About this record
Columbia Masterworks M2S 608 identifies this US stereo LP as a reissue, rather than an edition documented here as an original. The credit joins Bruno Walter with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra for Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, “Choral”; the supplied facts give no release year, pressing plant, or runout string.
What drives its value
The price guide places M copies at $38.56, NM at $34.50, VG+ at $26.38, and VG at $18.26, with lower grades listed from $10.15 for G+ to $2.03 for P. These are condition-specific guide estimates, not confirmed sale prices.
The current listing snapshot shows 10 copies for sale and a lowest price of $0.89, which is a separate asking-price signal rather than a condition-matched valuation. Community figures show 63 owners against 8 people seeking the record, so recorded ownership exceeds recorded want.
As a US reissue on Columbia Masterworks, M2S 608 should be valued as that specific reissue, not assumed to carry the status or price of an original pressing; the supplied data does not identify an original’s catalogue number or comparative value.
How to appraise this pressing
Start by matching the Columbia Masterworks label and catalogue number M2S 608, then confirm the copy is the US stereo LP described as a reissue. The record credits Bruno Walter and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, and the title identifies Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, “Choral.” No year, plant, or dead-wax matrix is supplied, so do not use an unverified runout or plant claim to authenticate it; compare the actual label and dead wax with a documented M2S 608 copy if more precise pressing identification is needed.
Grade the copy consistently with the guide’s separate M, NM, VG+, VG, G+, G, F, and P categories, and describe any mismatch between the record’s condition and its stated grade. The price guide provides estimates by grade, while the $0.89 lowest listing is not tied to a stated grade.
