About this record
This 1968 French 7-inch 45 RPM EP on Barclay catalogue 71 307 carries the matrix stamps BLY 71307 A2 and BLY 71307 B2 in the dead wax, marking it as a Barclay pressing of Hugues Aufray's chanson track. The 30 copies currently listed for sale sit against 351 collectors who own one and only 9 who want it, a ratio that signals modest but steady collector interest in this three-track release.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this EP. A Mint copy commands 8.66 USD, while the same record in NM condition drops to 7.75 USD—a narrow gap that reflects the scarcity of truly flawless examples.
VG+ copies trade at 5.93 USD, and VG specimens at 4.10 USD, showing the steep depreciation once play wear appears. The lowest asking price across the 30 active listings is 1.29 USD, indicating that heavily played or damaged copies flood the market floor.
As a French domestic pressing from the Barclay catalogue, this EP holds no premium over other European pressings of the same era; its value rests entirely on condition and the collector's attachment to Aufray's chanson repertoire rather than rarity or pressing variant.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the Barclay label imprint and catalogue number 71 307 printed on the label. Check the dead-wax runout for the matrix stamps BLY 71307 A2 (side A) and BLY 71307 B2 (side B), which confirm the Barclay pressing plant source.
The EP contains 3 tracks across the two sides. No barcode appears on this 1968 release, which is consistent with Barclay's labeling practice of the period.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under strong light: Mint copies show no visible wear, NM copies display only light handling marks invisible during play, VG+ copies show light surface marks but no audible distortion, and VG copies exhibit noticeable groove wear that produces occasional crackle. The 7-inch format and 45 RPM speed are standard for this EP configuration.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number and how do I find it?
The catalogue number is 71 307, printed on the Barclay label. It appears as a single identifier on both the A and B sides of the 7-inch sleeve or label.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 5.93 USD. This represents an estimate as of the guide's publication date and reflects typical asking prices for copies in that condition across the market.
What do the matrix stamps BLY 71307 A2 and BLY 71307 B2 tell me?
These stamps in the dead wax confirm the record was pressed at the Barclay pressing plant and identify it as the A2 and B2 stamper versions. The 'BLY' prefix is Barclay's plant code, and the numbers match the catalogue. The '2' suffix indicates these are second-generation stampers, not first pressings.
How many copies are actively for sale, and what is the lowest price?
30 copies are currently listed for sale across the market. The lowest asking price is 1.29 USD, typically for copies in poor or fair condition with significant play wear.
Is this a rare record?
No. The community data shows 351 collectors own this EP against only 9 who want it, indicating it is common in collections. The 30 active listings confirm steady supply. Rarity is not a value driver for this pressing.
