About this record
Pressed at Inelco Nederland B.V. for the Dutch market in 1977, this Camden reissue carries the runout matrix CL 42209-A//HL 32873-1-Y through CL 42209-D//HL 32876-1-Y across its four sides—a pressing plant signature that distinguishes it from earlier RCA International Camden issues. The 28-track compilation draws from Reeves' catalogue but was assembled specifically for this European release, making it a regional variant rather than a direct reissue of a US Camden original.
What drives its value
This pressing occupies a soft spot in the secondary market: 44 copies currently listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 0.7 USD, yet the price guide values a Mint copy at 11.48 USD and a VG+ at 7.86 USD—a steep drop that reflects condition sensitivity on a budget reissue. Community ownership is broad (255 collectors have it) against minimal want (2 seeking it), signaling stable supply and weak collector urgency.
The Dutch Inelco pressing carries no premium over US Camden versions; its value rests entirely on condition and the buyer's need to complete a regional discography. Even a NM copy at 10.27 USD undercuts original RCA pressings, cementing this as an entry-level Reeves compilation for listeners rather than investors.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by the catalogue number CL 42209 printed on the label and the four-part matrix string stamped in the dead wax of each side: CL 42209-A//HL 32873-1-Y (side 1), CL 42209-B//HL 32874-1-Y (side 2), CL 42209-C//HL 32875-1-Y (side 3), and CL 42209-D//HL 32876-1-Y (side 4). The pressing plant credit "Inelco Nederland B.V." may appear on the label or sleeve.
No barcode is present on this release. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and the label for wear; even light surface marks drop a Mint copy into NM territory.
Check that all 28 tracks play without skips and that the cover (if present) shows no water damage or foxing, as condition directly determines whether the record trades near 11.48 USD or slides toward 0.7 USD.

Frequently asked
Is this the same as the US RCA International Camden pressing?
No. This is a Dutch pressing manufactured by Inelco Nederland B.V. in 1977 under the RCA International (Camden) label. While the catalogue number CL 42209 and track listing are shared with Camden issues, the Inelco pressing plant and the regional release context make it a distinct variant. US Camden originals may carry different matrix codes and pressing plant credits.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 7.86 USD. This represents an estimate as of the guide's last update and reflects the condition where light surface noise is audible but does not significantly detract from playback. Market prices may vary; the current lowest asking price across 44 listings is 0.7 USD, indicating that worn copies trade well below guide value.
How many copies are actually for sale right now?
44 copies are currently listed across the tracked marketplace. The lowest asking price is 0.7 USD, suggesting that sellers are clearing stock rather than holding for collector premiums. The wide availability relative to the want count (only 2 collectors seeking it) means buyers have significant negotiating room.
What does the matrix string tell me?
The runout matrix—stamped in the dead wax on each of the four sides—confirms the Inelco pressing plant and the 1977 Dutch release. The sequence CL 42209-A//HL 32873-1-Y through CL 42209-D//HL 32876-1-Y is specific to this variant. If your copy shows a different matrix, it is either a different pressing plant or a different release entirely.
Should I pay more for a Mint copy at 11.48 USD versus a VG at 5.44 USD?
That depends on your use. A Mint copy at 11.48 USD is a collector's grade with minimal surface noise, while a VG copy at 5.44 USD will play cleanly but may show light scratches audible in quiet passages. For a listening copy, VG offers strong value; for archival or resale, Mint justifies the premium. Given the low want count (2), this is not a record that holds value through condition alone.
