About this record
The runout tells the story first: PL 30026-A and PL 30026-B are etched into the dead wax, while the words Manufactured in Germany PF are stamped rather than etched, a split that identifies this Teldec-Press and RCA Schallplatten GmbH pressing. Across 18 tracks, ...Dat Matscht So Schön carries the 1977 copyright line (℗ 1977) and an RCA Victor-era label, and the back cover prints the live recording credit for the Rüssl Studio in Hamburg.
Demand is measurable: 1413 collectors have it in their collection and 30 want it, with 83 copies currently listed for sale.
What drives its value
The price guide puts an M copy at 10.32 USD, NM at 9.24, VG+ at 7.06, VG at 4.89, G+ at 2.72, G at 1.63, F at 1.09 and P at 0.54, so the value moves from 0.54 up to 10.32 depending almost entirely on surface condition. The lowest current listing is 0.99 USD, and 83 copies are for sale, which means a buyer has real choice and a seller competes with the low end of that range.
Community data shows 1413 have and 30 want, so the record is held far more often than it is sought, which keeps upside limited unless a near-mint sleeve and disc are present. Because the facts list only this German RCA release, the pressing's position among other_pressings does not change the figures quoted here; compare any other copy against the same runout and catalogue number before assuming parity in price.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the dead wax before anything else. The etched runouts read PL 30026-A and PL 30026-B, and the stamped line reads RCA PL-30026-A Manufactured in Germany PF on side one and the B-side equivalent on side two.
Check that the catalogue number PL 30026 appears on both labels and the spine or cover, and that the label reads RCA Victor or RCA with the Made By RCA Schallplatten GmbH, Hamburg text. Look for the matrix markings under strong raking light because the stamped German manufacturing mark is easy to miss on a worn record.
The plant credits for RCA Schallplatten GmbH and Teldec-Press GmbH should match the back cover and label text. Grade the disc visually and by playback: an M or NM grade means no audible surface noise on either side, while VG or lower shows wear that affects the playback and the price you should expect.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of ...Dat Matscht So Schön worth?
The price guide lists a VG+ copy at 7.06 USD, which is an estimate from the guide rather than a sold price, and it sits between NM at 9.24 and VG at 4.89.
How do I confirm this is the German RCA pressing?
Check the dead wax for etched PL 30026-A and PL 30026-B and the stamped Manufactured in Germany PF line, and confirm the Made By RCA Schallplatten GmbH, Hamburg text on the label and back cover.
What is the lowest price this record is listed at?
The current lowest listing is 0.99 USD, with 83 copies for sale, so the low end of the market is well below the 10.32 USD M-grade estimate.
Is a higher grade worth the difference?
An M copy is estimated at 10.32 USD and an NM copy at 9.24 USD, so the gap between those two top grades is modest compared with the drop to VG+ at 7.06 USD.
Why does this record have few collectors wanting it?
Community data shows 1413 owners and only 30 wanting it, so supply is held widely and demand is modest, which keeps prices tied to condition rather than scarcity.
