About this record
The runout matrix strings CHPP-3303, CHPP-3304, CHPP-3305, and CHPP-3306 stamped in the dead wax identify this as a German pressing manufactured by TELDEC »Telefunken-Decca« Schallplatten GmbH, not an original RCA Victor US release. Spike Jones and His City Slickers' novelty catalogue has been reissued many times; this Volume 2 compilation carries the catalogue number RCS 3217 and was pressed from RCA master recordings in 1973.
The gatefold sleeve and 20-track layout distinguish it from single-issue pressings, yet 46 copies currently list below 1.19 USD, signaling weak collector demand relative to the 352 who own one.
What drives its value
This German repress trades on condition more than rarity. A Mint copy commands 14.61 USD, while Near Mint drops to 13.08 USD and VG+ settles at 10.00 USD; the gap widens sharply below that, with VG copies at 6.92 USD and Good+ at 3.85 USD.
The community snapshot shows 352 collectors have the record against only 17 who want it, indicating oversupply relative to active demand. At 46 copies for sale and a floor price of 1.19 USD, the market reflects its status as a reissue rather than an original pressing.
The TELDEC manufacturing credit and 1973 copyright date place it well after Spike Jones' novelty peak, making it a secondary-market item for completists rather than a sought original. Catalogue number RCS 3217 and the gatefold format are standard for this pressing run.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number RCS 3217 (also marked 26.28019 on some copies) and the gatefold sleeve credit reading 'Made in Germany by TELDEC >>Telefunken-Decca<< Schallpl. Ges.m.b.H., from Master Recording of RCA'.
The runout matrix strings—CHPP-3303, CHPP-3304, CHPP-3305, CHPP-3306 across the four sides—are specific to this TELDEC pressing and do not appear on original RCA Victor US issues. The 1973 copyright notice in the runout confirms the manufacturing date.
Grade by vinyl surface condition: Mint (M) assumes no play wear and pristine sleeve; Near Mint (NM) allows minimal signs of handling; VG+ permits light surface marks audible only under close listening; VG shows visible groove wear and light surface noise. The 20-track compilation and gatefold format are standard; absence of a barcode is consistent with 1973 German pressings.
TELDEC-Press GmbH also appears as a secondary plant credit on some copies.

The runout matrix strings CHPP-3303, CHPP-3304, CHPP-3305, and CHPP-3306 confirm the TELDEC pressing. TELDEC-Press GmbH also appears as a secondary plant credit on some copies.
How many copies are currently for sale?
