About this record
Van Gelder's studio stamp in the dead wax—etched alongside the Monarch Record Mfg. Co. logo—identifies this 1970 A&M pressing of Tide as a US original, not a later reissue.
The matrix runouts SP-3061 and SP-3062, both dated 7-2-70, confirm the recording session occurred in May 1970 at Van Gelder Studios. Demand outpaces supply: 563 collectors want this title against 1440 who own it, yet only 17 copies are listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 10.67 USD.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market on this Monarch pressing. A Mint copy commands 163.88 USD, while NM drops to 146.63 USD—a narrow gap reflecting the rarity of truly unplayed stock.
The slide accelerates at VG+: 112.13 USD. By VG, the price falls to 77.63 USD, and a G+ copy trades at 43.13 USD.
The original US pressing on A&M (catalogue SP-3031) carries a 4.21 community rating across 111 votes, suggesting consistent collector regard. With 563 want-list entries against 1440 have-list entries, this remains a sought title, though the 17 copies currently for sale indicate moderate availability at the lowest tier.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by the label: A&M Records, catalogue SP-3031 (on labels) or SP 3031 (on sleeve). The dead-wax etchings read SP-3061 7-2-70 VAN GELDER (MR) and SP-3062 7-2-70 VAN GELDER (MR), with matrix numbers Δ15034 and Δ15034-X respectively.
The Monarch Record Mfg. Co. logo and VAN GELDER credit are stamped into the runout.
Grade by surface cleanliness and groove wear: a Mint copy shows no play marks; NM allows only light dust; VG+ permits light surface noise on quiet passages; VG accepts moderate crackle. The 9-track album includes Joe Farrell on courtesy of CTI Records.
No barcode appears on original US pressings.
