About this record
Issued by Selezione Dal Reader's Digest in Italy in 1966 under catalogue RDM 13P, this twenty-track opera compilation is a Special Edition LP that collects arias from Mozart, Donizetti, Verdi, Bizet, Ponchielli, Rossini, Puccini and Mascagni. The release has no barcode, so identification rests on the catalogue number and the label imprint rather than a scannable code.
With 127 collectors listing a copy as owned and only 2 listing it as wanted, supply is comfortable and buyers have time to choose their grade carefully.
What drives its value
The price guide puts a Mint copy at 24.28 USD, Near Mint at 21.72, VG+ at 16.61, VG at 11.50, G+ at 6.39, G at 3.83, Fair at 2.56 and Poor at 1.28. That spread, from 1.28 at Poor up to 24.28 at Mint, shows how strongly the price depends on surface condition for a Reader's Digest compilation of this age.
The lowest current listing is 1.41 USD, and 24 copies are for sale, so a buyer has a wide choice of grades. Community data gives 127 owners against 2 wanters, which explains why the market is thin on demand and prices sit at the modest end of the guide.
Because this is an Italian Selezione edition issued as a compilation rather than a single-artist original, the price is driven by grade and not by a reissue premium.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the catalogue number RDM 13P on the spine, sleeve and label, and check that the imprint reads Selezione Dal Reader's Digest with the 1966 Italian issue details. The release carries a Special Edition designation and is catalogued as an LP compilation, so a copy that lists a different label or catalogue number belongs to another issue.
No matrix string or pressing plant is recorded in the data for this release, so do not rely on a dead-wax code to authenticate it; compare the sleeve artwork, track listing of 20 items and label design against a verified copy instead. Grade the vinyl by inspecting the playing surface under a bright light at an angle, and grade the sleeve separately for ring wear, splits and seam splits, since the Poor-to-Mint price band from 1.28 to 24.28 turns on exactly these details.
