About this record
Columbia catalogue 4-33234 is a 7" 45 RPM single by Sonny James pressed for the US market. Only 3 copies are currently listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 2.63 USD, yet a Mint specimen commands 12.14 USD—a spread that reflects how heavily condition drives value on this pop-folk crossover title.
The parallel 13-33234 pressing exists in the same catalogue series, suggesting multiple pressings or reissue variants within Columbia's numbering scheme.
What drives its value
The price guide spans from 0.64 USD (Poor) to 12.14 USD (Mint), with the critical VG+ threshold at 8.31 USD and VG copies valued at 5.75 USD. The gap between NM (10.86 USD) and VG+ (8.31 USD) is steeper than between VG (5.75 USD) and G+ (3.19 USD), meaning collectors pay a premium for near-flawless stock.
With only 3 copies for sale and equal want/have counts (3 each), this single occupies a balanced supply-demand position rather than a hot commodity. The lowest current asking price of 2.63 USD sits between the G+ (3.19 USD) and G (1.92 USD) guide values, suggesting the active listing is either heavily played or priced to move.
The existence of catalogue variant 13-33234 on the same label raises the question of whether multiple pressings command different values—a detail the price guide does not differentiate.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the Columbia label imprint and confirm catalogue number 4-33234 on the label itself; the parallel 13-33234 variant should be checked against the dead wax if visible under magnification, though no matrix string is documented here. The 7" 45 RPM format is standard for this era; confirm the spindle hole diameter and play speed by attempting playback on a calibrated turntable.
Grade by examining both sides under bright light: a Mint copy will show no visible wear, play-back noise, or groove damage; NM allows only the faintest signs of handling; VG+ permits light surface marks that do not affect playback; VG copies show moderate wear and light surface noise during play; G+ and below indicate heavy play, audible crackle, or visible scratches. The 2-track layout (single A and B side) should be confirmed by label text and runout inspection; no barcode is present on this pressing, which is typical for 45s of this vintage.
