About this record
La Voce Del Padrone catalogue RQ 3081 pressed this 7-inch 45 RPM reissue in Italy during 1958, stamping the dead wax with matrix codes 7XBA 390 I and 7XBA 391 I dated 24.6.958 to mark the pressing plant and date. The two-track pairing of L'Arlesiana and L'Elisir D'Amore features Beniamino Gigli alongside Francesco Cilea and Gaetano Donizetti material, yet demand sits at zero want against 8 collectors who own copies, signaling a niche classical 45 with limited collector momentum.
What drives its value
Price spreads sharply across condition grades: a Mint copy reaches 54.95 USD, while NM drops to 49.16 USD, VG+ settles at 37.59 USD, and VG falls to 26.03 USD. The lowest asking price among 10 copies for sale stands at 1.93 USD, reflecting the deep tail of worn stock.
This 1958 Italian reissue on La Voce Del Padrone carries no barcode, a marker of its age and original manufacturing. With 8 collectors holding copies and zero want entries, the record trades as a specialist's item rather than a sought reissue; its value depends entirely on condition grade rather than scarcity.
The VG+ to VG spread of 37.59 USD down to 26.03 USD shows that even minor wear cuts value sharply on classical vocal 45s.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the label La Voce Del Padrone and catalogue number RQ 3081 printed on the label. The dead-wax matrix codes 7XBA 390 I and 7XBA 391 I, both dated 24.6.958, appear stamped in the runout groove and identify the 1958 Italian pressing plant and session date.
The 7-inch 45 RPM format carries two tracks: L'Arlesiana on one side and L'Elisir D'Amore on the reverse. Absence of a barcode confirms original 1950s manufacture.
Grade the vinyl surface under bright light for hairline scratches and groove wear; classical vocal 45s in VG+ condition (37.59 USD) show minimal surface noise during playback, while VG copies (26.03 USD) exhibit light crackle between phrases. Check the label for foxing or water stains common to Italian pressings of this era.
Verify the spindle hole is not enlarged and the pressing is flat, not warped.
