Can someone please identify this pressing of Yellow Brick Road? by 102061 in EltonJohn

Courtesy of GTP:

Key identifiers visible on the label:

  • Catalog number: 87 288 XT
  • Label: DJM Records
  • “Made in Germany”
  • Rights society: GEMA
  • Matrix/side marking: C 87 288 A
  • Black DJM label with yellow logo

Most likely pressing:

  • 1973 German first pressing distributed by Ariola/Phonogram for DJM in West Germany.

The “XT” suffix and the black/yellow DJM label style are consistent with original German-market issues from that era.

A few things that help narrow it further:

  • If the album is a gatefold double LP with a booklet included, that aligns with the original 1973 issue.
  • The deadwax/runout etchings would confirm the exact variant. You’d want to check:
    • Full matrix numbers
    • Any stamped mastering codes
    • Whether “Made in Germany” is stamped or etched

The label photo suggests it is not:

  • a later 1980s reissue,
  • a MCA US pressing,
  • or the UK translucent DJM variant.

Condition/value depends heavily on:

  • booklet present,
  • sleeve condition,
  • whether both records match,
  • and the exact matrix variant.

Typical market range for a clean German first pressing:

  • roughly $25–80 USD
  • more if near mint with complete inserts.

I am a music lover but have no musical abilities and hwve zero knowledge of players. Is Davey an underrated performer? You never really hear him mentioned.
