About this record
The dead-wax matrix PPRS-2932-10S and PPRS-2933-8S identifies this as a 1963 RCA Victor stereo pressing, distinct from the 1965 mono reissue (LPM-2733) that followed. Al Hirt's Honey In The Horn was recorded across two RCA facilities—the Nashville Sound Studio for most tracks and Studio A in New York for the opening and fourth cuts—a split that reflects the label's hybrid production approach in the early 1960s.
Demand remains modest: 27 collectors want it against 2,123 who own one, keeping prices accessible for Dixieland jazz buyers.
What drives its value
This 1963 original stereo pressing holds its value primarily through its status as the first issue in the catalogue LSP 2733 series. The price_guide does not provide a specific spread for this title, so condition and pressing plant verification become the chief value drivers.
With 2,123 copies in collector hands against only 27 active want-list entries, supply far outpaces demand, which typically suppresses secondary-market prices for non-rare pressings. The 1965 mono reissue (LPM-2733) exists as a lower-tier alternative, making the original stereo's sonic advantage the primary collector incentive.
Dixieland jazz from this era attracts a niche audience; Hirt's commercial success in 1963 means copies circulate regularly, preventing scarcity premiums. Grading and pressing-plant consistency will determine final value more than rarity.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the RCA Victor catalogue number LSP 2733 (the 'LSP' prefix denotes stereo; the 1965 reissue uses LPM, indicating mono). Examine the dead-wax runout on both sides: Side A should read PPRS-2932-10S CC, and Side B should read PPRS-2933-8S C2.
These matrix codes are specific to this 1963 stereo pressing and will not appear on the later mono version. The label should display RCA Victor's 1963-era design with the 'Nipper' dog logo and stereo notation.
No barcode was applied to 1963 pressings. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under bright light for hairline scratches, warp, and groove wear; listen for surface noise during quiet passages and tonal clarity in Hirt's trumpet work.
The 12-track sequence and recording notes (Nashville Sound Studio plus New York Studio A sessions) help verify authenticity against bootlegs or alternate issues.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this 1963 stereo pressing from the 1965 mono reissue?
Check the catalogue number on the spine and label. This original is LSP 2733 (stereo); the reissue is LPM 2733 (mono). Examine the dead-wax runout: PPRS-2932-10S CC on Side A and PPRS-2933-8S C2 on Side B confirm the 1963 stereo pressing. The 1965 mono will have different matrix codes. Stereo copies will also show 'Stereo' printed on the label; mono copies will not.
What is the typical asking price for this record?
The price_guide for this specific pressing does not provide a lowest, VG+, or Mint estimate, so no single market price can be quoted. Value depends on condition grade, pressing-plant consistency, and local demand. Check active sales on eBay or Discogs for current listings of LSP 2733 in your target condition to establish a realistic range.
Why does this pressing split recording locations between Nashville and New York?
RCA Victor operated major recording studios in both cities. The release notes confirm that tracks A1 and A4 were recorded in Studio A, New York, while the remaining 10 tracks came from the Nashville Sound Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. This split reflects the label's practice of using different facilities for different sessions or artists, not an error or reissue marker.
How many people collect this record compared to how many want it?
Community data shows 2,123 collectors have this record and 27 want it. That 27-to-2,123 ratio indicates a well-supplied title with low active demand, typical of a commercially successful 1963 release that did not become scarce. This surplus keeps prices from climbing.
Is Dixieland jazz from 1963 still sought after by collectors?
Yes, but selectively. This title carries a community rating of 3.7 out of 5 across 97 ratings, suggesting moderate appreciation among Dixieland fans and Al Hirt enthusiasts. The modest want-list count (27) reflects a niche rather than mainstream collector base. Original stereo pressings like LSP 2733 appeal to audiophiles and jazz purists, but the genre does not command the premium prices of bebop or modal jazz from the same era.
