About this record
Hungaroton's SLPX 12569 (1984) pairs five contemporary composers—Stockhausen, Durkó, Bozay, Cage, and Xenakis—on a single LP, recorded at the Reformed Church in Budapest. Demand slightly outpaces supply: 109 collectors want it against 104 who own one, with 12 copies currently listed for sale.
The price spread from Mint (16.39 USD) to Poor (0.86 USD) reflects how heavily condition drives value on this Hungarian pressing.
What drives its value
This Hungaroton release commands 16.39 USD in Mint condition, dropping to 14.66 USD at NM and 11.21 USD at VG+, then falling sharply to 7.76 USD at VG—a pattern typical of Eastern European classical pressings where vinyl quality and storage conditions vary widely. The 12 copies currently for sale suggest modest but steady availability; the want-to-have ratio of 109 to 104 indicates genuine collector interest rather than scarcity panic.
As a 1984 Hungarian pressing on the state label Hungaroton, it occupies a niche between Western European reissues and Soviet-bloc originals, making its value sensitive to pressing plant quality and jacket condition. The lowest recorded sale stands at 8 USD, confirming that even worn copies find buyers seeking the Cage and Xenakis tracks.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Hungaroton catalogue number SLPX 12569 printed on the spine and label. The 1984 copyright mark (℗ 1984) appears on the label; no barcode was applied to this release.
The jacket includes a 4-sided LP-sized insert with liner notes in English, German, French, and Russian—an unusual multilingual presentation for a Hungarian state label. Grading requires close attention to the vinyl surface under light, as Hungarian pressings from this era often show light surface noise even when visually clean; distinguish VG+ (11.21 USD) from VG (7.76 USD) by whether quiet passages remain noise-free or show faint crackle.
Check the jacket for foxing and spine wear, common on 1984 Hungaroton sleeves stored in humid Central European conditions.
