About this record
The dead wax carries two runout pairs that name the same session in different ways: PRRS-4853 89 and PRRS-4854 97S on one side, with LSC 2726 PRRS. 4853 and LSC 2726 PRRS.
4854 written out in full beside them. Those matrix strings are the first thing to check, because they tie this copy to a specific RCA Victor Red Seal stereo cut rather than to a generic reissue.
Chopin Waltzes by Arthur Rubinstein, issued in the US in 1964 under catalogue number LSC-2726, runs to 14 tracks on a single stereo LP.
What drives its value
The price guide gives a clear ladder for this pressing: a Mint copy is listed at 23.20 USD, Near Mint at 20.76, VG+ at 15.87, VG at 10.99, and Good Plus at 6.11. Because the guide runs down to Poor at 1.22, a buyer can see how steeply value falls once surface wear and groove damage set in.
The market snapshot shows 37 copies currently for sale, with the cheapest offered at 3.56 USD, a figure that reflects copies below VG rather than the top of the range. Demand is modest but present: 539 community members have the record and 31 want it.
Within the release history, this is the original 1964 US pressing carrying the Red Seal label, and that original status is what sets it apart from later reissues that trade at lower values.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the dead wax before anything else. The original stereo cut is identified by the runout strings PRRS-4853 89 and PRRS-4854 97S, with the fuller LSC 2726 PRRS.
4853 and LSC 2726 PRRS. 4854 markings running alongside them.
Check that the catalogue number LSC-2726 appears on the spine and labels, and that the label reads RCA Victor Red Seal. The record carries no barcode, so you cannot use a barcode lookup to confirm it; rely on the matrix and catalogue details instead.
Grade the copy by playing both sides and listening for surface noise across the full 14 tracks, then compare the result against the VG+, VG and Near Mint lines in the price guide.
