About this record
Pressed by Companhia Industrial De Discos for the Brazilian market in 1969, this Tapecar edition of Mireille Mathieu's La Première Étoile carries catalogue number 80.392 and arrives without a barcode—a hallmark of Tapecar's domestic Brazilian pressings of that era. The 12-track stereo LP captures Mathieu's chanson-vocal style on vinyl stock manufactured specifically for South American distribution, making it distinct from European and North American variants.
What drives its value
This pressing commands a steep condition-dependent spread: a Mint copy reaches 14.16 USD, while a VG+ example settles at 9.69 USD and a VG copy at 6.71 USD. The Brazilian Tapecar pressing is scarcer in the secondary market—currently no copies are listed for sale—yet community ownership stands at 14 copies against 3 want requests, indicating modest but stable collector interest.
The absence of a barcode and the Companhia Industrial De Discos plant attribution anchor its identity within the Tapecar catalog. Demand does not outpace supply dramatically, so value hinges almost entirely on condition: a near-mint specimen justifies the 12.67 USD NM tier, but wear drops value sharply into the 3.73 USD G+ range.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Tapecar label imprint and catalogue number 80.392 (also printed as 80 392 on some copies). Verify the Companhia Industrial De Discos plant credit in the dead wax or on the label itself—this plant attribution is the surest way to distinguish the Brazilian pressing from other 1969 Mathieu editions.
The absence of a barcode on the back cover or label is consistent with Tapecar's Brazilian domestic releases. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: Mint condition (14.16 USD) means unplayed stock with no visible marks; NM (12.67 USD) allows only the faintest signs of handling; VG+ (9.69 USD) shows light surface wear but plays through without distortion; VG (6.71 USD) exhibits moderate wear and possible light crackle during quiet passages.
The 12-track stereo format should be confirmed on the label and jacket spine.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this Brazilian Tapecar pressing apart from other 1969 Mathieu editions?
Look for the Tapecar label name and the catalogue number 80.392 (or 80 392). Check the dead wax or label for the credit to Companhia Industrial De Discos, the Brazilian pressing plant. The absence of a barcode is also typical of Tapecar's domestic releases. European and North American pressings will carry different label names and plant attributions.
What is a VG+ copy of this record worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 9.69 USD. This represents light surface wear but full playability without distortion during normal listening.
What price should I expect for a Mint copy?
A Mint-graded copy is estimated at 14.16 USD in the price guide. This assumes unplayed condition with no visible marks or handling wear on the vinyl or jacket.
How many copies of this pressing are currently for sale?
No copies are currently listed for sale in the tracked market. However, 14 collectors report owning one, and 3 are actively seeking it, suggesting the pressing exists but moves infrequently.
Is this a first pressing or a reissue?
This is a 1969 original pressing for the Brazilian market on Tapecar. It is not a reissue. The Companhia Industrial De Discos plant attribution and the absence of a barcode confirm its status as a period release rather than a later reissue.
