About this record
Pathé Marconi pressed this French Trianon 10-inch in mono at its Chatou plant, stamping the dead wax with the matrix XBE 41 and XBE 10.001 to distinguish each side. The release pairs Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue with Addinsell's Concerto de Varsovie under Wilhelm Schüchter's direction—a two-track format that would later expand to three tracks when Trianon reissued the work on 12 inches.
What drives its value
This 10-inch mono pressing sits at the lower end of the classical reissue market. A Mint copy reaches 5.67 USD, while a NM example holds 5.07 USD; the gap widens sharply toward played copies, with VG+ at 3.88 USD and VG dropping to 2.68 USD.
Condition is the primary driver: even a G+ copy falls to 1.49 USD. The French origin and Pathé Marconi manufacture anchor its identity, but scarcity data is limited—only one collector currently owns a copy against zero active want requests.
The later 12-inch reissue, which adds a third track, may suppress demand for this shorter edition among listeners seeking completeness, though the 10-inch format itself appeals to collectors of compact classical pressings.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Trianon catalogue number 5112 and the fully laminated 10-inch sleeve with back flaps. The Pathé Marconi, Chatou plant identification is stamped in the dead wax: look for XBE 41 and XBE 41 21 M3 194487 on the first side, and XBE 10.001 and XBE 10001 21 B M3 194629 on the reverse.
No barcode is present. Grade by examining the laminate for lifting or edge wear, and inspect the vinyl surface under strong light for hairline scratches that are common on French pressings of this era.
Play-grading is essential: listen for surface noise during the quieter passages of Addinsell's concerto, where mono pressings often reveal pressing flaws or wear. The stamped run-outs confirm original production rather than a later reissue.

Frequently asked
How much is this 10-inch Trianon pressing worth?
A Mint copy is estimated at 5.67 USD; a NM copy at 5.07 USD. These are price-guide estimates as of the guide's publication date and reflect the low absolute value typical of mid-catalogue classical reissues. Actual sales may vary based on buyer location and sleeve condition.
What is the difference between this 10-inch and the later 12-inch reissue?
This 10-inch edition contains only Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Addinsell's Concerto de Varsovie. The later 12-inch reissue adds three more tracks, making it more complete for listeners seeking the full program. Collectors of compact formats may prefer the 10-inch, while those prioritizing content often seek the 12-inch.
Is a VG+ copy worth buying at 3.88 USD?
At 3.88 USD for VG+, this pressing is affordable even in better condition. The price reflects modest collector demand—only one person currently owns a copy—and the limited appeal of a two-track reissue. For classical enthusiasts, the cost is negligible; the decision hinges on sleeve condition and whether you prefer the compact 10-inch format.
How do I verify this is a Pathé Marconi pressing and not a counterfeit or variant?
Check the dead wax for the Pathé Marconi, Chatou plant stamp alongside the matrix codes XBE 41 / XBE 41 21 M3 194487 on side one and XBE 10.001 / XBE 10001 21 B M3 194629 on side two. These stamped run-outs are definitive; printed or unclear markings suggest a later reissue or pressing variant. The fully laminated 10-inch sleeve with back flaps is also a key identifier.
Why is there no barcode on this record?
Barcodes were not standard on vinyl records pressed in France during the era this was manufactured. The absence of a barcode is consistent with original Trianon pressings from Pathé Marconi and does not indicate age or authenticity issues; it is simply the manufacturing practice of the time and plant.
