About this record
The release lists a playing time of 7:45 for track F8 on its original packaging, but the track actually runs 1:22, and that typo has spread through many online listings. CRL3-5820 is a 1975 US RCA Red Seal box set of Jean-Pierre Rampal playing Bach's solo flute works, and its catalogue number is the first thing to check against the sleeve.
Collectors should treat listings that quote the 7:45 figure with suspicion, since the error was copied from the original LP packaging.
What drives its value
Price is set by condition more than by scarcity. The price guide runs from 21.85 USD for a Mint copy, through 19.55 for Near Mint and 14.95 for VG+, down to 10.35 for VG, so a buyer paying for grade pays the full range from 10.35 up to 21.85.
Market supply is thin for a box set of this kind: 12 copies are listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 1.72. Community demand is steady, with 123 owners logged against 17 collectors who want the set, and a community rating of 4 from 8 votes.
The release is a US pressing on RCA Red Seal with its own catalogue CRL3-5820, and the release notes state the recordings are all new and licensed from Erato Records of France. Other pressings of the same material would be compared against this US edition, and the sleeve's program notes and the F8 timing error are the features buyers look for to tell this copy apart.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the exact pressing by reading the catalogue number CRL3-5820 on the spine and back cover, and check that the label reads RCA Red Seal. Confirm the 1975 date and US origin, and confirm that the packaging includes the program notes the release notes describe.
Check the playing time printed for track F8: the original packaging shows 7:45, which is the known typographic error, so a copy that matches that text is the original issue and not a later correction. No matrix string or pressing plant is recorded in the facts for this release, so do not assume one; verify these on the disc itself, reading the runout etched in the dead wax.
Grade each disc and the box separately, using the price guide steps from M down to VG, and note the 3 discs when assessing wear across the set.
