About this record
Stamped in the dead wax, the runouts GSDM 23 - A and GSDM 23 - B mark this Italian LP as a Nova Press pressing for Gruppo Editoriale Fabbri in 1983. The sleeve is a gatefold with an 8-page booklet attached inside, and the release was marked Non in vendita, meaning it was not offered for sale through regular retail.
Its 8 tracks pair Palestrina's Missa Tu es Petrus with motets, conducted by Gerhard Schmidt-Gaden with the Tölzer Knabenchor.
What drives its value
The price guide gives this copy a Mint value of 12.28 USD, falling to 10.98 for Near Mint, 8.40 for VG+, and 5.81 for VG, so the spread from Mint down to VG is driven almost entirely by surface and sleeve grade. The lowest current listing is 5.84 USD, and 4 copies are for sale at the time of the snapshot, a thin supply for a Fabbri part-work issue.
Demand is modest but real: 28 collectors have the record in their collections against 2 who want it. Because the release was Non in vendita and sold through the Fabbri Documenti Sonori series rather than as a standalone catalogue item, the value depends less on a rarity premium than on whether a buyer finds a complete copy with the booklet intact.
The facts provided do not list any other pressings, so there is no original-versus-reissue comparison to draw on here.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the dead-wax runouts: GSDM 23 - A on side one and GSDM 23 - B on side two, with the label reading Gruppo Editoriale Fabbri and the catalogue number GSdM 23 on the sleeve. The pressing plant credited in the data is Nova Press, so look for that name in the run-out area or on the label.
The release carries no barcode, which is consistent with a 1983 Italian issue, so its absence is not a red flag. Check that the gatefold opens cleanly and that the 8-page booklet is attached inside; a copy missing the booklet will sit below the complete-set prices quoted in the guide.
Grade the vinyl by playing it under good light and noting any playback noise, then grade the sleeve and insert separately, since the gatefold and booklet often carry more wear than the disc itself.
