About this record
Pressed in Germany for the Acanta label, this 1977 LP carries the catalogue number EA 21.814 and a pressing plant credit to Bellaphon Germany, a combination that tells a buyer where to start verifying the copy in hand. Demand is modest but steady: 22 community members list it as owned against 14 who want it.
Only one track is listed, so the release works as a single-work LP of Debussy's Sonaten rather than a multi-side compilation.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this LP at 72.19 USD in Mint, 64.59 USD in Near Mint, 49.40 USD in VG+, and 34.20 USD in VG, with lower estimates of 19.00 USD for G+ and 11.40 USD for G. Because the spread runs from 72.19 USD at Mint down to 34.20 USD at VG, condition is the single biggest driver of what a sale will realise, far more than any difference between sellers.
No live lowest-price listing or copies-for-sale count is recorded in the data, so the guide figures are the only current benchmark. The copies-owned count of 22 against 14 wants suggests a niche classical following for this Impressionist programme.
The data does not list other pressings of this title, so there is no original-versus-reissue comparison to weigh against this German issue.
How to appraise this pressing
Start with the catalogue number EA 21.814 printed on the sleeve and label, and confirm it matches the Acanta release. The data does not supply a dead-wax matrix string for this pressing, so check the runout against the matrix recorded in a trusted reference rather than relying on a remembered code.
The Bellaphon Germany pressing plant credit is the second anchor: look for the plant identification in the trail-off area of side one or side two, and compare it with the plant mark for the Acanta German issue. Grade the disc under the standard Mint, Near Mint, VG+, VG, G+, G and F scale used by the price guide, judging surface and playback on side one and side two separately, since a single track per side can hide wear on the other face.
Record each grade against its guide figure before you agree a price.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of this LP worth?
The price guide lists a VG+ value of 49.40 USD for this Acanta pressing. This is an estimate as of the guide date and not a live sale price, so compare it with recent completed sales before setting a figure.
What is the difference between a Mint and a VG copy in price terms?
The guide runs from 72.19 USD at Mint to 34.20 USD at VG, so a buyer should grade carefully, because the gap between those two grades is the widest factor in what the record fetches.
How do I confirm this is the German Acanta pressing?
Match the catalogue number EA 21.814 on the sleeve and label, then look for the Bellaphon Germany plant identification in the runout area before accepting the release as the German issue.
Is this record in high demand?
The community data shows 22 members who have the release and 14 who want it, which points to a steady but niche collector interest rather than a scarce, heavily contested title.
What is the value of a G or poor copy?
The guide gives 11.40 USD for G and 3.80 USD for P, so a heavily worn copy is typically valued at a fraction of a clean one, and a seller should expect the lower end of the scale.
