About this record
The dead wax carries the matrix pair 1-36374-G2#3 <IAM> on side one and 2-36375-G2 <IAM> on side two, and both were cut in the Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Scranton. That plant detail is the key to this US Angel Records LP, catalogue B-3696, which is a 1966 mono compilation of Maria Callas arias rather than a European original.
Its matrix pattern and plant credit are the first things to read before any question of value.
What drives its value
The price_guide lists M at 15.28 USD, NM at 13.68, VG+ at 10.46, VG at 7.24 and G+ at 4.02, so the market runs from 7.24 for VG up to 15.28 for Mint. The current lowest_price is 6.15 with 4 copies for sale, a thin supply that keeps pricing tied to the grade of the copy in hand.
Community data shows 100 collectors have this release and 5 want it, a much larger ownership base than wish list, which tempers any premium. Because this is a 1966 US Angel pressing with a Scranton plant credit, it sits in a different tier from the European original and reissue pressings listed in other_pressings, and buyers should compare directly against those editions before paying for this one.
All figures are estimates as of the guide date.
How to appraise this pressing
Start with the label and catalogue number: Angel Records B-3696 should appear on the spine and the front cover. Next, check the runout for the matrix strings 1-X-36374 and 1-36374-G2#3 <IAM> on side one, and 2-X-36375 and 2-36375-G2 <IAM> on side two; these tie the disc to the 1966 US mono cut.
Confirm the Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Scranton credit in the dead wax. The record has no barcode, so do not rely on one for identification.
Grade the disc under good light, inspecting each side for surface noise, and compare the sleeve's wear against the disc's condition, since the sleeve can be graded separately from the vinyl.
