About this record
Stamped into the dead wax, the runouts S 209 400 A and S 209 400 B sit alongside the second matrix DM209400 A-3/9-88 and DM209400 B-3/9-88, the date code that ties this Sonopress pressing to September 1988. Recorded at BSB Studio in Brussels during summer 1988, this European Ariola edition of Vaya Con Dios carries 12 tracks and a printed inner sleeve with lyrics and credits.
Collectors have 1553 copies in their hands against 235 who want one, which keeps the release in steady circulation.
What drives its value
The price guide places this pressing from 43.32 USD in Mint down to 20.52 USD in VG, with 29.64 USD as the VG+ estimate and 38.76 USD in Near Mint. The guide is an estimate, and the lowest current listing is 4.00 USD, with 77 copies offered for sale at the time of the snapshot.
The 4.34 community rating from 149 votes shows steady interest, while the 1553 owners against 235 wanters explain why sellers hold firm on grade. Because this is the Ariola Europe pressing with the Made in Germany label line and the sleeve variant noted in the release notes, its position among other pressings is what separates it from the sleeve and barcode variants that trade lower.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing first by reading the catalogue number 209.400 (also listed as 209 400) on the spine and on the labels, since the release notes say the sleeve carries one catalogue number and the labels carry a second. Check the back sleeve for the LC placement in the upper right corner, which the release notes say differs from the similar release, and look for the barcode variant that the notes describe.
Then match the dead wax against S 209 400 A and S 209 400 B, and the DM209400 A-3/9-88 and DM209400 B-3/9-88 stamps on the vinyl. Grade by the price guide tiers from Mint at 43.32 USD down to Poor at 2.28 USD, checking the inner sleeve with the printed lyrics and credits, which the notes say should be present.
