About this record
Stamped runouts on the 2404261-A1-C and 2404271-B1-C matrices set this European EMI pressing apart from the rest of the family tree. A French price code sits top right on the rear sleeve next to the barcode, a detail the US Capitol issue (SABB-12441) and the Venezuelan EMI pressing (EMI-25.035) do not share.
Collectors trading the 1985 double LP of Iron Maiden's Live After Death are working from one lowest-listed copy and 224 wants against 906 haves, so the figures below show where the money sits.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this pressing at 70.76 USD in Mint, 63.31 in Near Mint, 48.42 in VG+ and 33.52 in VG, so the gap between a Mint copy and a VG copy runs from 70.76 down to 33.52. Only one copy is currently listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 39.00 USD, which means the guide rests on a thin live market.
Demand is substantial: 906 collectors have this release and 224 want it, and 53 community ratings average 4.55. Among the other pressings, the 1985 European EMI issue is the earliest on the list, while the 1995 EMI United Kingdom reissue under catalogue 7243 8 35873 2 2 and the Capitol and Venezuelan issues sit as separate territories.
Because the original European copy carries the French price code and the stamped runouts, its worth depends on confirming those features rather than on the generic title.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing first by its catalogue number, 1C 2LP 162 24 0426 3, which must appear on the labels and spine. Read the dead wax on each side and match the matrix strings to the stamped runouts 2404261-A1-C, 2404261-B1-C, 2404271-A2-C and 2404271-B1-C; a copy without these stamped codes is not this release.
Check the rear sleeve top right for the French price code beside the barcode, then confirm the barcode 5099924042635 is present. Verify the two double-sided printed inner sleeves with lyrics and the booklet, since the release notes describe them as original inclusions.
Grade the discs against the 70.76, 63.31, 48.42 and 33.52 guide points by surface and sleeve condition, and only then assign the price tier.
