About this record
Pressed by EMI-Bovema Holland in 1977, this Netherlands Motown compilation carries the matrix 5C 038-98341-A/B and sits well below its UK counterpart (STMX 6001) in collector demand. The 10 copies currently listed at 2.49 USD or higher reflect a soft market: 186 collectors own it against only 10 who want it, a ratio that explains why even Mint copies fetch just 5.04 USD.
What drives its value
This pressing trades on condition more than rarity. A Mint copy reaches 5.04 USD, while a VG+ drops to 3.45 USD and VG falls to 2.39 USD—a steep slide that punishes wear on a budget compilation.
The lowest asking price sits at 2.49 USD with 10 copies on offer, signaling soft liquidity. The 186 collectors who own it vastly outnumber the 10 seeking one, typical of a reissue with limited collectible cachet.
The Netherlands pressing holds no premium over the 1977 UK edition; both are post-original-release variants. Value hinges entirely on finding a buyer willing to pay above the floor; most transactions likely cluster near the 2.49 USD mark.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 5C 038-98341 on the front cover and spine. The dead-wax runout must read either 5C 038-98341-A (side one) or 5C 038-98341-B (side two).
The label should credit Motown and note Netherlands manufacture. EMI-Bovema Holland is the sole pressing plant for this edition.
The 12-track stereo compilation contains no barcode. Grade by vinyl surface condition: Mint (5.04 USD) means unplayed; NM (4.51 USD) allows only light handling marks; VG+ (3.45 USD) shows light surface noise but plays cleanly; VG (2.39 USD) exhibits moderate groove wear and audible crackle.
Sleeves on budget reissues often show foxing or edge wear; note these separately from vinyl grade.

Frequently asked
What is this pressing worth in VG+ condition?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 3.45 USD according to the price guide. This represents the midpoint between NM (4.51 USD) and VG (2.39 USD), reflecting light surface noise and minor handling marks but no skip or distortion.
How does the Netherlands pressing compare to the UK STMX 6001?
Both are 1977 Motown reissues, but the UK pressing (STMX 6001) typically commands higher collector interest. This Netherlands edition, pressed by EMI-Bovema Holland under catalogue 5C 038-98341, carries no premium and trades at the same floor price of 2.49 USD or lower.
Why is demand so low if 186 people own it?
The 10 want-to-have ratio indicates this is a common reissue with limited appeal beyond casual collectors. Motown compilations from 1977 were pressed widely for budget markets; ownership far exceeds active demand, keeping prices depressed.
What is the lowest price I should expect to pay?
The current market floor is 2.49 USD, with 10 copies listed at or near that price. Mint copies (5.04 USD) are rare; most sales occur in the VG to VG+ range (2.39 to 3.45 USD).
How do I verify I have the correct pressing?
Check the catalogue number 5C 038-98341 on the cover and label. Examine the dead-wax runout on the vinyl itself—it must read 5C 038-98341-A or 5C 038-98341-B. The label should state EMI-Bovema Holland as the pressing plant. No barcode appears on this edition.
