About this record
Pressed for the French market on RCA Victor in 1970, this stereo LP of Maria Elena carries catalogue number 740.518 and sits at the bottom of the secondary market—currently listed at 0.9 USD with 13 copies in circulation. The price floor reflects the glut: 75 collectors own it against only 20 seeking one, a ratio that keeps even Mint copies capped at 1.79 USD.
What drives its value
This French pressing trades on condition alone. A Mint copy reaches 1.79 USD, while NM drops to 1.61 USD and VG+ to 1.23 USD; by VG the value halves to 0.85 USD.
The lowest asking price across 13 active listings is 0.9 USD, confirming that supply outpaces demand by a factor of nearly 4 to 1 (75 have versus 20 want). As a reissue on RCA Victor rather than an original, and pressed outside the US, it commands no premium over other easy-listening compilations of the era.
The 12-track stereo format and absence of a barcode are standard for the label's 1970 catalogue. Collectors treat this as a budget filler rather than a sought piece.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 740.518 stamped on the label and jacket. The release is a stereo LP with 12 tracks, pressed in France on RCA Victor in 1970.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: Mint (M) shows no play wear, NM permits only light dust, VG+ allows light surface noise and minor marks that do not affect playback, and VG introduces audible crackle and light scratches. The absence of a barcode on the jacket is consistent with 1970 French pressings.
Check the dead wax for plant codes if visible, though the catalogue number alone suffices to identify this edition. Play-test all 12 tracks at moderate volume to confirm stereo separation and freedom from skips.
