About this record
Both sides of this 1925 His Master's Voice pressing derive from Victor masters recorded days apart in New York—the A-side (matrix 5-632) from August 12, the B-side (matrix 9673) from August 14—yet were pressed at The Gramophone Co. Ltd. for the UK market under catalogue B 2117. The runout stamps 5-632 RM A33304 △ 2 and 9673 RO A33311 △ 5 confirm the Gramophone pressing plant rather than any other HMV facility.
Only 6 copies are listed for sale across all platforms, with 22 collectors owning one against 3 who actively want it.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire valuation on this shellac 10-inch 78. A Mint copy commands 19.53 USD, while the same record in NM drops to 17.48 USD—a steep fall for a single grade.
VG+ sits at 13.37 USD, VG at 9.25 USD. The current lowest asking price is 10.42 USD across 6 active listings, suggesting most copies in circulation grade between VG and VG+.
The 22-to-3 have-to-want ratio indicates modest but steady collector interest; this is not a sought-after rarity, but neither is it common. As a UK pressing of American Victor recordings, it occupies a middle ground—less prized than original US Victor pressings, more collectable than later reissues.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the catalogue number B 2117 on the label and confirm the pressing plant credit (The Gramophone Co. Ltd.) in the dead wax. The two distinct matrix runouts are the fingerprint: side A reads 5-632 RM A33304 △ 2, side B reads 9673 RO A33311 △ 5.
These stamps prove the Gramophone pressing rather than a Decca or Parlophone variant. The 10-inch shellac should play at 78 RPM.
Grade by surface condition: Mint assumes no play wear and minimal dust; NM allows light play marks invisible at arm's length; VG+ shows visible wear but no audible surface noise during quiet passages; VG exhibits light crackle and surface marks audible on soft sections. Warp, deep scratches, or label damage downgrades significantly.
The 1925 date and Victor-sourced recordings (from sessions of August 12 and August 14) are confirmed in the release notes.
