About this record
The runout matrix on both sides stamps this February 1980 Italian pressing with the plant code 14138 and the RIFI RECORD CO. imprint, distinguishing it from later reissues. Pino Calvi's Romantic N.
12 on the Rifi label carries catalogue RDZ-ST 14318 and was pressed for the domestic Italian market under the 'Tempo Libero e Cultura' series. The 12-track lounge-jazz album sits in a crowded secondary market: 28 copies are currently for sale, yet demand remains steady with 45 collectors wanting it against 72 who own one.
What drives its value
This pressing trades on condition more than rarity. A Mint copy reaches 12.28 USD, but the spread compresses sharply as condition falls—a VG+ drops to 8.4 USD, and VG copies settle at 5.81 USD.
The floor is steep: even Fair copies trade at 1.29 USD, and Poor specimens hit 0.65 USD. With 28 copies in circulation and a lowest asking price of 0.5 USD, the market is soft.
The want-to-have ratio (45 want against 72 have) suggests mild collector interest rather than scarcity premium. Condition grading is therefore the sole lever on value; an NM copy at 10.98 USD occupies the sweet spot between Mint fragility and the VG+ threshold at 8.4 USD.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the catalogue number RDZ-ST 14318 on the spine and label. The dead-wax runout on both sides reads 'RDZ ST 14318 33 giri 14138 / A SIAE STEREO (P) 1980 Febbraio 1980 RIFI RECORD CO.' (Side A) and the same with '/ B' for Side B.
The pressing plant code 14138 and the February 1980 date confirm the original Italian pressing. The label carries no barcode.
Grade by the 12 tracks and stereo fidelity: listen for surface noise and inner-groove distortion on Sides A and B separately, as lounge jazz of this era is sensitive to pressing quality. The cover should bear the 'Tempo Libero e Cultura' series mark and the Milano distributor address (C.so Buenos Aires 77).
Any later reissue will omit the plant code or carry a different runout string.

Frequently asked
What is the runout matrix on this pressing?
Both sides carry 'RDZ ST 14318 33 giri 14138 / SIAE STEREO (P) 1980 Febbraio 1980 RIFI RECORD CO.' with '/ A' on Side A and '/ B' on Side B. The plant code 14138 is the key identifier for this original Italian pressing from February 1980.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 8.4 USD. This represents a significant drop from the Mint price of 12.28 USD and sits midway between NM (10.98 USD) and VG (5.81 USD), making it the most realistic target for buyers seeking playable copies.
Is this a rare record?
No. With 72 collectors reporting ownership and 28 copies currently listed for sale, it is moderately common in the secondary market. The want-to-have ratio of 45 to 72 indicates steady but not urgent demand, typical of a mid-tier lounge-jazz title from the early 1980s Italian market.
What is the lowest price I might find this record for?
The lowest asking price recorded is 0.5 USD, though such copies are likely Poor or Fair condition. A playable VG copy costs 5.81 USD according to the price guide, and an NM copy is valued at 10.98 USD—realistic benchmarks for condition-conscious buyers.
How do I confirm this is the original 1980 pressing and not a reissue?
Check the runout matrix in the dead wax on both sides for the plant code 14138 and the date 'Febbraio 1980'. Verify the catalogue number RDZ-ST 14318 on the label and spine. The absence of a barcode also confirms the original Italian pressing; later reissues typically added barcodes. The release notes should reference 'Tempo Libero e Cultura' and the Milano distributor address.
