About this record
The runout matrices XSB - 2878 and XSB - 2879 stamped in the dead wax identify this 1984 Brazilian pressing as a product of RCA Eletrônica Ltda., the São Paulo plant that handled Discos CBS catalogue number 230095. Unlike later reissues, this original carries no barcode, a hallmark of early-1980s Brazilian vinyl.
The 9-track MPB and ballad collection sits in a narrow price band: Mint copies fetch 10.93 USD while Poor graded stock trades at 0.58 USD, reflecting how condition dominates value on this title.
What drives its value
This pressing commands a steep condition premium because supply is fragmented across 21 active listings. A Mint copy reaches 10.93 USD, but drops to 9.78 USD in Near Mint, then 7.48 USD in VG+—a sharp cliff that reflects the wear patterns typical of Brazilian vinyl from this era.
The VG grade sits at 5.18 USD. Community data shows 568 collectors own a copy against only 16 seeking one, indicating this is not rare by absolute count but remains sought after in high grades.
The original 1984 Discos CBS pressing on RCA Eletrônica Ltda. holds its value better than later reissues because the plant's pressing quality and the album's status as Roberto Carlos' self-titled work in the MPB canon sustain collector interest. The lowest asking price of 0.65 USD reflects heavily played or damaged stock.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Discos CBS label and catalogue number 230095 printed on the spine and label. Examine the dead wax on both sides: Side A should read XSB - 2878 and Side B XSB - 2879, the matrix codes assigned by RCA Eletrônica Ltda., the pressing plant.
The absence of a barcode on the back cover is diagnostic of the 1984 original; later reissues added barcodes. The 9-track sequence—typical for this album—should list MPB and ballad material.
Grade by surface noise, groove wear, and label condition: Mint (10.93 USD) shows no play; Near Mint (9.78 USD) has minimal hairline marks; VG+ (7.48 USD) exhibits light surface noise on quiet passages. Brazilian vinyl from this plant often shows slight warp or pressing inconsistencies; these do not disqualify a VG+ grade if playback is unaffected.

Frequently asked
How do I know this is the original 1984 pressing and not a later reissue?
Check the dead wax for the matrix codes XSB - 2878 (Side A) and XSB - 2879 (Side B). These codes were assigned by RCA Eletrônica Ltda., the São Paulo pressing plant that produced the 1984 original for Discos CBS catalogue 230095. Verify the absence of a barcode on the back cover; later reissues added barcodes. The label should read Discos CBS with no mention of a reissue or remaster.
What is a VG+ copy worth, and how does it compare to Mint?
A VG+ graded copy is estimated at 7.48 USD according to the price guide. A Mint copy reaches 10.93 USD, making the condition spread significant on this title. The jump from VG+ to Mint reflects the rarity of unplayed Brazilian vinyl from 1984; most copies show at least light surface noise from storage or play.
Why is there such a wide price range from Mint down to Poor?
Mint copies at 10.93 USD represent unplayed stock, extremely scarce for a 1984 Brazilian pressing. The price drops to 9.78 USD in Near Mint, then 7.48 USD in VG+, because surface noise and groove wear become audible. By Poor grade (0.58 USD), the record is barely playable. The 21 active listings show most copies cluster in the VG to VG+ range, where the 5.18 USD to 7.48 USD band reflects typical wear from home play.
Is this album rare or common among collectors?
It is common by absolute count: 568 collectors report owning a copy, against only 16 seeking one. However, the original 1984 Discos CBS pressing on RCA Eletrônica Ltda. is less common than later reissues. The low want-to-have ratio (16 to 568) suggests that most demand is satisfied by available stock, but high-grade copies remain desirable because they are scarce.
What does the lowest asking price of 0.65 USD tell me?
The lowest price of 0.65 USD represents heavily played, damaged, or unplayable stock—typically Poor or Fair grade. It does not reflect the value of a collectible copy. Most active sellers price VG to VG+ copies in the 5.18 USD to 7.48 USD range, which is where the market for playable, listenable copies actually trades.
