About this record
Look first at the dead wax: the runouts read 25 39 147-A, 139 208-A, 104 395-A on side one and 25 39 148-B, 139 208-B, 104 395-B on the final side, so the matrix block is the quickest way to confirm this Spanish pressing. Deutsche Grammophon issued this 1984 two-LP set in Spain, and the pressing plant named in the data is PolyGram Servicios, S.A.
Collectors checking a copy against the German original should compare the label credits, the Spanish liner notes and the center-label wording rather than relying on the artwork alone.
What drives its value
The price guide sets the spread on this release from 14.73 USD for a Mint copy down to 6.98 USD for VG, with NM at 13.18 USD and VG+ at 10.08 USD. These are guide figures, not recent sales, and no lowest_price or num_for_sale figure is recorded for the release, so current availability cannot be read from the data.
Community data shows 14 collectors have the set and 2 want it, which points to a modest, steady demand rather than a scarcity premium. The only other listed pressing is the German Deutsche Grammophon issue under the same catalogue number 2726 048 with no year given, so the Spanish copy is the one the guide prices here.
Value therefore rests mainly on condition, because the liner notes in Spanish and the Deposito Legal stamps identify it as a national issue rather than a rarer variant.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the spine, which reads Beethoven: Missa Solemnis · Karajan 2726 048 . 2LP Stereo.
Then check the center labels for the words D. P., the Deposito Legal references M.8679-1983 on disc one and M.8680-1983 on disc two, and the line Impuesto a metalico - permiso numero 6421.
Next, compare the four dead-wax entries listed above: side one carries 25 39 147-A with 139 208-A and 104 395-A, while the other sides carry the -B and 209 or 396 variants. Matching these strings in the etched runouts of both discs confirms the release, and the PolyGram Servicios, S.A. plant credit should appear in the sleeve or label copy.
Grade the record by inspecting each side under good light at the runout area and the outer groove, then assign the guide grade that fits the condition you find.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of this set worth?
The price guide lists 10.08 USD for a VG+ copy, an estimate as of the guide date and not a sold price.
What is a Mint copy worth?
The guide gives 14.73 USD for an M copy, and this is a valuation estimate rather than a recorded transaction.
How do I tell the Spanish pressing from the German original?
Check the Spanish liner notes, the D. P. mark and the Deposito Legal stamps on the center labels, which the German Deutsche Grammophon issue under 2726 048 does not carry.
Does the dead wax identify this exact copy?
Yes, if the runouts read 25 39 147-A, 139 208-A, 104 395-A on side one and the matching -B and 209 or 396 strings elsewhere; these matrix values are the identifying detail for this release.
Is this set rare or in high demand?
The community data shows 14 collectors have it and 2 want it, which indicates modest demand and no recorded scarcity premium.
