About this record
Stamped in the dead wax as AC 200 6349 394 A1 LR and AC 200 6349 394 B1 LR, this 1978 pressing came from Companhia Brasileira De Discos Phonogram, the Brazilian Philips affiliate. The catalogue number 6349 394 identifies this as the original domestic Brazilian release, not a later reissue.
Demand among collectors runs strong: 646 want it against 2692 who own one, a ratio that keeps prices firm across all conditions.
What drives its value
A Mint copy of this Philips 6349 394 pressing commands 58.42 USD, while NM drops to 52.27 USD and VG+ settles at 39.97 USD. The VG grade sits at 27.67 USD, marking a steep fall-off as wear accumulates on the original Brazilian pressing.
With 45 copies currently for sale and a lowest asking price of 1.01 USD, the market shows wide scatter between dealer stock and bulk-lot pricing. The 203 community ratings average 4.23, reflecting strong collector regard for this MPB title.
Original 1978 Philips pressings from Companhia Brasileira De Discos Phonogram hold their value better than later reissues because the first run captured the intended mastering and pressing quality before cost-cutting measures took hold on subsequent editions.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the pressing plant by examining the dead-wax runout: the matrix AC 200 6349 394 A1 LR on side A and 2 [unknown symbol] AC 200 6349 394 B1 LR on side B confirm Companhia Brasileira De Discos Phonogram production. The catalogue number 6349 394 appears on the spine and label.
This 1978 release carries no barcode, a hallmark of Brazilian Philips pressings from that era. The 12-track sequence and MPB style match the original domestic issue.
Grade by examining both sides: Mint means no visible wear, NM shows only light handling marks, VG+ allows light surface noise and minor scratches, and VG exhibits moderate wear but plays through without skipping. The runout symbols and pressing plant name in the dead wax are the definitive markers; label wear alone does not indicate a different pressing.
