About this record
The dead-wax matrix stamps on this 1962 Verve pressing reveal a manufacturing detail often overlooked: the runout codes 61-VGS-548 and 61-VGS-549 identify it as a product of MGM Record Manufacturing Division, not Verve's in-house plant. This stereo LP marked the first major crossover between American cool jazz and Brazilian bossa nova, and the pressing plant signature matters to collectors tracking the earliest US stock.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this title. A Mint copy commands 109.20 USD, while Near Mint drops to 97.70 USD—a steep curve that reflects how few unplayed copies survive.
The VG+ tier sits at 74.71 USD, and by VG the price halves to 51.72 USD, signaling that surface wear and groove damage accumulate fast on a record this old and this played. With 42 copies currently for sale, supply is moderate, yet demand remains strong: 1,418 collectors want it against 5,487 who own one, a ratio indicating sustained collector interest.
The catalogue number V6-8432 is the stereo issue; the mono V-8432 variant exists but commands different pricing. Original 1962 US pressings from MGM Manufacturing hold their value better than later reissues because early Verve stereo stock is scarcer.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Verve catalogue number V6-8432 stamped on the label and jacket. The dead-wax runout should read either 61-VGS-548 or 61-VGS-549, often with the MGM plant mark and a block-shaped S symbol.
The label itself is Verve's 1962 design with the harp logo and stereo designation. To grade accurately: examine the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and micro-abrasions—even light play on a 1962 pressing leaves traces.
Check groove walls with a magnifying glass; VG+ copies show minimal dust and no audible surface noise on quiet passages. Listen to the opening of "Desafinado" and the fade of "O Pato"—these expose surface degradation quickly.
Warping is rare but check the record's flatness by laying it on a turntable without the platter. Any visible label wear, seam splits on the jacket, or ring wear reduces grade by half a tier.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this 1962 MGM pressing apart from the mono V-8432 or later Verve reissues?
The catalogue number V6-8432 on the label (not V-8432) confirms stereo. The dead-wax runout codes 61-VGS-548 or 61-VGS-549 with the MGM plant identifier and block S mark this as the original 1962 US pressing from MGM Manufacturing Division. Mono copies lack the "6" in the catalogue number and carry different matrix codes. Later reissues typically show different pressing plant marks or updated label designs.
What is a VG+ copy worth, and how does it compare to a Mint one?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 74.71 USD according to the price guide. A Mint copy reaches 109.20 USD, reflecting the steep premium for unplayed stock. The jump from VG+ to Mint is substantial because so few copies of this 1962 pressing have survived without any play wear—most were heavily used in radio stations and clubs during the bossa nova craze.
Why are there two different matrix runout codes on the same pressing?
Jazz Samba is a 7-track album pressed on two sides. Side A carries the matrix 61-VGS-548, and Side B carries 61-VGS-549. Both codes identify the same 1962 MGM Manufacturing pressing and are normal for a stereo LP of this era. The presence of both codes on a single record confirms it is a complete, original pressing rather than a reissue or side-only variant.
What does the community have/want ratio tell me about this record's desirability?
With 1,418 collectors wanting it and 5,487 owning one, the want-to-have ratio is roughly 1:4—higher than many jazz LPs, indicating sustained collector demand. The 4.39 rating from 355 community votes reflects broad appreciation. This ratio suggests the record is neither a forgotten deep cut nor a hyper-rare holy grail, but a classic that remains actively sought by newcomers and upgraders hunting for better-condition copies.
Is 4.06 USD the real market price, or is the 51.72 USD VG estimate more accurate?
The 4.06 USD is the lowest asking price among the 42 copies currently for sale—likely a poor-condition or damaged copy. The 51.72 USD VG estimate from the price guide reflects what a typical, playable copy in good condition should fetch. For a record this collectible, assume the 4.06 USD outlier is either heavily damaged, a mono variant, or a mislist; use the condition-based estimates (VG through Mint) as your market benchmark.
