About this record
The Indianapolis pressing of The First Family carries the matrix stamp "I" in the dead wax—a marker of the RCA Records Pressing Plant in Indianapolis—distinguishing it from other 1962 Cadence releases of this Vaughn Meader comedy album. Catalogue CLP-3060 on the label and jacket, with 17 tracks recorded in mono at Fine Recording studios in New York City on October 22, 1962, this variant lists speed as 33.3 RPM and uses smaller print on the label.
The runout strings NO9P-3072 and NO9P-3073 with the "I" stamp and plating letters (A1, B3, x A4) confirm the pressing plant origin.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire price structure on this 1962 comedy pressing. A Mint copy reaches 49.16 USD, while NM drops to 43.99 USD, VG+ to 33.64 USD, and VG to 23.29 USD—a steep decline that reflects how vinyl comedy records suffer from play wear and surface noise.
The lowest asking price sits at 0.16 USD, with 252 copies currently for sale across the market. Community ownership is deep: 2355 collectors have it against only 21 who want it, signaling saturation.
The Indianapolis RCA pressing (marked by the "I" in runouts) is a variant of the original Cadence release; its smaller label print and 33.3 RPM designation make it a secondary pressing rather than the first issue, which moderates collector demand despite the album's cultural moment.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by checking the label for catalogue number CLP-3060 (hyphenated on label, unhyphenated CLP 3060 on jacket spine). Examine the dead wax on both sides: Side A should read NO9P-3072 IND-1 CLP 3060 A RJM I B3, and Side B should read NO9P-3073 IND-1 CLP 3060 B RJM I x A4.
The "I" stamp denotes RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis. The label will show smaller print than earlier variants and explicitly list 33.3 RPM.
The front cover is textured and credits Bob Booker, Earle Doud, Vaughn Meader, Naomi Brossart, and Norma Macmillan; the spine reads "The First Family • Featuring Vaughn Meader." Grade by examining groove wear (VG+ copies show minimal surface noise; VG copies show light crackle on quiet passages) and jacket condition separately, as the textured cover is prone to edge scuffing.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between the Cadence CLP-3060 label variants?
The Indianapolis RCA pressing (this one) carries the "I" stamp in the runout and lists 33.3 RPM with smaller label print. Earlier Cadence pressings lack the "I" designation and use different matrix numbers. The runout strings NO9P-3072 and NO9P-3073 with the Indianapolis plant code confirm this variant.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 33.64 USD. This represents the midpoint between NM (43.99 USD) and VG (23.29 USD), reflecting typical play wear and light surface noise on a 1962 comedy record.
Why is there such a wide price gap between Mint and Good?
A Mint copy reaches 49.16 USD, but a Good copy drops to 7.76 USD—a steep fall driven by surface noise and groove wear that degrade comedy albums severely. Listeners of spoken-word records are sensitive to pops and crackle, making condition paramount to value on this pressing.
Is this the original 1962 pressing?
No. This is a variant pressing from 1962, identified by the RCA Indianapolis plant stamp ("I") and the 33.3 RPM designation on the label. The smaller print and matrix codes NO9P-3072 and NO9P-3073 mark it as a secondary run rather than the first Cadence release.
How many copies are on the market right now?
252 copies are currently listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 0.16 USD. Community data shows 2355 collectors own it and only 21 want it, indicating this pressing is readily available and not scarce.
