About this record
Etched into the dead wax is the matrix R/S Alsdorf WEA 92-3774-1 B-2X RME, which ties this copy to the Record Service plant in Alsdorf rather than to the original pressing. Only the R/S Alsdorf marking is stamped by hand; every other runout on the record is etched.
Collectors weigh that detail against a grading scale that runs from 48.16 USD at Mint down to 2.53 USD at Poor.
What drives its value
The price_guide spread for this German repress runs from 48.16 USD at Mint through 43.09 USD at Near Mint and 32.95 USD at VG+ down to 22.81 USD at VG, so condition moves the value more than any other factor. The lowest current ask is 9.01 USD, and 43 copies are listed for sale, which shows the supply is thin at the top grades.
Demand sits at 3078 owners and 345 wanters on Discogs, and the record holds a 4.13 rating from 304 votes. Within the other_pressings list, the 1983 Europe release carrying catalogue 92-3774-1 is the matching sibling, while the 1983 US release uses catalogue 9 23774-1 and the Europe CD pressing uses 7599-23774-2.
Those variants separate this German vinyl from the US original, so the spread above applies to this pressing alone.
How to appraise this pressing
Start with the label, which should read Warner Bros. Records with catalogue number 92-3774-1 in the bottom right corner of the back sleeve and the copyright lines in the bottom left. Next, check the sleeve text, which reads Manufactured in Germany by Record Service GmbH, Alsdorf and Made in Germany by WEA Musik GmbH on the labels.
Then read the dead wax: side one carries the stamped marking R/S Alsdorf WEA 92-3774 A-2XX RME and the etched variant R/S Alsdorf WEA 92-3774-1 A-1 RME 76, while side two carries R/S Alsdorf WEA 92-3774-1 B-1 RME / BE 65. Confirm the matrix and plant strings match before pricing.
Grade with the sleeve in hand, since the poly lined inner sleeve with one blackened side is part of the original issue.
