About this record
CBS Portugal catalogue 25594 pressed this 1983 compilation with 14 tracks spanning rock, funk, soul, pop, and folk—a format rarely seen outside Iberian markets. The want-to-have ratio of 9 collectors seeking it against 126 who own one signals a stable, unglamorous title that surfaces regularly but holds modest collector interest.
The 3.45 rating from 11 community votes reflects mixed regard for the selection and pressing quality.
What drives its value
This Portuguese CBS pressing trades on availability rather than scarcity. With 126 copies in collector hands against only 9 active want-list entries, supply comfortably exceeds demand—a dynamic that suppresses secondary-market prices.
The 1983 date and domestic Portuguese release mean it competes with international compilations of the same era rather than commanding a regional premium. Condition variance matters more than rarity here: a collector evaluating purchase must weigh whether the 14-track selection justifies acquisition over better-known compilations from the same labels and year.
The catalogue number 25594 appears infrequently in price guides, suggesting thin transaction history and wide condition-based pricing swings.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the CBS label imprint and confirm catalogue number 25594 on the spine and label. The 1983 date should appear on the label; absence flags a reissue or misattribution.
Count the 14 tracks on the back cover and match them to the runout groove—any deviation suggests a different pressing or variant. The Portuguese market release means the cover text and any liner notes will be in Portuguese or multilingual; English-only sleeves indicate a different territory.
Examine the dead wax for a pressing plant identifier; CBS Portugal often used different facilities than their UK or US counterparts, and plant codes help confirm origin. The absence of a barcode on the original 1983 pressing is typical; if a barcode appears, the copy is a later reissue.
Grade by surface noise under magnification and stylus drag during play-through of side two, where wear accumulates fastest on compilations.

Frequently asked
How many copies of this pressing are in circulation?
Community data shows 126 collectors have reported owning it, making it a moderately common 1983 Portuguese pressing. This count reflects only registered users; actual circulation is likely higher but untracked.
Is this pressing valuable or rare?
No. The 9 active want-list entries against 126 have entries indicate low collector demand relative to supply. It is a stable, unglamorous title that appears regularly in Portuguese record shops and online lots rather than commanding premium prices.
What does the catalogue number 25594 tell me?

Why does the 1983 date matter for this compilation?
