About this record
Hungaroton's SLPX 12303 carries the matrix SLPX 12303-A 111 P HP on side one and SLPX 12303-B 111 P HP on side two, so the dead wax itself confirms the Hungarian pressing. The 1982 LP gathers six Beethoven works for mandolin and piano and for violin and piano, performed by Lajos Mayer, Imre Rohmann, Bela Banfalvi and Sándor Falvai.
Its front cover shows a mandolin by Casella, owned by Lajos Mayer, beside a glass bearing Beethoven's portrait from the Hungarian Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna.
What drives its value
Price for this pressing is driven by condition more than by rarity, since the price guide runs from 14.15 for an M copy down to 6.70 for VG and 9.68 for VG+. The current lowest price is 1.40, and 41 copies are listed for sale, which means the market is deep enough that a grading lapse is easy to find a replacement for.
Community data shows 142 owners against only 5 people wanting the record, a supply-heavy balance that keeps values anchored near the lower end of the guide. Because this is the original 1982 Hungaroton issue with a single catalogue number and no barcode, it sits as the sole edition in its listing rather than as one of several reissues to compare against.
Buyers should therefore pay for grade and sleeve quality, not for a variant premium.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the runout on both sides: SLPX 12303-A 111 P HP on side one and SLPX 12303-B 111 P HP on side two. The label is Hungaroton, the catalogue number is SLPX 12303, and the release notes credit the cover photo to the Hungarian Museum of Applied Arts and the front cover to Lajos Mayer's instrument, which helps distinguish it from other sleeves.
The release notes also give the imprint line Made in Hungary, ℗ 1982 and the credit F. v.: Horváth Józsefné, which should appear on the label or the back of the jacket. A genuine copy has no barcode, so a barcode is a red flag.
Grade the disc under light and check each side against the price guide tiers: M at 14.15, NM at 12.66, VG+ at 9.68, VG at 6.70, G+ at 3.72. The sleeve should match the disc grade, and the cover art should be clean across the mandolin and glass images.
