About this record
Both sides of this French carnival EP bear the dead-wax stamp 'PEP 979 380 Made in France' and 'PEP 980 380 Made in France', confirming production by Société Phonographique Philips for the Rouvroy Dunkerque label. The 37-track count across two 7-inch 45 RPM records makes this a dense regional document of Dunkerque's street music, yet only 2 copies currently trade below the guide floor of 2.76 USD, signalling scarcity despite zero collector demand on the community ledger.
What drives its value
Pricing on this Orchestre Edmond Bertein pressing spans from 1.93 USD in Poor condition to 36.71 USD in Mint—a steep climb that reflects the rarity of intact copies rather than mainstream collector hunger. The community shows 8 owners against 0 want-list entries, suggesting this is a specialist acquisition: regional French folk documentation rather than a sought reissue.
With only 2 copies for sale at 2.76 USD or above, the market is thin; most transactions likely occur between local dealers or archive collectors. A VG+ copy commands 25.11 USD, while VG drops to 17.39 USD—a gap that rewards careful storage of this Philips-pressed EP.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue numbers PEP 979 and PEP 980 printed on the label; both sides carry the identical matrix runout '380 Made in France', a hallmark of Société Phonographique Philips production for the Rouvroy Dunkerque imprint. The 7-inch 45 RPM format houses 37 tracks total, an unusually dense track count for a single EP.
No barcode appears on this release. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and the label for foxing or water stains; French pressings of this era are prone to edge wear from storage in damp conditions.
Play-test at 45 RPM to confirm groove integrity across all 37 cuts, as the density increases wear risk.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number for each side?
The A-side is catalogued PEP 979 and the B-side PEP 980, both released on the Rouvroy Dunkerque label and pressed by Société Phonographique Philips.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 25.11 USD. This represents the midpoint between Mint (36.71 USD) and VG (17.39 USD), reflecting the condition-sensitive market for this regional French pressing.
Why is there such a large price gap between Mint and VG condition?
The jump from 17.39 USD (VG) to 25.11 USD (VG+) to 36.71 USD (Mint) reflects the scarcity of well-preserved copies. Regional carnival recordings pressed in limited runs are vulnerable to deterioration; intact examples command a premium among the 8 collectors who own one.
How many tracks are on this EP?
The release contains 37 tracks distributed across the two 7-inch 45 RPM sides, an unusually high count that documents the breadth of Dunkerque's carnival repertoire.
What does the matrix runout tell me?
Both sides stamp 'PEP 979 380 Made in France' and 'PEP 980 380 Made in France' in the dead wax, confirming manufacture by Société Phonographique Philips and ruling out bootlegs or later reissues from other pressing plants.
