About this record
This 1959 RCA Red Seal pressing of Pops Christmas Party carries the original "Living Stereo" Deep Groove label with the Shaded Dog logo—a hallmark of RCA's earliest stereo releases. The catalogue number LSC-2329 identifies it as a US domestic issue, and the release notes flag a label variant tied to track A5 that separates pressings within this title.
Only 2 copies are currently listed for sale across the market at 8.98 USD or higher, while 247 collectors own one against 65 who want it.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this 1959 stereo pressing. A Mint copy fetches 21.85 USD, while NM drops to 19.55 USD—a narrow gap that reflects the rarity of truly unplayed stock.
The VG+ tier sits at 14.95 USD, and VG copies trade at 10.35 USD, marking the point where surface wear and groove damage begin to erode value sharply. Below VG, prices collapse: G+ is 5.75 USD, G is 3.45 USD.
The current floor of 8.98 USD suggests active listings are in the VG to VG+ range. With only 2 copies for sale and a want-to-have ratio of 65 to 247, this title holds steady collector interest without acute scarcity.
Its status as an original Living Stereo pressing with the Deep Groove variant commands a premium over later reissues, though the holiday-classical hybrid genre limits appeal to a narrower audience than pure orchestral or pop releases.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the RCA Red Seal label, catalogue number LSC-2329, and the stereo format designation. The release notes specify an original "Living Stereo" pressing identifiable by the Deep Groove label and Shaded Dog logo at the top of the label.
A key variant marker appears on track A5—examine the label printing on that track position to distinguish this pressing from other LSC-2329 variants. The 19-track count and Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra are consistent across all pressings of this title.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under strong light for hairline scratches, scuffs, and dust particles; listen for surface noise during quiet passages and any tracking distortion in the stereo channels. The Deep Groove pressing is prone to label wear and ring wear on the jacket, so inspect both sides of the cover for foxing and discoloration typical of 1959 stock.

Frequently asked
What is this record worth in VG+ condition?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is estimated at 14.95 USD. This grade assumes light surface marks visible under bright light, minimal groove wear, and clean playback with only occasional light surface noise in quiet passages.
How much more is a Mint copy than a VG copy?
A Mint copy is priced at 21.85 USD in the guide, while a VG copy is 10.35 USD. The difference reflects the rarity of unplayed stock and the collector premium for original Living Stereo pressings in near-perfect condition.
What makes this pressing different from other LSC-2329 releases?
This is the original 1959 RCA Victor Red Seal "Living Stereo" pressing with Deep Groove labels and the Shaded Dog logo. The release notes indicate a label variant tied to track A5 that distinguishes this from later pressings or reissues of the same catalogue number.
Why are only 2 copies listed for sale?
The current market snapshot shows 2 copies available at 8.98 USD or higher. This low inventory relative to the 247 collectors who own one suggests steady circulation among collectors rather than frequent turnover, typical of mid-tier holiday-classical titles from the 1950s.
Is this a stereo or mono pressing?
This is a stereo pressing, as indicated by the format description and the "Living Stereo" designation on the label. The 1959 date and RCA Red Seal catalogue number LSC-2329 confirm it is an original stereo release, not a later mono reissue.
