About this record
RCA catalogue 447-0110 pairs The Lord's Prayer with Ave Maria on a 7 inch 45 RPM single pressed for the US market, with dead-wax matrix stamps F2PW-4294 and F2PW-4295 identifying the specific stamper pair. The community holds 29 copies against 2 want requests, a ratio that signals modest but steady collector interest in this classical vocal pairing.
Current market listings show 11 copies available, with the lowest asking price at 1.23 USD.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire price structure on this RCA 45. A Mint copy commands 2.12 USD, while NM drops to 1.90 USD and VG+ settles at 1.45 USD; the VG grade holds at 1.00 USD.
Below VG, value collapses: G+ trades at 0.56 USD, G at 0.33 USD, F at 0.22 USD, and Poor at 0.11 USD. The 11 active listings at 1.23 USD reflect the market floor for playable stock.
Perry Como's sacred vocal repertoire on RCA maintains steady demand among collectors of classical 45s, though the 29 have against 2 want indicates this is a common pressing rather than a chase variant. The US RCA Victor pressing (catalogue 447-0110) shows no scarcity premium over other known issues of the same catalogue number.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the RCA label and catalogue number 447-0110 on the label face. Examine the dead-wax runout groove on both sides: side A should read F2PW-4294 and side B should read F2PW-4295, stamped into the vinyl after the label.
These matrix codes confirm the specific pressing plant stamper pair used. The 7 inch 45 RPM format is standard for this release.
Grade by visual inspection under bright light: look for hairline scratches in the grooves, which reduce value from Mint (2.12 USD) through NM (1.90 USD) and VG+ (1.45 USD). Surface noise during playback will be audible on copies below VG (1.00 USD).
Check that the label is intact and centered; RCA labels on 45s from this era are prone to foxing and edge wear. No barcode appears on this pressing.
