About this record
The dead wax carries the matrix string UA3142A-1A I on side one and UA3142B-1A I on side two, which places this copy in a specific RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis run rather than an unidentified stamper. The label is United Artists Records of 729 Seventh Ave., New York, and the catalogue number UAL 3142 is printed on both sides of the matrix.
Pressed in the US in 1961 as a mono LP, it is the domestic first issue on this listing, with a Canadian 1961 pressing under the same catalogue number as the only other edition recorded.
What drives its value
The price guide places this pressing from 10.91 for a Mint copy down to 5.17 for a VG copy, with a VG+ estimate of 7.47 and an NM estimate of 9.77; these are guide estimates, and the guide does not carry a current live listing price or a count of copies for sale. Demand is measured by 118 owners and 4 people wanting it, a ratio that favours supply over competition for the record.
The one other recorded edition is the 1961 Canadian pressing on United Artists under UAL 3142, so the US pressing is the reference copy a buyer will be compared against. Because the US copy is the original domestic issue and the Canadian one is a separate market pressing, the two are not interchangeable in listings, and a buyer should confirm the country of pressing before paying the US figure.
How to appraise this pressing
Start with the dead wax. A genuine copy of this US pressing shows UAL 3142 A and UAL 3142 B on the runouts, with the plant-stamped matrix strings UA3142A-1A I and UA3142B-1A I beneath them; if the matrix strings are absent or differ, treat the copy as unverified.
The release notes state that the label reads the tracks as listed, and that the cover titles differ on three tracks: A3 is printed as Ja Da on the cover, B5 as Asia-Minor, and B6 as Honky-Tonk (Part 2). Check the label on the record against these titles, since a copy whose label and sleeve disagree on those tracks is a known mismatch to examine closely.
The barcode is absent on this release, so the catalogue number and matrix are the only identifiers to rely on. Grade the disc by sight and playback against the guide's Mint, NM, VG+, VG, and lower bands, judging the surfaces and sleeve rather than relying on a single grade for the whole copy.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of this pressing worth?
The price guide lists a VG+ estimate of 7.47 USD for this pressing. This is an estimate taken from the guide, not a live sale price, and the guide does not carry a current lowest listing price for the record.
What is a Mint copy worth?
The price guide gives 10.91 USD for a Mint copy, which is the top figure on the guide's scale for this pressing. It is an estimate, and the guide's lowest_price and count of copies for sale are both unrecorded for this release.
Is there a Canadian version and how does it differ?
Yes. The other recorded pressing is a 1961 Canadian issue on United Artists Records under catalogue number UAL 3142. It is a separate market pressing, so a listing for it should be checked against its country and label details rather than priced as the US original.
How do I confirm this is the US original?
Check the dead wax for the matrix strings UA3142A-1A I and UA3142B-1A I, the catalogue number UAL 3142 on both sides, and the RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis attribution. Also confirm that the label credits United Artists Records of 729 Seventh Ave., New York, and that the track titles on the label match the release notes for A3, B5, and B6.
Why do the track titles on the sleeve not match the label?
The release notes record that the tracks are listed as they appear on the label, while three cover titles differ from the label: A3 Ja Da, B5 Asia-Minor, and B6 Honky-Tonk (Part 2). The label is the authoritative reference for this pressing, so a sleeve showing different titles does not on its own mean the record is wrong.
