About this record
Catalogue 2563 284 - 286 is the three-disc set; 2740 203 is the single-catalogue companion to it, so the two numbers on the sleeve tell you which edition you are holding. Deutsche Grammophon issued this Die Entführung aus dem Serail in Germany in 1982, and the 2740 203 and 2563 284 - 286 numbers both carry the same DG label imprint.
Karl Böhm conducts the Staatskapelle Dresden with Arleen Auger, Reri Grist, Peter Schreier and Kurt Moll, and the credits list Harald Neukirch alongside them.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this release at 24.54 USD in Mint and 21.96 USD in Near Mint, falling to 16.79 USD in VG+ and 11.62 USD in VG, with a Good Plus copy at 6.46 USD. The market snapshot shows no lowest_price or num_for_sale figure, so current availability cannot be quoted from this data.
Community demand stands at 119 owners against 14 collectors wanting a copy, and the 4.33 rating comes from 9 votes. The other_pressings field is not supplied in the facts, so I cannot say how this German pressing compares with a reissue or a foreign pressing.
Because grade drives the spread from 24.54 USD at Mint down to 11.62 USD at VG, a copy's sleeve and disc condition will move its value more than any other factor here.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the edition first: the 2740 203 number denotes the single-catalogue release, while 2563 284 - 286 denotes the three-disc set, and the seller's listing should match one of those two. The facts include no matrix or runout string and no pressing plant, so check the dead wax yourself for the DG matrix and any plant code and compare it against a trusted reference such as Discogs entries for these catalogue numbers.
The barcode field is empty for this record, so do not rely on a barcode to confirm the edition. Grade the discs and sleeve against the price_guide ladder from Mint to Poor, looking closely at the box for the three-disc set since it is listed as a Box Set format.
