About this record
Music For Pleasure catalogue MFP 5605 pressed this 1972 French compilation in the Easy Listening–Jazz crossover market where supply vastly outpaces collector demand: 86 owners against only 3 want-list entries. The lowest asking price across 8 active listings sits at 1.9 USD, a floor that reflects the title's status as a mid-catalog reissue rather than an original pressing.
What drives its value
Condition dominates pricing on this 1972 French pressing. A Mint copy commands 4.33 USD, while NM drops to 3.88 USD—a modest 0.45 USD spread that tightens further at VG+ (2.96 USD) and VG (2.05 USD).
The 1.9 USD floor across 8 copies for sale signals weak collector urgency: the 86 owners dwarf the 3 want entries, indicating this compilation sits in many collections but attracts few active bids. Music For Pleasure's budget-label positioning and the lack of a barcode on this pressing place it outside the original-pressing premium tier.
The 12-track track count and Easy Listening classification anchor it to a niche audience, keeping even Mint examples well below 4.33 USD.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by the label imprint Music For Pleasure and catalogue number MFP 5605 on the front cover and label. The 1972 release date and France country-of-origin designation appear on the sleeve.
Verify the 12-track count against the back cover or label listing. Grade by surface condition: Mint (4.33 USD) shows no audible wear; NM (3.88 USD) exhibits only faint handling marks; VG+ (2.96 USD) displays light surface noise on quiet passages; VG (2.05 USD) introduces noticeable groove wear and background crackle.
Check the vinyl itself for hairline scratches, warp, or label damage. The absence of a barcode confirms the 1972 pressing window.
No matrix or runout string data is documented for this title, so rely on the label graphics and catalogue number as primary identifiers.
