About this record
The German pressing of Whipped Cream & Other Delights carries the catalogue SHA-U 91 on London Records and bears the telltale runout stamps 'Manufactured in Germany K-LP-Ste-SP-4119-I-X' and 'K-LP-Ste-SP-4120-II-X', identifying it as a TELDEC pressing from either Telefunken-Decca or Teldec-Press GmbH. This 1965 stereo LP differs markedly from the original A&M US release (LP110 the same year) and later German A&M reissue (212012, 1967), making it a distinct entry point for collectors tracking the album's international lifecycle.
What drives its value
The German London pressing sits in a narrower collector band than the US original: 1023 collectors have it against 269 who want one, a ratio that reflects its status as a secondary pressing rather than the first issue. Without a barcode and pressed at TELDEC facilities, condition and pressing-plant provenance drive valuation more than rarity alone.
The spread between Mint and VG copies determines real-world asking prices; the price_guide figures for this specific pressing establish the floor. Collectors weighing this against the 1965 US A&M pressing (LP110) or the 1967 German A&M reissue (212012) should note that London Records distribution and TELDEC manufacturing create a distinct sonic and physical profile—stereo quality, label design, and dead-wax stamps all differ from the originals.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number SHA-U 91 printed on the London Records label. Examine both sides of the runout area: Side 1 should read 'SP 4119' and Side 2 'SP 4120', with the full stamped text 'Manufactured in Germany K-LP-Ste-SP-4119-I-X' and 'K-LP-Ste-SP-4120-II-X' respectively (note that 'I+ II III' is etched, not stamped, according to release notes).
The pressing plant will be either TELDEC »Telefunken-Decca« Schallplatten GmbH or Teldec-Press GmbH. The label should read 'Royal Sound Stereo' and credit A&M as the recording entity.
The LP contains 12 tracks in stereo. Absence of a barcode is normal for this 1965 German release.
Grade by vinyl surface condition, label printing clarity, and sleeve integrity; German pressings from this era often show excellent pressing quality but variable storage conditions.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this German London pressing apart from the original US A&M release?
The catalogue number is the quickest check: this pressing is SHA-U 91 on London Records, whereas the 1965 US original carries LP110 on A&M Records. The runout stamps differ too—look for 'Manufactured in Germany K-LP-Ste-SP-4119-I-X' and 'K-LP-Ste-SP-4120-II-X' on the German pressing. The label design, pressing plant credit (TELDEC), and 'Royal Sound Stereo' designation also distinguish it. The US original will show different matrix codes and A&M's own pressing plant.
What is the community demand for this pressing?
1023 collectors have this pressing in their collection against 269 who actively want it, a ratio indicating it is moderately available but still sought. The community rating stands at 4.2 out of 5 based on 59 ratings, suggesting consistent appreciation for the recording and pressing quality. This demand level places it below the rarest variants but above common reissues.
Is there a barcode on this German pressing?
No. This 1965 German London Records pressing has no barcode, which is typical for records from that era and region. Barcodes became standard on records later, so their absence does not indicate a counterfeit or unusual variant—it is a normal feature of the original German release.
What does 'Royal Sound Stereo' mean on the label?
Royal Sound Stereo is a stereo designation printed on the label, indicating that the recording was mastered and pressed in stereo. It was a marketing term used by some pressing plants and distributors in the 1960s to highlight stereo capability. On this TELDEC German pressing, it underscores the stereo mix and pressing quality.
How does the 1967 German A&M reissue (212012) compare to this 1965 London pressing?
Both are German pressings, but they come from different labels and pressing runs. The 1965 London pressing (SHA-U 91) was distributed by London Records via TELDEC, whereas the 1967 A&M reissue (212012) came directly from A&M's German catalogue. The 1965 pressing is the earlier German variant and may command a slight premium for that reason, though the 1967 reissue often appears in better condition due to lighter use. Matrix codes, label designs, and pressing plants differ between them.
