About this record

Pressed by Phonodisc B.V. for the Dutch market in 1971, this Decca reissue carries a labeling quirk that trips up cataloguers: the runout matrices stamped into the vinyl read 6835 903 and 6835 904, while the sleeve prints catalogue number 6645100. The 24-track compilation spans Folk Rock, Pop Rock, and Chanson across four sides, with Side C mislabeled as "Side 1" on the record itself but "Side 3" on the sleeve.

What drives its value

At 0.51 USD, this pressing sits at the floor of the market, with 88 copies currently for sale — a sign of modest collector demand relative to supply. The price guide spans from 8.22 USD in Mint condition down to 0.43 USD in Poor, a spread that reflects the reissue's modest scarcity.

Community data shows 3155 collectors own it against only 27 who want one, confirming it as a common Dutch pressing rather than a hunt. The gap between VG+ (5.62 USD) and VG (3.89 USD) is steeper than lower grades, meaning condition matters most for copies in playable shape.

Original Decca pressings command premiums; this reissue trades on availability and the folk-rock catalogue rather than rarity.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm this pressing by the Decca catalogue number 6645100 printed on the sleeve and the stamped runout matrices 6835 903.1 Y, 6835 903.2 Y, 6835 904.1 Y, and 6835 904.2 Y in the dead wax of each side. Phonodisc B.V. is the pressing plant.

Check the label rights society: this version carries STEMRA on all four sides; other variations list BIEM alone or in combination, marked by different Discogs IDs (11795728 for BIEM on Side D only; 25121113 for BIEM on Side C only). The record has no barcode.

Grade by vinyl surface cleanliness, label condition, and sleeve wear; the stereo pressing is prone to inner-groove distortion on folk-rock cuts if the stylus pressure is high. The mislabeling of sides (C as "1", D as "2" on labels versus "3" and "4" on sleeve) is not a defect but a documented variant.

Frequently asked

What is this pressing worth in VG+ condition?

The price guide estimates 5.62 USD for a VG+ copy as of the guide's last update. At 88 copies on the market, actual sales may vary; the lowest asking price recorded is 0.51 USD, suggesting some sellers price aggressively below guide value.

How do I tell this from other Decca pressings of the same album?

Check the pressing plant and runout matrix. This Phonodisc B.V. pressing is stamped 6835 903 and 6835 904 in the dead wax. Original Decca pressings will show different matrices. Also verify the rights society on the label: this version reads STEMRA on all four sides. Other variations with BIEM markings are separate catalogue entries.

Why does the sleeve say 'Side 3' when the label says 'Side 1'?

This is a documented labeling error on the 1971 pressing. Side C is printed as "Side 1" on the vinyl label but "Side 3" on the sleeve; Side D reads "Side 2" on the label and "Side 4" on the sleeve. It is not a manufacturing defect but a known variant of this reissue.

Is there a barcode on this pressing?

No. This 1971 Decca reissue has no barcode, which is typical for Dutch pressings of that era. Barcodes were not standard on LP sleeves until the late 1970s.

What does the community rating tell me about this record?

The album itself rates 3.7 out of 5 across 169 user ratings, indicating moderate appreciation for the Boudewijn de Groot compilation. The 3155 collectors who own it vastly outnumber the 27 who want one, confirming it is a common reissue rather than a sought-after original pressing.
