Gustav Mahler – Symphonie Nr. 6

About this record

The sleeve identifies this Deutsche Grammophon issue with catalogue number 2726 065, while its labels identify Disc 1 as 2539 183 and Disc 2 as 2539 184. Both sleeve and labels state “Made in England,” making those separate catalogue references the key identification details for this UK release.

What drives its value

The price guide lists M at $27.40, NM at $24.52, VG+ at $18.75, and VG at $12.98, with lower grades also priced: G+ at $7.21, G at $4.33, F at $2.88, and P at $1.44. The lowest listed offer is $3.83, and 6 copies are for sale; that offer is a market snapshot, not a condition-specific valuation.

Community data records 24 owners and 1 person wanting the release, so the recorded want count is modest beside the have count. The facts identify this as a UK Deutsche Grammophon release, but provide no year or explicit original-versus-reissue designation; they do not support a value premium based on either claim.

How to appraise this pressing

Match the sleeve catalogue number 2726 065 against the labels, which separately identify Disc 1 as 2539 183 and Disc 2 as 2539 184. The release notes say “Made in England” on both label and sleeve, so confirm that wording on the copy being assessed.

The supplied facts give no runout or matrix string and name no pressing plant; dead-wax verification therefore requires inspecting the actual copy and comparing any inscriptions with independently documented examples, rather than assuming a code from these catalogue numbers. The record is described as a vinyl LP compilation with 4 tracks, and the provided label information covers two discs.

For pricing, the guide distinguishes M, NM, VG+, and VG at $27.40, $24.52, $18.75, and $12.98 respectively. Apply the guide’s grade only after assessing the copy against the grading standard used for that guide; the facts do not specify that standard or provide a guide date.
