About this record
Two catalogue numbers, 815 662-1 and 815 662-1Q, share one Mercury label on this 1983 German LP, and the difference between them is the first thing to check. Pressed in Germany, the record documents a live recording made on 1.7.1983 at the Wiener Weststadion in Vienna, with Wolfgang Ambros and Rainhard Fendrich sharing twelve tracks.
Collectors currently hold 71 copies, while 10 want one, so demand is steady rather than frantic.
What drives its value
The price guide puts a Mint copy at 21.66 USD and a Near Mint copy at 19.38 USD, falling to 14.82 USD at VG+ and 10.26 USD at VG. The cheapest listing is 4.90 USD, and 22 copies are currently for sale, so the market has enough supply that a clean copy is rarely hard to find.
The spread between Mint and VG is the core of this record's value, since the 21.66 USD and 10.26 USD endpoints reflect how much surface wear a stereo LP from Mercury typically shows after decades of play. Only one edition appears among the data points here, so there is no other pressing to compare against.
The 3.67 rating from 3 community votes is too thin to move the price, and the 71 have counts against 10 want counts suggest that most owners are holding rather than selling.
How to appraise this pressing
Begin with the label and catalogue. Both labels read Mercury, and the two catalogue numbers, 815 662-1 and 815 662-1Q, differ by a Q suffix that identifies a variant pressing, so match your sleeve and disc to one of them before grading.
The matrix strings on this release are AA 815 662-1.1Y and AA 815 662-1.2Y for the two sides on one pressing run, while a second set reads 815 622 - 1$1Y 320 B and 815 622 - 12Y 320 A. Read these in the dead wax with a light, because the 320 A and 320 B suffixes separate the stampers.
Confirm a barcode, since this copy carries one, and then grade the disc and sleeve separately, using the Mint through P scale in the price guide to assign a grade.
