About this record
Two matrix strings are etched in the dead wax of this French RCA pressing: SHPY 2153 A3 Y-D on side one and ZHPY 2154 B2 Y.D. on side two. Blue Side Of Lonesome, catalogue FCL1 7150, is a 1975 stereo compilation of 14 tracks by Jim Reeves, and the runouts are the first thing to read before any grade is assigned.
Collectors searching this title will find it listed alongside the wider Jim Reeves catalogue, which makes the French pressing easy to confuse with other editions.
What drives its value
The price_guide figures for this copy run from a VG price of the guide's lowest grade up to a Mint price at the top end, so the spread between grades is the main driver of value; condition is what separates a cheap copy from a costly one. The lowest_price snapshot shows a market with 4 copies currently for sale, which is a thin supply against 280 owners in the community have count.
Demand is weaker on the other side of the ledger, with only 4 collectors listing it as wanted and an average community rating of 3.46 from 13 ratings. Within the other_pressings list, this French RCA issue sits as a regional compilation rather than an original album, and that position typically keeps it below the value of the original UK or US releases.
Check the price_guide date before quoting any figure, since these are estimates as of that date.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the dead wax first: side one should carry SHPY 2153 A3 Y-D and side two ZHPY 2154 B2 Y.D., both alongside the catalogue number FCL1 7150 printed on the label. The label must read RCA, and the format should be a 14-track stereo LP, not a mono or reissue variant.
This release has no barcode, so do not rely on a barcode lookup to verify it; the matrix strings and catalogue number are the identifiers to match against the listing. Grade the sleeve and disc separately, judging the disc under strong light for surface wear and the jacket for seam splits and ring wear.
A copy that matches the matrix strings and catalogue number exactly is the authentic French pressing; any mismatch means a different edition.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of Blue Side Of Lonesome worth?
The price_guide lists a VG+ estimate for this pressing, and that figure is an estimate as of the guide date rather than a fixed sale price. Check the guide's date before relying on it, since the market can move.
How do I tell this French RCA pressing from other editions?
Match the dead-wax matrix strings SHPY 2153 A3 Y-D and ZHPY 2154 B2 Y.D. against the catalogue number FCL1 7150. The release has no barcode, so the matrix and catalogue are the reliable identifiers.
Is this an original Jim Reeves album?
No. It is a 1975 compilation of 14 tracks released in France on RCA, so it is a regional compilation rather than an original studio album.
What does the 3.46 rating mean for this record?
The community rating of 3.46 comes from 13 ratings on the community page, so it reflects a small sample of collectors rather than a broad consensus.
Why is this copy valued differently from a Mint copy?
The price_guide sets a separate figure for each grade, running from VG up to Mint, so the grade you assign to the sleeve and disc determines which price applies. Grade the jacket and vinyl separately before choosing a figure.
