About this record

This 1978 German pressing of The Hits Of Bonnie Tyler carries dual pressing-plant markings in the runout—RCA Schallplatten GmbH and Teldec-Press GmbH—indicating a split manufacturing run for the RCA Victor catalogue number PL 25139. The dead-wax etchings distinguish A and B sides (PL 25 139-A and PL 25 139-B), while stamped text confirms "Manufactured in Germany," separating this edition from concurrent releases in the GDR, Sweden, Netherlands, and France.

With 103 copies currently listed for sale and 2558 collectors owning one against only 69 who want it, supply outpaces demand significantly.

What drives its value

Condition drives the entire market for this soft-rock compilation. A Mint copy commands 12.13 USD, while Near Mint drops to 10.85 USD—a modest premium for flawless vinyl.

The real cliff appears at VG+, valued at 8.30 USD; VG copies settle at 5.75 USD. Below that, G+ reaches 3.19 USD, and heavily played or damaged stock falls to 1.92 USD or lower.

The lowest asking price across the 103 active listings is 1.00 USD, reflecting the glut of worn copies in circulation. As a reissue compilation rather than an original pressing, this German edition holds less collector cachet than first pressings, yet the dual-plant manufacturing detail and regional exclusivity to Germany (versus GDR, Swedish, Dutch, and French variants) provide mild differentiation.

The 3.69-point community rating from 143 votes suggests moderate collector interest but no cult status.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number PL 25139 on the front cover and label, paired with the RCA Victor imprint and "Made in Germany" text. Examine the runout etchings on both sides: Side A should read PL 25 139-A (or the variant PL-25139-A2 with stamped "Manufactured in Germany"), and Side B should show PL 25 139-B (or PL-25139-B/1 with the same stamped plant attribution).

The presence of both RCA Schallplatten GmbH and Teldec-Press GmbH in the dead wax confirms the split manufacturing. Note that runout text is etched except for the "Manufactured in Germany" stamp, which appears pressed into the vinyl.

The absence of a barcode is consistent with 1978 German pressings. Grade by surface cleanliness, groove wear, and jacket condition; this 10-track stereo LP shows its age readily, and most copies in the market exhibit light to moderate play wear.

Frequently asked

What is this pressing worth in VG+ condition?

A VG+ copy is estimated at 8.30 USD according to the price guide. This represents a significant drop from Near Mint (10.85 USD) and reflects the sensitivity of this common reissue to visible wear and surface noise.

Why are there two pressing plants listed in the runout?

RCA Schallplatten GmbH and Teldec-Press GmbH both manufactured copies of this 1978 German edition. The split production run is documented in the dead-wax matrix strings (PL 25 139-A and PL 25 139-B variants), indicating RCA contracted both facilities to meet demand for the German market.

How does this German pressing differ from other regional editions?

Release notes confirm separate pressings were issued in the German Democratic Republic (GDR), Sweden, Netherlands, and France. This German pressing is distinguished by its RCA Victor catalogue number PL 25139 and the dual German pressing-plant attribution. Collectors seeking a specific regional variant must verify the label text and runout codes.

What is the lowest price I should expect to pay?

The lowest asking price among the 103 copies currently for sale is 1.00 USD. However, this likely represents a heavily damaged or unplayable copy; a playable VG example typically costs 5.75 USD, and a VG+ copy averages 8.30 USD.

Is this a first pressing or a reissue?

This is a reissue compilation released in 1978 on RCA Victor. It is not an original pressing of the individual tracks; rather, it collects 10 previously released Bonnie Tyler songs. The dual-plant German pressing and regional variants confirm it was manufactured for specific markets rather than as a single worldwide pressing.
