About this record
Deutsche Grammophon Hamburg pressed this 1967 Polydor stereo LP (catalogue 184 092) for the German market, stamping the dead wax with plant codes G7 and J7 that distinguish it from other pressings in the series. The runout matrix — 184 092 A and 184 092 B — confirms the Hamburg facility as the manufacturer.
Community data shows 447 collectors own a copy against 26 who want one, a ratio that reflects modest but steady collector interest in James Last Band's easy-listening catalog.
What drives its value
Price guides value a Mint copy at the high end, with VG+ and VG grades stepping down accordingly—exact figures depend on the guide's most recent survey date. The 1967 German pressing commands less volatility than original UK or US variants because reissues are common in the easy-listening catalog; however, the Deutsche Grammophon Hamburg attribution and the specific matrix codes (G7 and J7 on the labels) anchor this edition's identity.
Demand of 26 want against 447 have suggests a stable secondary market without acute scarcity. The 12-track stereo format and the bilingual sleeve note (Stereo also playable mono / Imprimé en Allemagne) are standard for continental European pressings of this era and do not command premiums.
Condition grade drives price more than rarity here.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Polydor catalogue number 184 092 printed on the label with a dash prefix (— 184 092). Verify the dead-wax runout: side A should read — 184 092 A with the plant code 2 ℗ 1967 J7 ◊V 184092 = 2 A, and side B — 184 092 B with 1 ℗ 1967 G7 ◊V 184092 B.
Both codes confirm Deutsche Grammophon Hamburg as the pressing plant. The sleeve must state Printed in Germany and Imprimé en Allemagne, with Gerhard Kaiser GmbH, Essen credited as the printer and Deutsche Grammophon, Hamburg as manufacturer.
The label should read Made in Germany by Deutsche Grammophon Hamburg. Grade by vinyl surface (hairlines, scratches, play-wear) and sleeve condition (creasing, foxing, seam splits); the stereo playable mono note on the sleeve is original and not a defect.

Frequently asked
How do I confirm this is the Deutsche Grammophon Hamburg pressing and not a reissue?
Check the dead-wax runout on both sides. Side A must show — 184 092 A with the plant code 2 ℗ 1967 J7 ◊V 184092 = 2 A; side B must show — 184 092 B with 1 ℗ 1967 G7 ◊V 184092 B. The G7 and J7 codes are specific to Hamburg. The label must read Made in Germany by Deutsche Grammophon Hamburg. Reissues typically carry different plant codes or lack the bilingual Imprimé en Allemagne text on the sleeve.
What does the rating of 3.85 from 27 community votes tell me about this record's sound quality?
The 3.85 rating reflects listener satisfaction across those 27 votes and suggests the recording and pressing are competent but not exceptional—typical for easy-listening orchestral arrangements of the 1967 era. The modest vote count (27) means the rating is not heavily weighted by outliers, but it also indicates this title does not generate intense collector discussion. Sound quality depends more on individual pressing condition than on the master tape or pressing plant reputation.
Why are there 447 copies in collector hands but only 26 people want one?
The 26-to-447 ratio reflects the easy-listening genre's narrow collector base. James Last Band recordings were pressed in large quantities for the German and European markets, so original copies are not scarce. Most of the 447 who own one likely acquired it casually rather than as a targeted hunt. The 26 want signals steady but low demand—buyers are replacing worn copies or completing discographies, not chasing a rare pressing.
Does the 'Stereo also playable mono' note on the sleeve affect the value?
No. This note is original to the 1967 German pressing and appears on the sleeve as a standard manufacturing statement for stereo records of that era. It is not a defect or a sign of a hybrid mono/stereo cut. It confirms the record is true stereo and does not reduce value; it is part of the authentic sleeve documentation.
How does this 1967 German pressing compare in value to the similar catalogue 11321560?
The release notes reference 11321560 as a similar edition, likely a variant or related title in the same series. Both are German Polydor pressings from the same era and pressing plant. Without separate price-guide data for 11321560, direct comparison is not possible, but both would trade in the same secondary-market range for easy-listening orchestral LPs. The 184 092 catalogue number and the specific G7 and J7 plant codes distinguish this pressing from that one.
