About this record
The runout matrix on this 1984 French pressing carries the Polygram Industries Messageries plant stamp—a detail that separates it from other pressings of the same catalogue number 824 045-1. The dead-wax inscription also notes mastering by both Master One (on the rear cover) and Translab (in the matrix itself), a dual attribution unusual for Hallyday's live Zénith recording.
With 502 collectors owning a copy against only 17 seeking one, supply far outpaces demand in the secondary market.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire price structure on this French Philips pressing. A Mint copy commands 30.69 USD, while a VG+ example drops to 21.00 USD—a meaningful gap that reflects the sensitivity of live recordings to surface wear.
The lowest asking price across 28 active listings sits at 3.95 USD, indicating that heavily played or damaged copies circulate freely. The community snapshot (502 have, 17 want) confirms this is not a scarce title; the real value lies in finding an unplayed or lightly played specimen.
Original 1984 French pressings on Philips carry modest collector premium over later reissues, but only when graded VG+ or higher.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 824 045-1 stamped on the spine and label. The dead-wax runout will read one of four variants: either 001 8240461 A or B (side one), or 001 8240471 A or B (side two), all bearing the Polygram Industries Messageries plant identifier.
The rear cover states mastering by Master One; the matrix notes Translab as the mastering engineer, marked by the special character Ꚍ. The label features the iconic white fist on red heart with "Johnny" in red—the Poing Blanc Cœur Rouge design.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under strong light; even light hairline scratches will drop a Mint copy into NM territory. The 20-track live set spans the full album, so verify all tracks play without skips or distortion before grading above VG.

Frequently asked
How do I know this is the original 1984 pressing and not a reissue?
Check the dead-wax runout for the Polygram Industries Messageries plant code. The catalogue number 824 045-1 and the copyright year 1984 (marked as Ⓟ 1984 on the label) confirm the original French release. Reissues typically carry different pressing plant identifiers or later copyright years in the runout.
What is a VG+ copy worth on the current market?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 21.00 USD. This represents the sweet spot for collectors seeking playable condition without paying Mint prices; however, these figures are estimates and actual sales may vary.
Why is there such a big jump from VG+ at 21.00 USD to Mint at 30.69 USD?
Live recordings pressed in 1984 are prone to surface noise and light scratches from manufacturing and handling. The jump reflects how sensitive buyers are to audible defects on a live album; even minor visible wear can introduce ticks or pops that ruin the listening experience. A truly Mint copy—unplayed and stored perfectly—commands a premium because so few survive in that state.
Is this record rare or easy to find?
It is not rare. The community data shows 502 collectors own a copy while only 17 are actively seeking one. At any given moment, 28 copies are listed for sale. This abundance means patient buyers can wait for a better-graded example rather than settle for the lowest 3.95 USD asking price.
What does the price code PG 255 on the label mean?
The price code PG 255 was the original French retail price printed on the label. It does not affect the secondary market value today but confirms this is an authentic 1984 French pressing rather than a later reissue, which would carry a different or no price code.
