price.

Among the other pressings recorded for this title, the value question comes down to whether a copy is this first Austrian EMI Columbia issue with the printed inner, since that origin and inner sleeve are what separate it from later issues. Buyers should weigh the 3410 owners against the 92 wanters: the guide figures are estimates as of the guide date, and actual sales will follow the grade the seller can prove.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm the pressing by reading the runouts. The three matrix strings 1333631-A1-C, 1333631-B1-C and 1333631-A2-C should be stamped in the dead wax, and the catalogue numbers 13 33631 and 12C 066-13 33631 should match the label and back cover.

The 12C 066-1333631 and 12C 266-1333634 codes printed on the back cover should appear alongside the EMI trade mark line dated 1985. Check the EMI Electrola GmbH plant mark in the run-out groove, and look for the printed inner sleeve with lyrics that the release notes describe.

The record has no barcode, so do not rely on one. Grade the vinyl by eye under good light and the sleeve separately, because the 27.29 USD Mint and 12.93 USD VG guide figures differ by grade alone.

Frequently asked

What is a VG+ copy of Geld Oder Leben! worth?

The price guide lists a VG+ value of 18.68 USD for this EAV pressing, which is an estimate as of the guide date and not a guaranteed sale price.

What is a Mint copy worth?

The guide gives 27.29 USD for an M grade copy, while NM is listed at 24.42 USD, both estimates as of the guide date.

How do I confirm this is the EMI Electrola GmbH pressing?

Check the dead wax for the matrix runouts 1333631-A1-C, 1333631-B1-C and 1333631-A2-C and the EMI Electrola GmbH plant mark, then compare them with the catalogue numbers 13 33631 and 12C 066-13 33631.

Does the sleeve matter for value?

Yes: the release notes single out the printed inner sleeve with lyrics as part of the First Pressing, so a copy missing that inner loses the feature that identifies the edition.

Why is the lowest price so far below the guide?

The lowest listing is 1.95 USD across 122 copies for sale, far below the 12.93 USD VG guide figure, which suggests that grade and completeness drive most of the real price spread.
