About this record
Stamped in the dead wax, the matrix NL 01-60254-5A-1 on side one and NL 01-60254-3B-1 on side three place this CBS Masterworks LP in the Netherlands, where it was made in Holland for the 1983 issue of Glenn Gould's Bach inventions. The sleeve reads Ⓟ 1966 CBS Inc. and Ⓒ 1983 CBS Inc., so the recordings date from 1963-64 while the pressing is a later reissue carrying catalogue CBS 60254.
Demand is steady rather than frantic: 471 collectors list it as a have and 32 as a want, with 73 copies currently for sale.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this pressing at 11.66 USD in Mint and 10.43 USD in Near Mint, falling to 7.98 USD in VG+ and 5.52 USD in VG, so the spread runs from Mint to VG with condition doing most of the work. The lowest current listing is 2.00 USD across 73 copies for sale, which means a buyer has plenty of choice and a seller competes on grade.
Community data shows 471 have against 32 want, a supply-heavy profile that keeps prices close to the guide. Because this is a 1983 Europe reissue on CBS Masterworks rather than the 1966 original sleeve, it sits at the reissue end of the release history, and the original 1966 CBS Inc. copyright on the sleeve is what separates it from later repressings.
Buyers should treat the guide as the reference point and the lowest listing as the floor.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the dead wax for NL 01-60254-5A-1 on side one and NL 01-60254-3B-1 on side three, then check that the label reads CBS Masterworks with catalogue CBS 60254. Look for the Ⓟ 1966 CBS Inc. and Ⓒ 1983 CBS Inc. lines on the back cover, the note 'Made in Holland', and the mention 'Distributed in France by CBS Disques' if you are comparing European sleeves.
The release has no barcode, so the matrix strings and catalogue number are the identifiers to rely on. Confirm the insert or leaflet with liner notes in French, English and German is present, since it belongs to the complete release.
Grade the disc and sleeve separately, using the price guide tiers from Mint at 11.66 USD down to VG at 5.52 USD as the scale.
