About this record
The Netherlands Mercury pressing of Wonderful Louis carries catalogue number 134 561 MFY and bears one of four distinct matrix runouts—AA 134 014 1Y 2 670 1, AA 134 014 2Y 2 670 1, AA 134 014 1Y 2 670 114 04, or AA 134 014 2Y 2 670 112 04—stamped into the dead wax to distinguish it from the French Mercury Records edition (catalogue 7920 003). This 1968 Dutch pressing is a 12-track jazz LP that trades at a steep discount to its Mint estimate, with 20 copies currently listed and only 23 collectors actively seeking it against 165 who own one.
What drives its value
Condition determines nearly all value on this Netherlands pressing. A Mint copy commands 11.05 USD, but the market floor sits at 2.5 USD, reflecting the glut of available stock—20 copies for sale—and modest collector demand (23 want against 165 have).
The VG+ grade anchors at 7.56 USD, while a VG copy drops to 5.23 USD; the gap between NM (9.88 USD) and VG+ (7.56 USD) signals that even light play erodes asking price sharply. As a reissue rather than an original pressing, this Dutch Mercury lacks the scarcity premium of first editions.
The French Mercury alternative (catalogue 7920 003) occupies the same catalog slot, meaning European dealers often stock both variants interchangeably, further depressing individual-pressing value.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 134 561 MFY printed on the label and the four possible matrix runouts etched into the dead wax of each side: AA 134 014 1Y 2 670 1 or AA 134 014 2Y 2 670 1 (Side 1), and AA 134 014 1Y 2 670 114 04 or AA 134 014 2Y 2 670 112 04 (Side 2). The absence of a barcode indicates a 1968 pressing before UPC adoption.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under bright light: Mint (11.05 USD) shows no visible wear; NM (9.88 USD) allows only hairline marks invisible at arm's length; VG+ (7.56 USD) displays light surface marks and faint background noise on quiet passages; VG (5.23 USD) shows audible surface noise and visible scratches. The label itself should be clean and centered, with no water damage or marker writing, as these defects push even NM copies toward VG+ pricing.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this Netherlands pressing from the French Mercury edition?
Check the catalogue number on the label: this Dutch pressing reads 134 561 MFY, while the French Mercury Records alternative is catalogued 7920 003. The matrix runout etched in the dead wax also differs—this pressing uses AA 134 014 codes, which you can verify by tilting the vinyl under a bright light and reading the stamped numbers near the label center.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is estimated at 7.56 USD. This reflects light surface marks and minimal background noise. Note that this is an estimate; actual sales may vary, and the current lowest asking price across 20 available copies is 2.5 USD, indicating that many sellers price aggressively below the guide.
Why is the market price so low compared to the Mint estimate?
The spread from Mint (11.05 USD) to the market floor (2.5 USD) reflects weak collector demand—only 23 want this pressing against 165 who already own it—combined with ample supply (20 copies listed). As a 1968 reissue rather than an original pressing, it lacks scarcity. Dealers often stock both the Dutch and French Mercury variants, further fragmenting demand.
How many tracks are on this LP?
Wonderful Louis contains 12 tracks. This is a standard jazz compilation for the Mercury label's international catalog.
What does the community rating tell me about this record?
The community rating is 3.91 out of 5, based on 11 ratings. This modest score suggests mixed listener satisfaction—neither a standout nor a poor performer—and reflects the album's status as a mid-catalog reissue rather than a landmark Armstrong session.
