About this record
The matrix runout S 302 592 A / S 302 592 B / S 302 593 A / S 302 593 B identifies this 1985 Ariola pressing of Hits 85, a 30-track European compilation spanning synth-pop, Euro-Disco, and pop rock. Printed in Western Germany by TOPAC in Gütersloh, the gatefold sleeve carries the Ariola Eurodisc copyright and the catalogue number 302 594.
Demand sits at 76 want against 830 have in the collector base, signalling a mid-tier title with steady but not urgent interest.
What drives its value
This pressing trades on condition spread and availability. A Mint copy reaches 21.03 USD, while a VG+ sits at 14.39 USD and a VG at 9.96 USD—a steep drop that reflects the wear typical of 1985 compilations in heavy rotation.
The lowest asking price across 13 active listings is 6.89 USD, anchoring the floor for worn copies. As a European Ariola release rather than an original pressing variant, it occupies the mid-market: common enough that 830 collectors own one, yet specific enough in its TOPAC pressing plant attribution and West German manufacture to hold appeal to format completists.
The 4.09 rating from 70 votes suggests consistent playback quality across the sample, supporting stable pricing in VG+ and VG grades.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 302 594 (or 302 594-503 on the spine) and the four-part matrix sequence S 302 592 A, S 302 592 B, S 302 593 A, and S 302 593 B stamped in the dead wax of each side. The gatefold sleeve must credit TOPAC, Gesellschaft für Tonträger-Verpackung mbH, Gütersloh as the printer, with the Ariola Eurodisc GmbH copyright dated 1985.
A barcode is present. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: Mint (M) shows no visible wear; Near Mint (NM) permits only faint dust; VG+ allows light surface marks but no audible ticks; VG permits light scratches and occasional pops.
The 30 tracks span four sides, so check that all four runout codes are legible and that the gatefold hinges remain intact.

Frequently asked
What is this pressing worth in VG+ condition?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 14.39 USD. This estimate reflects the mid-tier condition where light surface marks are visible but playback remains clean. Actual sales may vary; the lowest asking price across current listings is 6.89 USD, typically for lower grades.
How do I identify the TOPAC pressing plant on this record?
The gatefold back cover states 'Printed in Western Germany by TOPAC, Gesellschaft für Tonträger-Verpackung mbH, Gütersloh.' This credit is the definitive marker of this pressing. The four-part matrix runout (S 302 592 A, S 302 592 B, S 302 593 A, S 302 593 B) further confirms the pressing plant attribution.
Is this a rare record?
No. The community database shows 830 collectors own this pressing against only 76 who want it, indicating it is readily available. The 13 copies currently for sale at 6.89 USD and above reinforce that supply exceeds demand. It is a common 1985 compilation title.
What is the price difference between Mint and VG condition?
A Mint copy is priced at 21.03 USD; a VG copy at 9.96 USD. The gap reflects the sensitivity of 1985 compilations to handling wear. Condition grading is critical on this title because the price_guide shows steep drops across the scale from M through VG.
Does this record have a barcode?
Yes, a barcode is present on the gatefold sleeve. The catalogue number 302 594 (or 302 594-503) appears on the spine and cover, and the four-part matrix runout is stamped in the dead wax of the vinyl itself.
