About this record
The Rockaway pressing plant stamped this 1964 RCA Victor stereo LP with two distinct matrix codes—RPRS-4271 on side A and RPRS-4272 on side B—a detail that separates early US copies from later reissues. Demand sits modest but stable: 13 collectors want it against 385 who own one, and 22 copies are currently for sale, suggesting steady but unhurried turnover in the market.
What drives its value
Peter Nero's 1964 instrumental pop album holds value primarily through condition grade. A Mint copy fetches 16.39 USD, while NM drops to 14.66 USD; the VG+ tier sits at 11.21 USD, and VG copies trade at 7.76 USD—a steep cliff that reflects how surface noise and groove wear erode appeal on this piano-led recording.
The lowest asking price across 22 active listings is 1.08 USD, indicating a floor for heavily played or damaged stock. The want-to-have ratio of 13 to 385 shows this is a catalog title rather than a sought rarity; RCA's broad US distribution in 1964 means clean copies are not scarce, but the Rockaway pressing plant attribution (visible in the dead wax) matters to format completists.
Stereo pressing status and the 12-track song selection keep it in circulation among easy-listening and vintage pop collectors.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the RCA Victor catalogue number LSP-2935 on the front cover and label. The dead-wax matrix codes are the definitive identifier: side A reads RPRS-4271 - - 8 S A1 R, and side B reads RPRS - - 4272 - 7 S B2 R.
Both sides were pressed at RCA Records Pressing Plant, Rockaway, a detail stamped into the runout groove. The label itself carries no barcode.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: Mint (16.39 USD) shows no visible wear; NM (14.66 USD) allows only light dust; VG+ (11.21 USD) permits light surface marks but no audible crackle; VG (7.76 USD) shows visible scratches and light background noise during quiet passages. Listen to the opening piano on track 1 to detect groove wear; a VG+ copy will reproduce the high frequencies cleanly, while VG copies will show thinning treble and faint surface noise between notes.

Frequently asked
What is the matrix code on this pressing, and why does it matter?
Side A is stamped RPRS-4271 - - 8 S A1 R and side B is RPRS - - 4272 - 7 S B2 R. These codes confirm the Rockaway pressing plant and the 1964 US release. Collectors use matrix codes to distinguish original pressings from later reissues, which carry different plant codes or runout patterns. This particular matrix is specific to the LSP-2935 catalogue number.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 11.21 USD. This reflects a record with light surface marks and minimal audible wear—suitable for regular play without degradation. The jump from VG+ (11.21 USD) to NM (14.66 USD) shows that even light scratches cost collectors roughly 3 USD in resale value on this title.
Why is there such a big price drop from Mint to VG?
Mint copies are valued at 16.39 USD, while VG sits at 7.76 USD—a significant gap driven by the piano-led arrangement. Surface noise and groove wear are immediately audible on instrumental recordings with sparse accompaniment, unlike vocal-heavy pop where background vocals mask minor defects. A VG copy will exhibit noticeable crackle during the quieter passages, making it unsuitable for serious collectors or audiophile playback.
Is this a rare pressing?
No. The want-to-have ratio is 13 collectors wanting it versus 385 who own one, and 22 copies are currently listed for sale. RCA's wide US distribution in 1964 means this title surfaces regularly. It is a catalog staple rather than a rarity, so patience will yield a clean copy at a reasonable price.
What is the lowest price I might see for this record?
The lowest asking price across active listings is 1.08 USD, though this typically reflects heavily damaged, unplayable, or severely worn copies. For a playable VG copy, expect to pay 7.76 USD according to the price guide. The 1.08 USD floor represents distressed inventory rather than a realistic target for a listenable record.
