About this record
The dead wax carries the identifying detail: the matrix runouts read 6.22 960-01-1 and 6.22 960-01-2, each etched with the sides and stamped "Manufactured in Germany" on the opposite side, which tells you this is a German-plant stamper rather than a generic export run. Pressed on Telefunken in 1977 under catalogue number 6.22960 AO, this self-titled Tame & Maffay LP across 12 tracks is identified more reliably by those etched runouts than by the front sleeve.
Check the etchings first, then the catalogue number, before anything else.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this pressing from 13.72 USD in Mint down to 6.50 USD in VG, with Near Mint at 12.28 USD and VG+ at 9.39 USD. Below VG the figures keep falling, to 3.61 USD at G+ and 0.72 USD at Poor, so the grade band where most copies sit is the gap between VG and VG+ rather than the extremes.
Market supply is broad: the guide shows 101 copies for sale, with the lowest listed price at 0.70 USD, which is far under the grade-based values and signals that asking prices are not a reliable guide to what a copy will sell for. Demand is modest but real: 665 community members have it and 10 want it.
Because this is the German Telefunken pressing, with its own matrix and catalogue number rather than a later reissue, its value rests on being the authentic first run; any reissue or foreign-market copy would sit lower on the same grade scale.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the dead wax. The genuine runout strings are 6.22 960-01-1 and 6.22 960-01-2, with the etched S and the "Manufactured in Germany" text on the opposite side.
The label is Telefunken and the catalogue number is 6.22960 AO, printed on the spine and label; if the jacket or label carries a different number, treat the copy as a different pressing. There is no barcode on this release, so do not use a barcode lookup to verify it.
Grade the record under good light, both sides, judging surface wear and play, and compare against the price guide's grade bands: a copy that meets the VG+ standard sits near 9.39 USD, while one that falls to VG sits near 6.50 USD. Note that the community rating of 3.75 from 48 ratings is a listener opinion and not a grading.

Frequently asked
How do I confirm this is the authentic Telefunken pressing?
Check the dead wax for the runout strings 6.22 960-01-1 and 6.22 960-01-2, which are etched with an S and carry the text "Manufactured in Germany" on the opposite side. Confirm the catalogue number 6.22960 AO on the label and spine.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
The price guide lists a VG+ copy at 9.39 USD. This is an estimate from the guide, not a guaranteed sale price, and it may not reflect current market conditions.
What is a Mint copy worth?
The price guide lists a Mint copy at 13.72 USD. This is an estimate from the guide and is the highest grade value given for this pressing.
Why are some copies listed for as little as 0.70 USD?
The lowest listed price in the guide is 0.70 USD across 101 copies for sale. Listed asks at this level are far below the grade-based values, so they should not be read as the market value of a graded copy.
Is there a barcode to help identify this release?
No. This release has no barcode, so identification should rely on the catalogue number 6.22960 AO and the dead-wax matrix strings instead.
