About this record
Catalogue 27.001 A marks this as the first instalment in a five-record series of Fernandel narrating Alphonse Daudet stories, pressed by Decca in France in 1970. The dead-wax matrix 27001 A P1 and 27001 B P1 confirm this reissue, which differs from its counterpart by silver-painted labels and a vinyl-textured rear pocket rather than paper.
The phonographic copyright (P) 1955 credits Société Française du Son as manufacturer. Only 1 collector in the tracked community owns this 7-inch 45 RPM EP, with 0 want entries.
What drives its value
This 1970 Decca reissue occupies a narrow market niche: a French children's story EP with minimal recorded demand. The community snapshot shows 1 copy owned and 0 active want entries, indicating scarcity without collector momentum.
As the first of 5 records in the series, catalogue 27.001 holds sequence value for completists seeking the full Fernandel-Daudet cycle. The pressing plant attribution to Société Française du Son and the 1970 reissue date (constrained by ACEM copyright rules) distinguish it from earlier pressings.
Without price_guide data, market value remains opaque; rarity and series position suggest modest collector interest rather than speculative demand.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the catalogue number 27.001 A printed on the label and repeated in the dead-wax runout as 27001 A P1 (side A) and 27001 B P1 (side B). The label design—silver paint and modern finish—differentiates this 1970 reissue from the older blue-label variant.
Confirm the phonographic copyright marking (P) 1955 and the Société Française du Son manufacturing credit on the label. The 7-inch 45 RPM EP format carries 2 tracks.
The rear pocket texture (vinyl-like rather than paper) and label paint colour are the primary visual markers; the absence of a barcode is consistent with 1970 French pressing standards. Grading should account for the modern sleeve materials, which resist the paper deterioration visible on earlier copies.

Frequently asked
Is this the original 1955 Fernandel recording or a later reissue?
This is a 1970 reissue. The phonographic copyright (P) 1955 on the label indicates the recording date, but the catalogue 27.001 and the ACEM copyright rule confirm the vinyl was not pressed before 1970. The silver-painted labels and vinyl-textured rear pocket are modern design choices that distinguish this reissue from the earlier blue-label pressing.
What does the matrix 27001 A P1 tell me about this copy?
The runout matrix 27001 A P1 on side A and 27001 B P1 on side B confirm this is the Decca catalogue 27.001 pressing. The P1 suffix indicates the first pressing generation. The matrix is stamped in the dead wax and matches the catalogue number printed on the label, verifying authenticity and pressing plant origin.
How many records are in this series?
This is number 1 in a series of 5 records. Each instalment features Fernandel narrating a different story from Alphonse Daudet's Lettres De Mon Moulin. Collectors seeking the complete cycle must acquire all 5 catalogue numbers in the Decca sequence.
What is the difference between this 1970 pressing and the other Decca 27.001 release?
The 1970 reissue has silver-painted labels and a vinyl-textured rear pocket, both modern design choices. The earlier pressing features blue-painted labels and a paper rear pocket, which shows visible rip damage over time. The audio content is identical; the distinction is purely in sleeve and label materials.
Why does the label show the catalogue number twice on side A?
The label design repeats 27.001 A vertically on side A, and on side B it prints both 27.001 B and 27.001 A. This redundant labelling was a manufacturing convention for Decca's French EP series, ensuring catalogue identification remained visible even if one line wore or faded. It is not an error but a deliberate design feature of the 1970 pressing.
