About this record
The catalogue number 2658 153 marks this 1982 German RSO pressing as a four-sided compilation spanning material from 1967 through 1974. The runout matrix 2479 304 S1 3 20 on one side confirms the West German pressing plant origin.
With 27 tracks drawn from seven years of Bee Gees recordings, the release notes document distinct copyright years for each side, making matrix verification essential to confirm you hold the correct pressing rather than a later reissue.
What drives its value
This German pressing commands a steep condition-dependent spread: Mint copies fetch 38.32 USD, while a VG+ example drops to 26.22 USD, and a VG copy settles at 18.15 USD. The lowest asking price across 24 active listings is 7.56 USD, indicating soft demand relative to supply.
Community ownership stands at 344 collectors against 41 who want it, a ratio that reflects its status as a reissue rather than an original pressing. The four-sided format and 27-track span make it a budget compilation; original 1967–1974 UK pressings of individual albums command far higher prices.
Condition grade becomes the entire value driver here—a Mint specimen is worth double a VG copy.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 2658 153 on the spine and label. The runout matrix 2479 304 S1 3 20 appears in the dead wax and identifies the West German pressing plant.
The release notes printed on the back or inner sleeve list copyright years by side and track: Side 1 includes 1967 and 1968 RSO Records Ltd., London; Side 2 spans 1968, 1969, and 1970; Side 3 covers 1970, 1971, and 1972; Side 4 contains 1973 and 1974 material. The pressing lacks a barcode.
Grade by inspecting all four sides for hairline scratches, dust, and groove wear; even light surface marks drop a Mint copy into NM territory. The 27-track count confirms you have the full compilation.

Frequently asked
How do I know this is the 1982 German pressing and not a later reissue?
Check the catalogue number 2658 153 on the label and spine. Verify the runout matrix in the dead wax reads 2479 304 S1 3 20 or the alternate matrices 2479 304 or 2479 305. The release notes must list copyright years by side and track, with the final entry dated 1974 RSO Records Ltd., London. The pressing must state Made in West Germany on the label or sleeve.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ example is valued at 26.22 USD. This is an estimate as of the guide's publication date and reflects the midpoint between Mint (38.32 USD) and VG (18.15 USD) grades. Actual sales may vary based on seller reputation and exact surface condition.
Why is the price so low compared to original Bee Gees albums?
This is a 1982 compilation reissue, not an original pressing. It collects 27 tracks from seven years of prior releases, making it a budget retrospective. Original 1967–1974 UK pressings of individual albums—such as Saturday Night Fever or Spirits Having Flown—command significantly higher prices because they are first pressings with original artwork and limited pressing runs.
What is the lowest price I should expect to pay?
The lowest asking price across 24 active listings is 7.56 USD. This represents heavily played or damaged copies; expect to pay 18.15 USD for a VG grade and 26.22 USD for VG+ condition if you want a listenable copy without surface noise.
How many tracks are on this compilation?
The compilation contains 27 tracks spread across four sides. The release notes document that tracks come from RSO Records Ltd., London sessions spanning 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, and 1974, with each side grouping material by copyright year.
