About this record
Two matrix strings on this Spanish Philips compilation carry different dates: the side stamped 6851 237 1Y 1 reads ℗1973 670 11 03, while the 6851 237 2Y 1 side reads ℗1966 670 11 03. Those two runouts sit side by side on the same release, so the dead wax alone tells you this is a mixed-source pressing rather than a single-session master.
The label is Philips, the catalogue number is 68 51 237, and the record was pressed in Spain in 1983 by COFASA.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this pressing from 13.64 USD in Mint down to 6.46 USD in VG, with NM at 12.20 USD and VG+ at 9.33 USD; those figures are estimates as of the guide date. Right now there are 8 copies for sale, with the lowest asking price at 3.00 USD, so the cheapest listing sits well below the VG figure.
Community demand is modest: 72 owners have it on their lists against 9 collectors wanting it, and the rating is 4.5 from 4 votes. Within the catalogue of Spanish Philips pressings, this copy is the 1983 Fonogram-licensed edition, with the Fabricado por COFASA stamp and permit number 6421 on the labels; that Spanish origin, rather than an original German or Dutch issue, is what anchors the lower end of the spread.
The value case rests on condition, since the gap between a Mint and a VG copy is more than double.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the dead wax on both sides. Side one should read 6851 237 1Y 1 ℗1973 670 11 03 and side two 6851 237 2Y 1 ℗1966 670 11 03; if either side differs, you may have another printing.
Check that the catalogue number 68 51 237 appears on the spine and labels, and that the labels carry Edit. FONOGRAM, S.A. - Imp. lujo met. with Fab. por COFASA - Perm.
6421. The rear cover should credit Impreso en España por FOCO, S.A.
(1983) and the Fra Angelico cover illustration. There is no barcode on this release, so do not look for one as a verification step.
To grade, compare each side against the M to P scale in the price guide, concentrating on the centre groove area and the label edges where Spanish pressings of this era tend to show wear.
