About this record
Alexander Schreiner's organ recital on Musical Masterpiece Society catalogue MMS-32 is a 10-inch mono pressing with two distinct matrix runouts: MMS 32 A E3KL-2725-2B on side one and MMS 32 B E3KL-2726-1A on side two. Only 3 copies currently list for sale across the market, yet 27 collectors report owning one against just 1 want, signaling this US pressing has settled into quiet but stable demand.
What drives its value
The price spread from Mint at 11.31 USD down to VG+ at 7.74 USD reflects the fragility of 10-inch classical pressings from this era; a VG copy drops to 5.36 USD, and the lowest asking price sits at 4.6 USD. With only 3 copies for sale, supply is genuinely tight for a Musical Masterpiece Society release.
The 27 have against 1 want indicates this is a held collection piece rather than a hunted rarity. The 5-track program and mono format limit crossover appeal, keeping it within specialist organ and Baroque circles.
Condition variance matters sharply here: the 3.57 USD gap between Mint and VG+ pricing reflects how quickly surface noise and groove wear degrade playback on these smaller-diameter discs.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Musical Masterpiece Society label imprint and catalogue number MMS-32 on the label itself. The 10-inch format and mono designation distinguish it from later reissues.
Examine both sides for the matrix runouts: side A should read MMS 32 A E3KL-2725-2B and side B MMS 32 B E3KL-2726-1A in the dead wax. No barcode appears on this pressing.
Grade by listening for surface noise during the 5 organ tracks; a Mint copy will have silent passages between pieces, while VG+ copies show light crackle during quiet sections. Check the label for foxing or water stains common to MMS releases stored in damp conditions.
The 10-inch platter is prone to warping; lay it flat and sight across the surface under bright light to confirm flatness before pricing above VG.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of MMS-32 worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 7.74 USD. This estimate assumes the record plays without significant surface noise and the label shows only minor wear. The figure reflects the 10-inch format and limited collector base for this specific Alexander Schreiner recital.
How rare is this Musical Masterpiece Society pressing?
Currently 3 copies list for sale, the lowest at 4.6 USD. The community data shows 27 collectors own one, which is a modest but stable base. The 1 want against 27 have suggests this is a settled holding rather than an actively hunted title, typical of MMS releases that appealed to mail-order subscribers rather than retail buyers.
Why does a Mint copy command 11.31 USD when the lowest asking price is 4.6 USD?
The 11.31 USD Mint price reflects the theoretical top of the market for a silent, unplayed copy with pristine label and jacket. The 4.6 USD asking price represents actual market clearing; sellers price aggressively to move inventory. The gap shows that truly Mint 10-inch pressings rarely sell, and most transactions occur in the VG to VG+ range where the price guide lists 7.74 USD.
How do I verify the pressing plant from the matrix runout?
The matrix codes MMS 32 A E3KL-2725-2B and MMS 32 B E3KL-2726-1A do not directly encode a pressing plant identifier in their structure. Cross-reference these runouts against discographies specific to Musical Masterpiece Society releases or contact the label's archive if accessible. The E3KL prefix may indicate the mastering facility rather than the plant.
Is this 10-inch format harder to play than a 12-inch LP?
Yes. The 10-inch platter spins at the same speed but has a shorter groove spiral, concentrating wear into fewer revolutions. Stylus pressure and tracking force must be precise to avoid accelerated groove damage. A VG copy at 5.36 USD may show audible ticking or light surface noise that a 12-inch VG pressing would not, making condition grading stricter for this format.
