About this record
Stamped into the dead wax, the runout S 85690 A-3 Made in Germany marks this as a Sonopress pressing from the Bronze label, catalogue 28 763 ET. Among 817 collectors who own it, 155 are still hunting a copy, so demand runs ahead of supply.
The release is a German repress of the Uriah Heep album, pressed in Germany and not the 1970 original.
What drives its value
Price_guide for this pressing runs from 19.24 USD at VG up to 40.61 USD at Mint, with NM at 36.33 and VG+ at 27.79. The lowest current asking price is 4.98 USD, and 18 copies are listed for sale, so the cheapest listings sit well below the guide.
Demand is measurable: 155 community members want this release against 817 who have it. Its place among other_pressings matters here.
The 1970 original on Mercury (US, SR-61294) and Vertigo (UK, 6360 006) are the earlier issues, while this 1977 Bronze German edition is a later repress, which generally keeps its value below the originals. The release notes date it probably to 1979, so buyers should treat the year as unconfirmed.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing first by the label Bronze and catalogue number 28 763 ET, which appears on the cover. Then read the dead wax: the matrix lines C 85 690 A and C 85 690 B should be present, along with the S 85690 A-3 Made in Germany and S 85690 B-2 76 Made in Germany codes that identify this Sonopress run.
Note that the label code is printed only on the cover rear, not on the record labels, which was usual for this title until the late 1980s, so a missing label code is not a red flag by itself. The artwork credit Robin Nicol (Design Machine) should appear on the sleeve.
Grade the disc against the price_guide tiers from M down to P, and check that the sleeve credits and matrix strings match before accepting any copy as this exact pressing.
