About this record
Stamped in the dead wax as B 60829 and B 60830, this 1926 Gramophone Record pressing bears the Deutsche Grammophon-Aktiengesellschaft plant mark—a detail that separates it from later reissues. The matrix runout strings (P 333 bg on the A-side, R 334 bg on the B-side) confirm the original European shellac strike.
Demand is dormant: 1 collector owns it against 0 who want it, a signal of scarcity without active pursuit.
What drives its value
This 12-inch, 78 RPM shellac carries catalogue number 19516 and couples Valencia with C'Était Moi across 2 tracks. The pressing plant attribution to Deutsche Grammophon-Aktiengesellschaft anchors its provenance to Weimar-era German manufacture, a detail that matters for European collectors of light music and early jazz.
With 1 copy in community hands and 0 want entries, the record occupies a quiet corner of the market—neither scarce enough to command premium pricing nor common enough to trade freely. The absence of a barcode confirms its 1926 vintage predates modern inventory systems.
Condition grades will drive any transaction; original shellac from this era survives in varying states of surface preservation, and the specific matrix codes allow verification against auction records and dealer databases.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 19516 on the label and the two distinct matrix runouts in the dead wax: B 60829 P 333 bg 333 bg on side A and B 60830 R 334 bg 334 bg on side B. The pressing plant credit to Deutsche Grammophon-Aktiengesellschaft should appear on the label or in the runout.
The 12-inch shellac format and 78 RPM speed are standard for 1926 European releases. Grade by examining the shellac surface under light for hairline cracks, crazing, and loss of gloss; listen for surface noise during playback, which increases as shellac ages.
Original 1926 pressings often show label wear and edge chipping; pristine examples are uncommon. Cross-reference the matrix codes against Gramophone Record's 1926 catalogue to rule out later reissues bearing the same catalogue number but different dead-wax markings.

Frequently asked
How do I know this is the original 1926 pressing and not a reissue?
Check the dead wax (the area between the label and the record edge) for the matrix runout B 60829 P 333 bg 333 bg on side A and B 60830 R 334 bg 334 bg on side B. These specific codes are unique to the original Deutsche Grammophon-Aktiengesellschaft pressing from 1926. Later reissues will show different matrix numbers or plant attributions. The absence of a barcode also confirms pre-modern manufacture.
What does it mean that only 1 collector has this record and 0 want it?
The 1 have against 0 want ratio suggests the record is not actively hunted but held by a single community member, likely acquired by chance rather than targeted search. This dormant demand pattern is typical of niche European light-music releases from the 1920s that lack crossover appeal to mainstream jazz or pop collectors. Rarity alone does not drive price; collector interest does.
Why does the pressing plant matter for a 1926 shellac?
Deutsche Grammophon-Aktiengesellschaft was the manufacturing arm of the Gramophone Company's German operations. Records pressed there often show distinct label typography, shellac formulation, and surface characteristics compared to pressings from other plants. Collectors of early European jazz and light music use the plant attribution to trace the supply chain and verify authenticity against known catalogue records.
Is this record playable, or is it too fragile?
Shellac from 1926 is brittle and prone to cracking and crazing, but many examples remain playable if stored upright and handled with care. Surface noise will be present; original 78 RPM recordings were mastered with this in mind. Play only with a period-appropriate stylus (78 RPM needle) to minimize further damage. Condition of the specific copy you examine will determine playability.
What is the catalogue number and how do I use it to research this record?
The catalogue number is 19516, printed on the Gramophone Record label. Use this number to cross-reference Gramophone Record's 1926 European catalogue, auction databases, and dealer inventories. The matrix codes B 60829 and B 60830 provide a secondary verification point; together they form a unique fingerprint for this pressing.
