About this record
This Netherlands pressing of CBS Masterworks M 39023 sits in a narrow want-to-have ratio: 4 collectors want it against 19 who own one, a sign of steady but not frenzied demand. The 1984 release carries 17 tracks of Ravel's vocal works under Boulez's direction, and currently 7 copies are listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 5.00 USD—well below the Mint estimate of 15.31 USD.
The steep condition-based price curve (from 15.31 down to 0.81 in Poor grade) means that even minor wear cuts value sharply on this classical LP.
What drives its value
Price on this pressing is entirely condition-dependent. A Mint copy commands 15.31 USD, while a Near Mint drops to 13.70 USD—a 1.61 USD swing for imperceptible wear.
The VG+ tier sits at 10.47 USD, and VG copies trade at 7.25 USD. Below that, G+ falls to 4.03 USD and G to 2.42 USD.
The current market floor of 5.00 USD suggests most active listings cluster in the VG to VG+ range. With 7 copies in circulation and only 4 want-list entries, this is not a scarce pressing—the Netherlands 1984 CBS Masterworks issue shares catalogue M 39023 with its US counterpart, indicating simultaneous release.
Demand is stable rather than competitive; value hinges entirely on finding a copy in the upper grades.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the CBS Masterworks label, catalogue number M 39023, and the Netherlands origin (printed or embossed on the label or jacket). The 1984 date should appear on the label or in fine print on the back cover.
Examine the vinyl for the runout matrix string in the dead wax; this pressing does not carry a barcode. Grade by surface cleanliness: Mint (M) means unplayed condition with no visible marks; Near Mint (NM) allows only the faintest signs of handling; VG+ shows light surface marks but no audible distortion; VG permits visible dust and light scratches that may produce occasional pops.
The 17-track count confirms the full program. Check the jacket for seam splits, creasing, or foxing, as these directly affect the overall grade and thus the resale value—a Mint record in a worn jacket will not command the full M price.

Frequently asked
What is this pressing worth in Very Good Plus condition?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 10.47 USD. This is an estimate as of the guide's last update and reflects the mid-range of the market; actual sales may vary based on jacket condition and local demand.
How does the Netherlands 1984 pressing compare to the US version?
Both the Netherlands and US editions carry the same catalogue number M 39023 and were released in 1984 on CBS Masterworks. They are likely identical pressings distributed to different markets. No separate price data exists for the US variant in this guide, suggesting collectors treat them as equivalent.
Why is there such a large price drop from Mint to Good condition?
The price curve runs from 15.31 USD (Mint) down to 2.42 USD (Good), a reflection of classical music collectors' preference for pristine playback. Even light surface noise is audible on vocal recordings, so condition directly affects desirability and resale value on this pressing.
How many copies are currently for sale, and what is the lowest asking price?
Seven copies are listed for sale across the market, with the lowest asking price at 5.00 USD. This suggests moderate availability; the price point indicates most active listings are in worn (VG or lower) condition.
Is this a rare pressing?
No. The community data shows 19 collectors own this pressing against only 4 who want it, indicating it is readily available in the collector base. The simultaneous release in both Netherlands and US markets means copies are not scarce, and demand is stable rather than competitive.
