About this record
Community data records 11 owners against 4 people who want Christoph Willibald Gluck’s Orfeo Ed Euridice, while the price guide places the German RCA Red Seal box at 36.10 USD in M condition. The RL 42256 catalogue family and four matching dead-wax sides, RL 42256-A through RL 42256-D, identify this pressing.
Its notes specify recording at RCA Italiana studios in Rome in June 1963 and ℗ 1966.
What drives its value
The condition guide runs from 36.10 USD for M through 32.30 USD for NM and 24.70 USD for VG+, then 17.10 USD for VG, 9.50 USD for G+, 5.70 USD for G, 3.80 USD for F and 1.90 USD for P. These are guide estimates, not confirmed sale prices.
The supplied snapshot gives no lowest offer or number for sale, so current listing scarcity cannot be established from these facts. Community data shows 11 have and 4 want; that records interest but does not establish sales frequency or how often clean copies surface.
This is a German RCA Red Seal pressing made by RCA Schallplatten GmbH, rather than an identified original or reissue comparison: the supplied facts list no other pressings. Its value should therefore be assessed against its own condition guide, not an unsupported comparison.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the German RCA Red Seal box by matching its catalogue details: RL 42256, RL 42256-1, RL 42256-2 and RL 42256-3. The four dead-wax strings should correspond to the listed sides RL 42256-A, RL 42256-B, RL 42256-C and RL 42256-D; the named plant is RCA Schallplatten GmbH.
The supplied facts report no barcode, so barcode matching cannot confirm this copy. Check that the set includes the 8-pages booklet with the libretto in Italian and German, a release detail that helps distinguish a complete set from one missing its booklet.
The notes say it was recorded at RCA Italiana studios in Rome in June 1963 and carry ℗ 1966; these dates describe the recording and phonogram notice, not a stated release year. Use the guide grades consistently: 24.70 USD is the VG+ estimate, while 17.10 USD is the VG estimate.
