About this record
Angel Records pressed this Maria Callas compilation in the United States under catalogue SB-3696, and the release notes say it is a reissue of the blue-label Angel Stereo issue, with a 1970s yellow-and-black label variation also documented. The Callas tracks were recorded in Europe and sung in Italian, so the American plant pressing carries the studio history rather than any local recording.
Only one other pressing is on file, the 1966 Angel edition catalogued B-3696, which makes the dating of your copy the first thing to settle.
What drives its value
The price guide puts this pressing from 5.14 USD in Mint down to 2.44 USD in VG, with NM at 4.60 USD and VG+ at 3.52 USD, so the spread between the top and bottom grades is the main driver of value. Condition is decisive because the 10-track Stereo set is a reissue and not a scarce first pressing.
The community data shows 4 owners and no active wants, and no current market snapshot is recorded, so no live copy count can be quoted. Against the 1966 original under B-3696, the reissue sits in a lower value bracket, and the blue-label versus yellow-and-black variation affects how a buyer prices a copy within this SB-3696 listing.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing first by reading the catalogue number on the spine and front panel: it should read SB-3696 for this stereo reissue, and the 1966 original reads B-3696. Check the label colour and wording against the release notes, separating the blue-label Angel Stereo original from the later yellow-and-black variation.
The facts do not give a dead-wax matrix string or plant code, so verify the runout by reading the etched stamps in the run-out groove yourself and comparing them with a known reference, rather than relying on a number here. Grade the copy against the price guide tiers of M, NM, VG+, VG, G+, G, F and P, examining the disc under a bright light at an angle for surface wear, and treat the sleeve and disc grades as separate values.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of The Art Of Maria Callas worth?
The price guide lists a VG+ copy at 3.52 USD. This is an estimate from the guide and not a live sale price, and the lowest current listing is not recorded in the data.
What is a Mint copy worth?
The price guide gives 5.14 USD for a Mint copy. This is a guide estimate, and the figure rests on the grading of the disc and sleeve together.
Is this an original 1960s pressing?
The release notes describe this as a reissue of the blue-label Angel Stereo issue, so it is not the original. The only other pressing on file is the 1966 Angel Records edition catalogued B-3696.
How do I tell the reissue from the original?
Check the label colour and catalogue number. The reissue is SB-3696, while the 1966 original is B-3696, and the notes separately flag a yellow-and-black label variation from the 1970s.
How many collectors own or want this record?
The community data records 4 owners and 0 people wanting it, so demand is light and the price is driven mainly by condition.
