About this record
The dead-wax matrix on this French 45 splits between two plant codes—Az SG 469 A and Az SG 469 B on the A-side, with SG 469 A DF and SG 469 B variants on the flip—a hallmark of Disc'Az's 1973 pressing run for C. Jérôme's chanson single.
Identifying the exact matrix string in your runout groove is the fastest way to confirm you hold the original issue rather than a later reissue, since no barcode was applied to this release.
What drives its value
This 7-inch single trades on rarity and French pop-chanson nostalgia rather than chart heat; 193 collectors own a copy against only 3 seeking one, a ratio that keeps prices modest. A Mint copy reaches 10.36 USD, while a VG+ sits at 7.09 USD and a VG at 4.91 USD—the steepest drop in value occurs below VG, where condition damage becomes audible on a 45 rpm pressing.
With 37 copies currently for sale and a lowest asking price of 0.16 USD, supply far exceeds demand, typical of regional French pop singles from the early 1970s. The Disc'Az label catalogue number SG 469 and the absence of a barcode confirm the original French domestic pressing; reissues and international variants command no premium.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Disc'Az label imprint and the catalogue number SG 469 printed on both label faces. Inspect the dead-wax runout groove on the A-side for either 'Az SG 469 A' or the variant 'SG 469 A DF'; the B-side will read 'Az SG 469 B' or 'SG 469 B'.
The absence of a barcode on the label is diagnostic of the 1973 original—later reissues typically added EAN codes. Grade by surface noise under headphones: a Mint copy is silent in passages, NM shows only faint crackle, VG+ permits light surface noise but no skip, VG allows moderate noise and light tracking distortion, and anything below VG exhibits audible pops or brief skips.
The thin 7-inch format is prone to warping; check for dish or edge lift by laying the record flat on a turntable platter before purchase.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this 1973 Disc'Az pressing apart from later reissues?
Read the matrix string in the dead-wax runout groove near the label center. This original pressing shows 'Az SG 469 A' or 'SG 469 A DF' on the A-side and 'Az SG 469 B' or 'SG 469 B' on the B-side. Reissues typically alter the matrix code or add a barcode; this 1973 original has neither barcode printed on the label nor a UPC sticker.
What is a VG+ copy worth, and how does it compare to Mint?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is estimated at 7.09 USD, while a Mint copy reaches 10.36 USD. The 3.27 USD difference reflects the audible difference: VG+ permits light surface noise in quiet passages, whereas Mint is silent. These are guide estimates and reflect the market as of the guide date; actual sales vary.
Why are there so many copies for sale if only 3 people want one?
C. Jérôme's 'La Petite Fille 73' was a regional French pop-chanson release with modest chart impact and a pressing run large enough to satisfy domestic demand. The 193 collectors who own one against 3 seeking it suggests the single is common in French record shops and estate sales. With 37 copies listed and a floor price of 0.16 USD, sellers are competing on volume rather than rarity.
What condition should I expect for the price I pay?
A VG copy, priced at 4.91 USD in the guide, will have moderate surface noise and light tracking distortion but will play without skipping. A G+ copy at 2.73 USD shows heavier wear and audible pops. Anything below G, priced at 1.64 USD or lower, risks playback issues. Since 45s are thin and prone to warping, inspect for dish before committing to a lower-grade purchase.
Does the catalogue number SG 469 tell me anything about the pressing plant?
The catalogue number SG 469 is Disc'Az's internal identifier for this title and does not encode the pressing plant. The matrix runout codes—'Az' prefix and variants like 'DF'—are the markers of the manufacturing facility. Without additional documentation, the matrix string is your only factory clue; cross-reference it with Disc'Az discographies if you need to confirm the specific plant.
