About this record
The matrix tells the story first: the runouts read CBS 60253 A and CBS 60253 B, with etched codes 0I.60253-3A-I NL A and 0I-60253-2B-I NL A on the run-out grooves. Those NL suffixes are the detail to check before anything else on this 1983 UK and Europe pressing of Glenn Gould Plays Johann Sebastian Bach.
The front cover carries the full title in three languages, reading Gould plays / spielt / joue Bach - Italian Concerto, Preludes, Fugues, Etc, which is why the sleeve is catalogued under its complete name rather than a short title.
What drives its value
The price guide gives an M grade figure of 14.73 USD and a VG+ figure of 10.08 USD, falling to 6.98 USD at VG, so the spread runs from 14.73 USD for a Mint copy down to 6.98 USD for a VG copy. The market has 50 copies listed for sale, and the lowest asking price is 1.00 USD, which means the cheapest copies sell well below the guide.
Demand is modest: 239 community members have this release in their collection and 18 want it. The release is one of several pressings in the other_pressings list, and its UK and Europe origin with the CBS Masterworks label, catalogue CBS 60253, places it among the reissue-era copies rather than the first-issue run.
Condition and a verified matrix are what separate a top-of-guide copy from the bottom of the range.
How to appraise this pressing
Start with the label and catalogue number, which should read CBS 60253 on the spine and the sleeve. Next, read the dead wax on each side.
Side one should carry the stamped runout CBS 60253 A alongside the etched code 0I.60253-3A-I NL A, and side two should carry CBS 60253 B with 0I-60253-2B-I NL A. Compare the etched codes character by character, since a copy whose NL suffix or stamper numbers differ is not this pressing.
The sleeve should show the full title Gould plays / spielt / joue Bach - Italian Concerto, Preludes, Fugues, Etc on the front. Grade the record from the playing surface and the sleeve separately, using the price guide steps from P at 0.78 up to M at 14.73 as the reference for where a copy sits.
