About this record
Pressed at Industrias Eléctricas y Musicales Odeon in Chile under catalogue LPC-37044, this 1971 CBS reissue of Ray Conniff's easy-listening arrangement album carries a notably steep price gradient—Mint copies command 36.98 USD while VG grades sit at 17.52 USD, a spread that reflects how few clean copies have survived the South American market. Only 1 copy is currently listed for sale at 19.14 USD, against 33 collectors who own one and 6 actively seeking it.
What drives its value
The price structure on this Chilean pressing is driven almost entirely by condition. A Mint copy reaches 36.98 USD, while NM drops to 33.08 USD and VG+ settles at 25.30 USD—the gap between Mint and VG+ alone accounts for the volatility in the secondary market.
The single active listing at 19.14 USD sits between the VG grade valuation of 17.52 USD and VG+ at 25.30 USD, suggesting realistic asking prices anchor near played-in condition. Demand is modest (6 want against 33 have), typical for regional reissues of easy-listening catalog, but the scarcity of high-grade copies—only 1 for sale—means collectors willing to pay for preservation-grade stock face limited options.
The Odeon pressing plant attribution and Chilean origin add regional specificity that collectors of Latin American CBS pressings track separately from European or North American variants.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the catalogue number LPC-37044 on the front cover and spine. The label itself should read CBS with the Odeon plant credit, either printed or embossed on the label.
The dead-wax runout area will carry the Industrias Eléctricas y Musicales Odeon, S.A. attribution—check the inner groove near the label for plant codes or matrix numbers specific to this facility. The record contains 11 tracks and ships as a reissue (not an original pressing), so expect the jacket and vinyl to reflect 1971 manufacture but potentially earlier master sources.
No barcode appears on this edition. Grade by examining both sides for hairline scratches under light; the steep valuation cliff between VG+ (25.30 USD) and VG (17.52 USD) means even light surface wear will drop a copy into the lower tier.
Play-test to confirm no skips or warping, as the easy-listening format masks subtle groove damage less obviously than rock or jazz.

Frequently asked
What is the current market price for a VG+ copy?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 25.30 USD. The single listing currently active is priced at 19.14 USD, which sits below VG+ but above the straight VG grade of 17.52 USD, indicating the seller may be pricing for quick sale or the copy shows mixed condition.
How much more is a Mint copy worth than a VG copy?
A Mint copy is listed at 36.98 USD in the price guide, while a VG copy is 17.52 USD. The difference reflects the extreme scarcity of unplayed South American pressings; most copies in the market have been played and show surface wear typical of regional distribution.
Why is there only 1 copy for sale when 33 people own one?
Collectors who own copies often do not list them for sale, especially regional pressings with modest demand. The 6 active want-list entries suggest interest exists, but the low turnover means copies remain in personal collections rather than circulating through the secondary market. When one does appear, it typically sells quickly.
Is this the original 1971 pressing or a later reissue?
This is a reissue, not the original pressing. The format description explicitly identifies it as a reissue, though it was manufactured in 1971 in Chile. Original pressings of this title may carry different catalogue numbers or plant attributions; verify the Odeon plant credit and LPC-37044 catalogue number to confirm you have this specific Chilean CBS variant.
What does the Odeon pressing plant attribution tell me?
Industrias Eléctricas y Musicales Odeon, S.A. was CBS's manufacturing partner in Chile. Records pressed there typically show regional-market characteristics—different sleeve finishes, label stocks, and vinyl formulations than European or North American CBS releases. This attribution confirms Chilean origin and helps distinguish this pressing from other Ray Conniff reissues of the same era.
