78rpm-maniac 6th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Back On Stage - Limited Edition (1985)	According to the catalogue-number of that record, it is a special pressing, private pressing for that band. The record was pressed in Cologne EMI-Electrola pressing plant. Such F-600000 numbers are for custom-pressings, private-pressings and for the Intershops in the former GDR (DDR).
78rpm-maniac 6th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Mein Star (1978)	3-Record-Set is a German Record-club-edition. For members of the Bertelsmann Schallplattenclub. (German Bertelsman-recordclub, now BMG)
78rpm-maniac 6th Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - 20 Fantastic Hits (1975)	A German Record-Club-issue for members only. 20000-number is from the Deutscher Schallplattenclub (German Recordclub). There is another edition from the Bertelsman Record-Club, with a different catalogue-number.
78rpm-maniac 3rd Sep 2022		Vinyl Album Fletcher Henderson And His Orchestra - Fletcher Henderson "First Impressions" Volume 1 (1924-1931) (1967)	This record belongs to the German DECCA-American Series Production. Those pressings have white labels with black lettering.
78rpm-maniac 30th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (1988)	Yes, can be true fact, that the Australasian pressings are made for the sale in both Australia and New Zealand. The Dire Straits singles differ in case of the label-layout from Australia and New Zealand.
78rpm-maniac 29th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Golden Boy Elvis (1981)	Sorry, but i´m a little bit shocked about the totally overpriced values on various German-issue Elvis Presley entries. Most of them are Re-issues, which are easily to get for a few Euro from every German / European fleamarkets, from thrift-stores / second-hand-stores, house clearances and so on. So a special note to all record-collectors newbies, never pay up to 30 Euros for such a copy. You can get it much cheaper, for reasonable prices, also on record-fairs.
78rpm-maniac 29th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Forever (1974)	Sorry again, but i´m a little bit shocked with that not realistic values of those very common German Elvis-Presley issues. Elvis Forever Volume 1, is released in Germany in 1974 for the first time, and sold millions of copies, so it is a very successful 2-LP-Set. No question, but you can get it for a few euro (1-10Euro maximum) on every fleamarket, on every car-sale, on every second-hand /thrift-store, on every house-clerances in Europe. So, that is NOT A RARE RECORD. The follow ups are more rare as this first volume. Just try to grab Volume 3,4 or 5 of that Forever-Edition.
78rpm-maniac 29th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Is Back! (1984)	This shown black-silver label is a newer labelstyle and in combination with the NL-****** number it is not a TELDEC-pressing anymore, but a BMG (Bertelsman Media Group) Re-Issue, because TelDec lost the manufacturing rights and BMG got them. That are newer re-issues from BMG-Germany.
78rpm-maniac 29th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - A Portrait In Music (1972)	Collectors with special knowledge never pay 30 Euro for such a record. Never ever, because that record album is very common in Germany, and NOT A RARE RECORD. On every German fleamarket you can get it in multiple copies from different traders or private sellers. So it is no problem to get that record in pristine condition for a few Euro. Those collectors aren´t stupid, because they have the knowledge of current and of realistic values.
78rpm-maniac 29th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - A Portrait In Music (1972)	To 55bluesmann, come on, that is not serious, that is a fairy-tale. OK the range of different prices according to the current condition is known to me, but it is not realistic. That record can be found in Germany on every casual fleamarket, on every thrift-store / second-hand-store for a few euros, maximum 10 euros.
78rpm-maniac 29th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Is Back! (1984)	Hello, this is an 1980s re-issue of that record and nobody will pay 38 Euros for such a record. Your record-values are ridiculous and not serious. So, please stop to value such Presley records with unrealistic prices. What is your aim with that ??
78rpm-maniac 29th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Golden Boy Elvis (1981)	Again an unserious value for that record. It is a re-issue, and it is available for a much lower price, also on record-fairs. So please don´t value such Elvis Presley records anymore with unrealistic prices. It is not serious, to confuse the record-collectors community, especially some record-collector newbies.
78rpm-maniac 29th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Forever (1974)	Again an important question. Who is the mental insane guy, who valued THAT record with 63 Euro.???????? I´m of the opinion it is a very bad joke, or that guy has big problems with his perceptions in case of rating a record´s value. If i will sell all my Forever Copies i will be an incredilby rich man. OK, again, let´s take this topic seriously. A message to the mods of this forum. Please close that value-function down, because it make´s no sense again. It will confuse some record-collectors, especially the newbies. That is not serious.
78rpm-maniac 29th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - A Portrait In Music (1972)	31 Euro for that record, really ?? Ok, so i will sell all my copies of that record to the crazy guy, who valued that record. Please make me a rich man and buy all my Portrait in music copies. Ok, to be serious again: That value is not realistic, that is ridiculous.
78rpm-maniac 29th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley (1956)	That value of 63 Euro is another unrealistic example for that function here on the database. OK, i will pay 63 Euros for such a 1956 mono-copy in pristine close to mint-condition, immediately, but not 30 Euro for a NL-number reissue. So, an important note to the mods here, if that function does not used in a realistic way, please close it down.
78rpm-maniac 29th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - California Holiday (1984)	Who is the crazy guy, that values such Re-issues pressings from Germany for more than 30 Euro ?? You can grab such issues for a few bucks on the second-hand-market, also on record-fairs. Unbelievable.
78rpm-maniac 26th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Phantomband - Freedom Of Speech (1981)	Cool record. Liebezeit is Jaki Liebezeit from German Krautrock-Band CAN. Zerlett is Helmut Zerlett, keyboardist with Marius Müller-Westernhagens Band and with Joachim Witt.
78rpm-maniac 21st Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Perry Como - Como's Golden Records	That cover shows a re-press with the modern RCA logo. Possibly released in the late 1960 or early 1970s with the orange label.
78rpm-maniac 19th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Beat Beat Beat (1965)	A German 10-inch LP as Recordclub-Edition. Versions with winered-golden label and with red-labels are known. First time released in Germany in ca. 1965 with the wine-red oval-Decca label
78rpm-maniac 19th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Milestones (1971)	A German whitelabel Testpressing from TELDEC record-pressing plant. I own the regular red DECCA LP-Album.
78rpm-maniac 19th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album The Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request (1968)	A German Whitelabel Testpressing from TELDEC Record-pressing plant. Interesting to see a RCA-Testlabel for the DECCA Stones LP. There are also DECCA, TELEFUNKEN, LONDON, WARNER-BROS testpressing labels used in the past. In that time, RCA, Telefunken, Decca, London and Warner Brothers belong to the TELDEC-label-group.
78rpm-maniac 16th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Craaft - Craaft (1989)	This is the USA-version of the Second Honeymoon LP-Album by German Hardrock-Metal-Band Craaft.
78rpm-maniac 16th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Karo - Heavy Birthday (1988)	German Hardrock / Metalband. Produced by Peter Hauke at Hotline-Studio Frankfurt/Main Germany.
78rpm-maniac 14th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (1966)	It is, indeed, a classic-album, but to my opinion, as with some other albums by other artists, the price-development is artificial. Like the totally overpriced Dire Straits On the night 2-LP-Set from 1993. Just have a closer look at the various online-marketplaces, you will find many of such albums. Just grab a pristine copy for a reasonable price and everything will be allright.
78rpm-maniac 13th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Gunter Gabriel - Gesucht (1973)	Gunter Gabriels first LP-Album. Incl. German version of Johnny Cash-song Wanted Man as Ich werd´gesucht. That was the connection of Gunter Gabriel with US-Star Johnny Cash.
78rpm-maniac 12th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Joan Baez - Greatest Hits (1977)	I own a white-label testpressing of that record.
78rpm-maniac 12th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album The Riot Squad - Anytime (1988)	Interesting record. Riot Squad was the first band of Graham Bonney, who later was successful with english and german-pop-songs.
78rpm-maniac 8th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album The Beatles - The Beatles' Second Album (1964)	Interesting to see the cover-layout from the US-issue with the little picture of the first Capitol-LP album by The Beatles. Is that not an Export-edition, but an Army-issue for the US-Soldiers in Germany in those days ? Is that true, that it had been sold in the so called PX-shops or in the UK NAAFI-shops, too. In the past on several record-fairs, some so called experts said, that those two ZTOX-releases also used to be as export-editions for Switzerland. Is that information not true ??
78rpm-maniac 8th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Please Please Me (1964)	So, this issue is not an Export-issue, even an Army-issue for UK- or US soldiers in Germany. To be sold in the so called NAAFI or PX-Shops. ?? In the past on various record-fairs that issue was classified as an export-edition.
78rpm-maniac 6th Aug 2022		Vinyl Album Frank Sinatra And Nancy Sinatra - Frankie Boy & Nancy Girl (1966)	A German Reprise-records pressing without the Hörzu-Label. Those records are export-issues with regular Reprise-label and regular cat.-number. The Hörzu-issues are for the German music-markets, and all other versions are German pressings for UK and US-Soldiers and for export in some other countries.
