About this record
CBS Masterworks' 1984 US pressing of Songs of Maurice Ravel under Pierre Boulez conducts a narrow market: only 9 copies are listed for sale, yet 62 collectors own it against just 5 who actively want one. The catalogue M 39023 carries a Mint asking price of 10.38 USD, but the lowest asking price sits at 3.55 USD—a steep drop that reflects the glut of lower-grade stock.
What drives its value
This 1984 CBS Masterworks pressing (M 39023) trades on condition more than rarity. A Mint copy commands 10.38 USD, while Near Mint drops to 9.29 USD and VG+ falls to 7.1 USD; by VG the value is 4.92 USD.
The nine copies currently for sale cluster near the floor: the lowest asking price is 3.55 USD. Community data shows 62 owners against only 5 want-list entries, indicating a well-stocked secondary market with soft demand.
As a US domestic pressing from the mid-1980s on a major classical label, it holds no scarcity premium over other editions. Condition grade is the primary value driver; played copies lose value rapidly once they drop below VG+.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the CBS Masterworks label imprint and catalogue number M 39023 on the label itself. The 1984 pressing carries no barcode.
The LP contains 17 tracks and is a standard 12-inch album format. To confirm grade, examine the vinyl surface under strong light for hairline scratches, groove wear, and dust patterns.
A Mint specimen shows no visible defects under magnification and plays silent. Near Mint permits only light surface marks that do not affect playback.
VG+ allows light scratches and minimal surface noise during quiet passages. VG copies show moderate groove wear and audible surface noise but remain fully playable.
Below VG, expect significant wear, clicks, and pops. The jacket and sleeve condition should be assessed separately from the vinyl; note whether the original shrinkwrap is present (rare on 1984 stock) and whether the spine is split or faded.
