About this record
The dead wax reads ZVRM-4081 and ZVRM-4082, and the RCA Records Pressing Plant in Indianapolis is named as the plant of record, so this is a US domestic pressing rather than an import. Released by RCA Victrola under catalogue VIC-1594 in 1971, it is the first volume of The Landowska Collection of Harpsichord Music, with Wanda Landowska playing a Pleyel harpsichord across three tracks of Bach suites and dances.
Its provenance matters because the matrix string and plant credit tie it to a specific American run rather than a later reissue.
What drives its value
Price for this pressing is driven first by condition, because the price guide runs from 32.76 USD for an M copy through 22.42 USD for VG+ down to 15.52 USD for VG. A buyer weighing a VG copy against a Mint one is therefore comparing 15.52 USD with 32.76 USD on the same catalogue number.
The lowest current listing is 0.88 USD, and 30 copies are for sale, so the market is well stocked and surplus copies are easy to find. Demand is modest: the community lists 157 owners against only 3 collectors seeking one, which keeps the top grades scarce relative to the number of worn copies in circulation.
Because this is the 1971 US Victrola edition with Indianapolis dead wax, it sits as the original domestic pressing among any other pressings, and that origin supports its position at the upper end of the price guide.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the etched dead wax on side one, which should show ZVRM-4081 as the matrix, and on side two, which should show ZVRM-4082, alongside the RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis credit. The label should read RCA Victrola with catalogue VIC-1594, and the back cover should carry the 1971 RCA Records, New York copyright line with Made in U.S.A. and the Dynaflex notation.
The release notes name the Pleyel harpsichord and the Volume 1 title, which helps separate this from related Landowska releases. Grade the disc by playing it under good light, checking each side from the lead-in through the lead-out, and comparing the surfaces against the M, NM, VG+ and VG descriptions before settling on a figure from the price guide.
