About this record
The stamped runouts identify this German Wings pressing through 1C 064-62 799 A and 1C 064-62 799 B, with additional dead-wax strings 62 799 A-1 and 62 799 B-1. Its 1979 catalogue number is 1C 064-62 799, and the release has no barcode.
The printed inner sleeve and Rockestra performances on tracks B1 and B6 are further release-specific checks.
What drives its value
The price guide places this German pressing at 28.74 in M, 19.66 in VG+, and 13.61 in VG; those condition points show the guide’s pricing tiers without guaranteeing a sale price. The listing snapshot reports 154 copies for sale and a lowest price of 1.
The community figures are 3447 have and 215 want, so the recorded want count is smaller than the have count. This is the MPL (2) and EMI Electrola issue, not the other listed 1979 pressings: the UK MPL copy uses PCTC 257, while the US and Canadian Columbia copies use FC 36057.
The German catalogue number and matching stamped runouts distinguish this copy when comparing offers; the guide’s M figure is 28.74, while its VG figure is 13.61.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the German issue by matching the labels MPL (2) and EMI Electrola with catalogue number 1C 064-62 799. The documented stamped runouts are 1C 064-62 799 A and 1C 064-62 799 B, with additional strings 62 799 A-1 and 62 799 B-1; compare both sides against those exact strings rather than relying on the album title alone.
This release has no barcode, so a barcode cannot establish the match. Its printed inner sleeve is another stated feature to verify.
The edition is a 1979 German pressing, distinct from the UK MPL PCTC 257 and the US and Canadian Columbia FC 36057 copies. For grading and pricing, the guide lists M at 28.74, VG+ at 19.66, and VG at 13.61; use the grade that accurately describes the copy, not a different pressing’s details.
