About this record
Demand outpaces supply on this 1982 Brazilian private pressing: 19 collectors want it against only 13 who own one. Alaor Macedo's Madeira De Lei arrived as a self-released 7-inch 33⅓ RPM single with no barcode and catalogue Copy-001, marking it as a one-off or micro-run artifact rather than a commercial release.
Only 2 copies are listed for sale across all platforms, with the lowest asking price at 9.88 USD—a signal that even worn stock moves slowly, yet Mint copies command 75.02 USD.
What drives its value
This pressing sits in a steep condition-dependent market. A Mint copy trades at 75.02 USD, while NM drops to 67.12 USD—a 7.90 USD swing that reflects how fragile original pressings from small Brazilian runs have become.
VG+ copies hold 51.33 USD, VG at 35.53 USD, and G+ at 19.74 USD. The want-to-have ratio of 19 to 13 signals persistent collector interest despite scarcity: only 2 copies currently for sale suggests long gaps between listings.
As an unissued private pressing with no barcode and no major label backing, Madeira De Lei lacks the reissue safety net that stabilizes value on official releases. The 4-track format and Latin-Pop genre appeal to both Brazilian music specialists and global diggers hunting obscure 1982 vinyl.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number Copy-001 stamped or printed on the label; the absence of a barcode is a key identifier of its private-run status. The 7-inch 33⅓ RPM format is unusual for a single and should be verified by measuring the disc and checking playback speed.
Grading hinges on groove wear and surface noise: a Mint copy shows no signs of play, NM permits only light handling marks, VG+ allows light surface noise on quiet passages, VG introduces audible crackle on side breaks, and G+ shows consistent background noise. The label itself—marked Not On Label—should display no corporate imprint, distributor code, or pressing plant attribution; its absence confirms the self-released status.
Check the dead wax for any matrix or plant code; if none appears, document that absence as part of the pressing's provenance.

Frequently asked
What is a Mint copy of Madeira De Lei worth?
According to the price guide, a Mint graded copy is valued at 75.02 USD. This figure represents the highest estimate and assumes no play wear, storage marks, or label damage. Actual sales may vary depending on buyer location and urgency.
How much cheaper is a VG+ copy than Mint?
A VG+ copy is priced at 51.33 USD in the guide, compared to 75.02 USD for Mint. VG+ permits light surface noise and minor handling marks but no audible defects during normal play.
Why are only 2 copies for sale when 13 collectors own one?
Owners of private Brazilian pressings from 1982 often hold stock for personal collections or local trade rather than list on international platforms. The 19 want signals against 13 have suggests many collectors are still searching; those who own copies may be reluctant to sell at current market rates or unaware of resale channels.
Does the lack of a barcode affect value?
Yes. The absence of a barcode confirms this is a private pressing rather than a commercial release, which limits its appeal to mainstream collectors but increases its desirability among specialists in Brazilian underground and DIY vinyl. It also makes authentication simpler—no barcode to verify or forge.
What does the 4-track format tell us about this release?
Four tracks on a 7-inch 33⅓ RPM single is a compact format typical of Brazilian independent releases in the early 1980s, allowing roughly 5–7 minutes per side. This format was economical for self-released runs and suggests Madeira De Lei was intended for local distribution or radio airplay rather than mass retail.
