About this record
The German pressing of Yazoo's 'Nobody's Diary' carries catalogue INT 111.811 and bears the Intercord Ton GmbH plant stamp in its dead wax, distinguishing it from the concurrent UK 12-inch (YAZ 003) released the same year. Manufactured in Stuttgart under Mute Records' license, this 7-inch 45 RPM single was pressed at either Intercord or Teldec-Press GmbH, with matrix variants 111.811 A and 111.811 B marking the two sides.
The runout codes 111 . 811 - A/1 TD H1 and 111 .
811 - B TD H1 confirm Teldec involvement in at least one pressing variant.
What drives its value
This 1983 German single sits in a collector base of 746 owners against 75 active want-list entries, a ratio reflecting moderate scarcity relative to demand. The 2-track format and 7-inch configuration limit its appeal versus the 12-inch UK release (12 YAZ 003), which typically commands higher prices due to extended mixes and UK-market prestige.
No barcode appears on this pressing, a detail that dates it within early-1980s Mute manufacturing practice and aids authentication. The Intercord Ton GmbH manufacturing credit and Stuttgart plant attribution narrow the supply pool to a specific licensee run, making condition and matrix variant significant value drivers.
Community rating of 4.07 across 55 votes indicates consistent collector regard, though the want-to-have ratio of 75:746 suggests this is a secondary-market find rather than a chase piece.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number INT 111.811 on the label and the release notes crediting Intercord Ton GmbH as manufacturer and Teldec-Press GmbH as a secondary plant. The matrix runout on side A should read 111.811 A or 111 .
811 - A/1 TD H1; side B should show 111.811 B or 111 . 811 - B TD H1.
The absence of a barcode is correct for this edition. The label should credit Sonet Publ. for publishing and note recording at Blackwing Studios; the copyright line reads ℗ & © 1983 Mute Records, England.
Sleeve design attribution to Acrobat Design Ltd. appears in release documentation. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and the label for foxing or marker marks; the 1983 pressing date and German manufacture mean many copies show age-related wear.
The 45 RPM speed and stereo format are standard; verify playback tracking to rule out groove damage.

Frequently asked
How does this German 7-inch compare to the UK 12-inch YAZ 003 from the same year?
The UK pressing carries catalogue 12 YAZ 003 and is a 12-inch format, typically offering extended mixes and commanding higher secondary-market prices. This German INT 111.811 is a 7-inch 45 RPM single with 2 tracks, making it a more compact and usually less sought variant. Both are 1983 originals on Mute, but the 12-inch UK release dominates collector demand.
What does the matrix runout tell me about which plant pressed my copy?
The runout 111.811 A or 111.811 B indicates Intercord Ton GmbH manufacture in Stuttgart. If your dead wax reads 111 . 811 - A/1 TD H1 or 111 . 811 - B TD H1, Teldec-Press GmbH was involved in that specific pressing variant. Both plants operated under Mute's license; the matrix variant is the only way to distinguish which pressing run you own.
Why does this pressing have no barcode?
Barcode adoption was inconsistent in 1983 German pressing practice, especially for licensee runs. The absence of a barcode on INT 111.811 is correct for this edition and actually aids authentication—it confirms you have an original 1983 pressing rather than a later reissue, which would carry EAN or UPC codes.
What do the community numbers (746 have, 75 want) mean for rarity?
With 746 owners recorded against 75 active want-list entries, this pressing is moderately available in the collector base. The 75:746 ratio suggests it is not a chase piece but a steady secondary-market find. The 4.07 rating from 55 votes indicates consistent quality regard, so condition and pressing variant matter more than absolute scarcity in determining value.
How do I verify the release notes and manufacturing credits on my copy?
The label should credit Sonet Publ., note recording at Blackwing Studios, and display the copyright ℗ & © 1983 Mute Records, England. The sleeve design attribution to Acrobat Design Ltd. appears in documentation. The release notes state 'Manufactured by Intercord Ton GmbH, Stuttgart, Licensee' and 'Printed in Western Germany'—these details confirm authenticity and distinguish this German pressing from other 1983 editions.
