About this record

The runout stamp on this German pressing is the first thing to check: side one carries 2929 041 S1 320 3A DY and side two 2929 041 S2 320 2A DN, while the second disc is struck with 2929 042 and the plant identifier Phonodisc GmbH. Issued in Germany on Polydor and Oyster with catalogue 2675 142, this is a two-record live set from 1977 whose label and sleeve text credit Deep Purple (Over Seas) Limited, not Rainbow, the band's name on the cover.

What drives its value

Price is set by condition more than by anything else on this release. The guide runs from a Mint figure of 71.57 USD down to a VG figure of 33.90 USD, with VG+ at 48.97 USD and NM at 64.03 USD; these are guide estimates as of the date of the data.

Supply is moderate, with 117 copies listed for sale and a lowest listed price of 1 USD, which means the low end of the market is driven by copies in weaker condition. Demand is substantial: 7035 collectors have the record and 301 want it, a ratio that keeps the upper grades firm.

Because this is a German Polydor/Oyster edition with a Phonodisc GmbH plant identifier, its position among other pressings should be checked against the listed alternatives before pricing, since the country and the original-versus-reissue status both shift the comparison.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm the edition first by reading the catalogue number on the front cover, rear cover and spine, which should all read 2675 142. Then read the dead-wax matrix: side A and B should carry 2929 041 and sides C and D should carry 2929 042, with the S1/S2 and S3/S4 suffixes shown in the stamp.

The label should read Made in West Germany and carry the line Deep Purple (Over Seas) Limited. The inner sleeves should be red with band photographs, and the rear sleeve text should name Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft in Hamburg.

Grade the copy by inspecting each side under a light for surface wear, then score the sleeve separately, since the two can differ.

Frequently asked

What is a VG+ copy of this pressing worth?

The price guide gives 48.97 USD for a VG+ copy, which is an estimate as of the guide date rather than a fixed sale price.

What is a VG copy worth?

The price guide gives 33.90 USD for a VG copy, an estimate as of the guide date.

How do I confirm this is the German Polydor pressing?

Check that the catalogue number 2675 142 appears on the front, rear and spine, and that the record labels read Made in West Germany with the Deep Purple (Over Seas) Limited copyright line. The matrix should read 2929 041 and 2929 042 across the four sides.

Why does the label credit Deep Purple rather than Rainbow?

The label and rear sleeve carry the copyright line Deep Purple (Over Seas) Limited, which is recorded in the release notes, so the credit reflects the notice printed on this edition.

Are there known errors on this pressing?

Yes. Track A3c is misspelled as Sturstruck on the label, and track D1 is misspelled as Sixteen Century Greensleeves on the rear cover, and the medley timing is printed as 11:20 when it runs 12:10.
