About this record
This 1985 Hispavox reissue pairs two landmark works of Spanish electroacoustic composition—Visto de Cerca (1974) and Chaman (1975–76)—both realized in Montreal's university studios. Want outpaces supply sharply: 57 collectors seek it against 31 who own one, yet only 6 copies are listed for sale across the market.
The price curve from Mint down to VG reflects the scarcity premium on this two-track experimental LP.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market here. A Mint copy commands 32.13 USD, while a VG+ drops to 21.99 USD—a meaningful gap for a reissue with limited circulation.
The lowest asking price sits at 22.34 USD across 6 active listings, anchoring the floor near VG+ territory. The want-to-have ratio (57 to 31) signals genuine collector demand beyond casual interest, typical of niche electroacoustic and musique concrète material.
As a 1985 Spanish pressing rather than an original, this reissue occupies a middle ground: scarcer than most later reissues, but not commanding the premiums of first pressings. The two-track format and interview with Luis de Pablo on the back cover add documentary value that sustains interest among experimental-music specialists.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the Hispavox catalogue number 130 302 on the spine and label. The LP carries no barcode, consistent with mid-1980s Spanish pressing practice.
The release notes identify both compositions and their Montreal origins—Visto de Cerca realized across University of Montreal and McGill studios, Chaman in McGill's electronic studio—details that appear in the liner text and distinguish this reissue from any other coupling. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under raking light: Mint means unplayed condition with no audible wear; VG+ allows light surface marks that do not affect playback; VG shows visible scratches and groove wear but remains musically clean.
The back cover should feature the Spanish-language composer interview; its presence and condition (foxing, creasing) factor into overall grade. Sleeve condition grades separately from the vinyl itself.

Frequently asked
What is this record worth in typical condition?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 21.99 USD according to the current price guide. The lowest asking price across active listings is 22.34 USD, suggesting the market aligns closely with that valuation for copies in very good to excellent condition. These figures reflect the guide's snapshot; actual sales may vary.
Why is there such a big price jump from VG to Mint?
Mint copies are valued at 32.13 USD against VG at 15.22 USD. The gap reflects scarcity: unplayed examples of this 1985 reissue are rare, and collectors of experimental electroacoustic music prize pristine vinyl for both sonic fidelity and preservation. Each step up the grade ladder represents fewer surviving copies in that condition.
Is this the original 1974/1975 release or a reissue?
This is a 1985 reissue on Hispavox. The compositions themselves date to 1974 (Visto de Cerca) and 1975–76 (Chaman), but this LP pressing is a later release. That distinction matters: original pressings of these works may exist on other labels or in different formats, but this Hispavox edition is the 1985 Spanish reissue.
Why do 57 people want this if only 31 own it?
The want-to-have ratio reflects strong collector interest relative to the small installed base. Musique concrète and experimental electronic works have a dedicated but niche audience; this pairing of two Luis de Pablo compositions realized in Montreal studios appeals to specialists in electroacoustic history. The scarcity (only 6 copies currently for sale) compounds the demand.
What makes this pressing distinct from other Luis de Pablo releases?
The two-track format and the inclusion of a Spanish-language interview with the composer on the back cover are specific to this edition. Both compositions were realized in Montreal university studios—University of Montreal and McGill—a detail documented in the liner notes. The catalogue number 130 302 on Hispavox is the identifier for this exact pairing and pressing.
