About this record
Matrix stamping sets this pressing apart: the runouts read 064-79 3537 1 A and 064-79 3537 1 B on one variant, while a second variant carries 7935371-A1 and 7935371-B2, with the final "1" etched rather than stamped. Pressed by EMI Electrola GmbH and marked Made in EEC, this European edition sits among several EMI and EMI Electrola catalogue variants of Whitesnake's 1989 album.
Collectors checking provenance should start with that runout pair, not the cover artwork.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this LP from M at 56.32 USD down to VG at 26.68 USD, with VG+ at 38.54 USD, and these are estimates as of the guide date. Condition therefore drives most of the spread between a clean copy and a worn one.
The lowest current listing is 12.90 USD, and 33 copies are for sale now, so supply is not scarce. Demand is active: 1255 community members have the record and 155 want it, against a community rating of 4.08 from 107 raters.
Within the EMI Electrola family of pressings, the sleeve variant with the caption printed just below the producer credits and the distinct inner-sleeve catalogue number is what separates this edition from the 1563013 and 13344479 releases, which affects how a buyer should match it.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the edition first by reading the label as EMI or EMI Electrola, then the catalogue number 064 7 93537 1 (or its 064-7 93537 1 hyphenated form) on the front sleeve. Turn to the dead wax and compare the runouts with the listed matrix strings: 064-79 3537 1 A and B, or 7935371-A1 and 7935371-B2.
Check whether the runout stamping is in the expected style, because the note states the stamps are struck while the last "1" in the second variant is etched. Look at the rear sleeve caption, which should sit just below the producer and engineer credits, and at the inner sleeve, which carries the second catalogue number and the lyric and credit print.
Grade the disc and sleeve separately, since the inner sleeve and the notes about Adrian Vandenberg not performing on the album are useful points of reference for a buyer confirming authenticity.
