About this record
The French RCA pressing of Western Giants (catalogue FCL1 7146, 1975) carries the dead-wax stamp FCL 1 7146 A4 and B4 with Y.D. plant initials, distinguishing it from the earlier 1966 Italian RCA Italiana original (PML 10414). Demand sits at 99 want against 476 have in the collector base, signalling moderate scarcity relative to ownership.
Twenty copies currently list for sale, with the lowest asking 1.95 USD, yet a Mint example commands 14.43 USD—a steep premium that reflects condition sensitivity on this 15-track Morricone compilation.
What drives its value
This 1975 French pressing trades on condition spread more than rarity. A Mint copy reaches 14.43 USD, while NM drops to 12.91 USD, VG+ to 9.87 USD, and VG to 6.83 USD—each grade marking a distinct market tier.
The 20 active listings at 1.95 USD low suggest bulk stock or heavily played copies dominate supply. The want-to-have ratio of 99 to 476 indicates the title holds steady collector interest without acute shortage; it is a reissue of the 1966 Italian original, so the French pressing carries secondary-market status.
Soundtrack compilations of this era typically appreciate only when original pressings or rare variants surface; this French edition remains a budget entry point to Morricone's Western work.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number FCL1 7146 on the front cover and label. The dead-wax runout should read FCL 1 7146 A4 on side one and FCL 1 7146 B4 on side two, with Y.D. plant initials stamped in the run-out groove.
The label is RCA, printed for the French market in 1975. No barcode appears on this edition.
The 15-track sequence and Modern Classical/Soundtrack styling distinguish it from later reissues. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline marks and the sleeve for foxing or edge wear; a Mint example shows no play wear, while VG+ permits light surface marks audible only under magnification.
The absence of a barcode and the Y.D. plant code confirm the original 1970s French pressing rather than a later reissue.

Frequently asked
How does the 1975 French pressing compare to the 1966 Italian original?
The Italian RCA Italiana original (PML 10414, 1966) is the first edition. This French RCA pressing (FCL1 7146, 1975) is a licensed reissue for the French market, pressed nine years later. The Italian pressing typically commands higher collector value due to age and original-release status; the French edition serves as a more affordable entry to the same soundtrack material.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 9.87 USD. This represents a record with light surface marks and minimal play wear, playable without audible distortion. The estimate reflects market data as of the guide date and may vary based on actual sales.
Why is there such a gap between Mint and VG prices?
A Mint copy is listed at 14.43 USD while VG sits at 6.83 USD. Soundtrack compilations in pristine condition appeal to collectors seeking archival quality; played copies lose appeal faster because the music is readily available on reissue. The 20 active listings at 1.95 USD suggest many copies in circulation are heavily worn, making unplayed stock disproportionately valuable.
How many copies are currently for sale?
Twenty copies are listed across the market at the time of this guide. The lowest asking price is 1.95 USD, indicating significant stock at budget tier. This supply level suggests the pressing is not scarce, though the want count of 99 against 476 have shows steady collector demand.
How do I verify this is the correct French pressing?
Check the catalogue number FCL1 7146 on the label and cover. Examine the dead-wax runout: side one should read FCL 1 7146 A4 and side two FCL 1 7146 B4, with Y.D. plant initials. The label must read RCA and be printed for France. The absence of a barcode confirms the 1975 vintage. These markers distinguish it from the 1966 Italian original and later reissues.
