About this record
TELDEC Schallplatten GmbH and Teldec-Press GmbH identify the German manufacturing provenance of this 1987 compilation, rather than an original-era T. Rex album.
Its dead wax reads “C-6.26 600-01-1 BN” and “C-6.26 600-01-2 BN,” linking the pressing to catalogue number 6.26600. The release notes describe a gatefold sleeve and a printed innersleeve with credits for all 16 songs.
What drives its value
The available market snapshot is community-led: 195 members have this edition, while 17 want it, with a community rating of 4.32 from 19 ratings. No price_guide or lowest_price figures are supplied, so a Mint-to-VG price spread, current asking price, and for-sale count cannot be stated.
That distinction matters: the 1987 German TELDEC compilation is not presented as an original-era album, and the listed other pressing is also a 1987 German TELDEC edition with catalogue number 6.26600. The additional catalogue references, 6.26600 BU and 36 206-1, should be matched to their positions on the sleeve before comparing copies.
Its documented remastered, club-edition status and German pressing provenance are more useful identifiers than treating it as interchangeable with an original T. Rex release.
How to appraise this pressing
Match the physical copy to the documented German edition by checking the TELDEC and Sonocord labels, catalogue number 6.26600, and the alternate references 6.26600 BU and 36 206-1 where they appear on the packaging. The notes specify that the first catalogue number is from the spine and the second is from the back cover, so compare those locations rather than relying on a seller’s abbreviated listing.
For a dead-wax confirmation, look for “C-6.26 600-01-1 BN” on one side and “C-6.26 600-01-2 BN” on the other; the stated plants are TELDEC Schallplatten GmbH and Teldec-Press GmbH. The issue is described as a remastered club-edition LP, made in Germany, with gatefold packaging and a printed credit innersleeve.
Grade the sleeve and innersleeve separately from the record, and report whether both inserts are present; the supplied facts do not define a grading standard or provide a condition-based price guide.
