About this record
Look at the dead wax before anything else: this German pressing carries matrix strings in the form 92. 3743-A through 92.
3743-D, and the release notes flag that the back cover reads 92.3743-1 while the labels read 92. 3743-1, a small catalogue-number discrepancy that is a useful first identifier.
The notes also record that the initial German version came on the WB cream label with lines, with the same cover used for the French and Dutch versions, which sets it apart from the later repress. The record was manufactured in Germany by Record Service GmbH, Alsdorf, with Direct Metal Mastering noted in the runout.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this pressing from 17.44 USD in VG up to 36.83 USD in Mint, with 25.20 USD for VG+ and 32.95 USD for NM, so condition is the main driver of value across the grading scale. At the time of the guide, 157 copies were listed for sale, and the lowest listed price was 1 USD, which shows how widely asking prices vary between sellers.
Demand is substantial: 4839 collectors have this release in their collection and 70 want it, a have-to-want ratio that suggests supply is more available than demand. Its position among the other pressings matters: the initial German cream-label version with lines is the earlier issue, while the later repress with shield labels is a different and separately valued edition, so identifying which one you hold directly affects what a buyer will pay.
How to appraise this pressing
To confirm this exact pressing, start with the dead wax: the runout should read 92. 3743-A, B, C and D, and the release notes say that variant 2 has these matrix characters stamped, with everything after the first X etched.
Check the catalogue number on each part of the sleeve: the back cover reads 92.3743-1 while the labels read 92. 3743-1, which is the discrepancy that distinguishes the original German presses.
Look for the WB cream label with lines to separate the initial German version from the later repress, which uses cream labels with shields. Confirm the pressing plant credit as Record Service GmbH, Alsdorf, and the barcode is present.
Grade the record by examining both sides under a light, judging surface wear, sleeve condition and label wear against the Mint to VG range the price guide covers.
