About this record
Columbia's 1972 French pressing of Camillo Felgen's 'Sag Warum' sits in a narrow market niche: 17 copies currently for sale, yet demand is minimal at just 2 collectors seeking it against 127 who already own one. This two-track 45 RPM single (catalogue 2C 006-23243) predates a 1982 reissue by a decade, making the original the primary target for discographers of this folk-world artist.
What drives its value
The price spread on this 1972 pressing reflects its modest collector interest. A Mint copy commands 9.44 USD, while a VG+ drops to 6.46 USD and a VG to 4.47 USD—a steep slide that underscores condition sensitivity on an obscure title.
The lowest asking price sits at 0.8 USD, typical of bulk-lot filler pricing. With 17 copies in circulation and want/have ratio of 2:127, this is a commons record: abundant enough that sellers compete on condition rather than rarity.
The 1982 reissue (catalogue 2C 008-23.243M) on the same label offers an alternative for budget buyers, though the original's decade-earlier provenance holds modest appeal to completists of Felgen's discography or French Columbia catalogue runs.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 2C 006-23243 printed on the label; Columbia France used this six-digit matrix format for 1970s singles. The record is a 7-inch 45 RPM single with two tracks.
No barcode was applied to this edition. To grade accurately, listen for surface noise and crackle in the quiet passages of the folk arrangement—even light play leaves audible wear on these thin pressings.
A Mint copy shows no signs of play; NM allows only the faintest dust marks visible under light. VG+ copies exhibit light surface noise that does not mask the vocal or instrumentation.
VG copies show moderate groove wear and occasional pops but remain listenable. Below VG, playback becomes compromised by frequent clicks and surface degradation.
The label itself should show no seam splits, foxing, or water damage; French Columbia labels from this era are prone to edge discoloration if stored upright in humid conditions.

Frequently asked
What is the original 1972 pressing worth in VG+ condition?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 6.46 USD according to the price guide. This reflects the record's low demand: even in near-excellent condition, the obscurity of Camillo Felgen and the folk-world genre limit collector appetite. The estimate is current as of the guide's last update.
How much more is a Mint copy than a VG?
Do not compute a gap. A Mint copy is listed at 9.44 USD; a VG copy at 4.47 USD. The difference in asking prices reflects the rarity of unplayed copies and the steep depreciation once play begins on 45 RPM vinyl of this era.
Is there a 1982 reissue, and does it affect the original's value?
Yes. Columbia France reissued this single in 1982 under catalogue 2C 008-23.243M. The reissue's existence does suppress original-pressing premiums, since buyers seeking the music alone can acquire the later version. However, discographers and collectors of 1970s French Columbia pressings still pursue the 1972 original for its decade-earlier release date and distinct catalogue number.
Why are 17 copies for sale but only 2 people want it?
This ratio indicates a commons record with low collector demand. Camillo Felgen is not a sought-after artist in the folk-world category, and the single's two tracks do not appear to have cult or novelty status. Most copies in circulation are held by bulk-lot buyers and general collectors rather than specialists, so supply exceeds active demand.
What does the catalogue number 2C 006-23243 tell me?
The prefix '2C' identifies this as a Columbia France pressing from the 1970s era. The six-digit suffix follows Columbia's standard numbering for singles of that period. The matching catalogue number on both the label and sleeve confirms you have the original 1972 release, not the 1982 reissue (which carries 2C 008-23.243M and a different prefix block).
