About this record
This 1957 Deutsche Grammophon pressing carries the matrix stamps 17 063 A and 17 063 B in the dead wax, confirming production at the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft Pressing Plant in Germany. The 10-inch mono LP couples Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies with the Liebestraum and Gnomenreigen selections, performed by Julian Von Karolyi across four tracks.
Condition dramatically reshapes value here: a Mint copy commands 20.67 USD, but the market floor sits at 5.69 USD for copies currently available.
What drives its value
The price gradient on this pressing is steep and revealing. A Mint specimen reaches 20.67 USD, while NM drops to 18.50 USD—a modest shift that accelerates sharply once play wear enters the equation.
VG+ copies trade at 14.14 USD, and by VG the value halves to 9.79 USD. Six copies are currently listed for sale, with the lowest asking 5.69 USD, suggesting distressed inventory or heavily played stock.
Community ownership is modest: 58 collectors hold one, against only 6 seeking it, indicating this is a specialist's item rather than a chase record. As a 1957 German original on Deutsche Grammophon, it commands respect in the classical vinyl market, but supply outpaces active demand, keeping entry prices accessible for VG or lower grades.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number LPE 17 063 printed on the label and jacket. The matrix runout—read from the lead-out groove on each side—should show 17 063 A on side one and 17 063 B on side two, pressed at the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft facility.
The record is a 10-inch mono LP; check the label for the mono designation and measure the diameter to exclude 12-inch reissues. Grade by examining the playing surface under light: Mint means unplayed with pristine grooves and no dust; NM allows only microscopic marks inaudible during play.
VG+ shows light surface marks and faint background noise; VG exhibits obvious wear but remains listenable. Any audible crackle, groove damage, or visible scratches places it below VG.
The absence of a barcode confirms the 1957 vintage—barcodes were not standard on classical LPs of this era.

Frequently asked
What should I pay for a VG+ copy?
The price guide values a VG+ specimen at 14.14 USD as of the guide's survey date. This reflects the sweet spot between playability and rarity; VG+ copies show light handling but no structural damage. Six copies are currently for sale, so availability exists, though the lowest asking price (5.69 USD) suggests some may be lower-graded or in distressed sales.
Is this pressing rare?
No. Fifty-eight collectors own one, and six are listed for sale at any given time, indicating steady circulation. The want-to-have ratio (6 want, 58 have) is low, meaning this is not a sought-after variant. It is a legitimate 1957 Deutsche Grammophon original, but not scarce enough to command premium pricing.
What is the difference between a Mint and a VG copy in dollars?
A Mint copy is valued at 20.67 USD, while a VG copy is valued at 9.79 USD according to the price guide. The gap reflects the collector premium for unplayed condition; even light play and handling reduce value substantially on classical pressings where surface noise is unforgiving.
How do I verify this is the original 1957 pressing and not a reissue?
Check the matrix runout in the lead-out groove: it should read 17 063 A and 17 063 B. Confirm the label reads Deutsche Grammophon and the catalogue number is LPE 17 063. The pressing plant credit—Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft—should be visible on the label or jacket. Reissues typically carry different matrix codes or later pressing plant names.
Why is the lowest price (5.69 USD) so far below VG value (9.79 USD)?
The lowest-priced copy is likely graded Fair or Good, indicating significant play wear, surface noise, and possible groove damage. Sellers price aggressively to move heavily used stock. The price guide figures represent typical market values for each grade; outliers always exist, especially for records in poor condition or held by motivated sellers.
