About this record
The German pressing of The Best Of Jim Reeves (RCA Victor SRS 559, 1969) carries matrix stamps RPRS-0980 and RPRS-0981 marked "Manufactured in Germany," identifying it as a TELDEC pressing rather than the original 1964 US issue (LSP-2890). With 595 collectors owning copies against only 7 seeking one, this reissue sits deep in the secondary market, yet 94 copies remain listed for sale—a signal that even common reissues move slowly at these price points.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire value curve on this 1969 German reissue. A Mint copy reaches 10.31 USD, while a VG+ drops to 7.06 USD and a VG settles at 4.88 USD—a steep slide reflecting the wear tolerance of budget-era TELDEC pressings.
The lowest asking price across 94 active listings is 0.2 USD, indicating deep surplus. The 1964 original US pressing (LSP-2890) commands significantly higher prices in all grades, making this 1969 reissue a budget alternative for collectors seeking the same 12 tracks without original-pressing investment.
Community data (595 have, 7 want) confirms this is a common holding, not a hunt.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the German pressing by the catalogue number SRS 559 on the front cover and spine. The dead-wax runouts must read RPRS-0980 (side 1) and RPRS-0981 (side 2), each followed by "LP-Ste-RPRS-098X-X Manufactured in Germany." The pressing plant credit appears either as TELDEC »Telefunken-Decca« Schallplatten GmbH or Teldec-Press GmbH in the dead wax or back cover.
This pressing ships with a gatefold cover (not a unipak). Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: hairline scratches and light dust lower a Mint (10.31 USD) to NM (9.23 USD); visible play wear and light surface noise mark VG+ (7.06 USD) from VG (4.88 USD).
The stamped runouts are original to the pressing and do not indicate recut or reissue variants.

Frequently asked
How much is a VG+ copy of this German pressing worth?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 7.06 USD according to the price guide. This reflects light surface noise and minor play wear visible under normal light but not audible during playback. The estimate is current as of the guide's last update; actual sales may vary based on seller reputation and shipping costs.
What is the difference between this 1969 German pressing and the 1964 original?
The 1964 original (LSP-2890) was pressed in the US, Australia, and Canada by RCA Victor. This 1969 reissue was manufactured in Germany by TELDEC and carries the catalogue number SRS 559 instead of LSP-2890. The same 12 tracks appear on both, but the original US pressing commands substantially higher prices in all grades due to its earlier release date and original-pressing status.
Why are 94 copies listed for sale if only 7 collectors want it?
The want/have ratio (7 want, 595 have) indicates this pressing is common in the used market. Sellers list copies hoping to move inventory at low prices; the lowest asking price is 0.2 USD. High supply and low demand create a buyer's market where patience yields better deals than urgency.
How do I confirm this is a TELDEC pressing and not a later reissue?
Check the dead-wax runouts on both sides. Side 1 must read RPRS-0980 followed by "LP-Ste-RPRS-0980-X Manufactured in Germany," and side 2 must read RPRS-0981 followed by "LP-Ste-RPRS-0981-X Manufactured in Germany." The pressing plant name (TELDEC »Telefunken-Decca« Schallplatten GmbH or Teldec-Press GmbH) appears in the dead wax or on the back cover. These stamps are original to the 1969 pressing and do not change across copies.
What is the price range from Mint to VG condition?
A Mint copy is valued at 10.31 USD, while a VG copy is estimated at 4.88 USD. The spread reflects the sensitivity of TELDEC pressings to handling and storage; even light play wear reduces value significantly. NM copies sit at 9.23 USD and VG+ at 7.06 USD, showing that each grade step downward carries measurable loss.
