About this record
The want/have signal for Beaver & Krause’s Gandharva is 258 wanting against 699 who have it, giving this US Warner Bros. Records pressing a clear demand snapshot. Its distinctive identification is the Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Pitman variant: green labels, blue sleeve artwork, and etched runouts with a stamped Artisan logo.
Side Two was recorded at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco on February 10–11, 1971.
What drives its value
No price_guide or lowest_price data is supplied, so a Mint-to-VG price spread and current copies-for-sale count cannot be stated without inventing figures. The available market signal is the community count: 258 want Gandharva and 699 have it, alongside a 3.94 rating from 62 ratings.
Those figures describe recorded community interest, not sale frequency or a sale price. The release notes identify this as a Pitman pressing variant of the original issue, not a later reissue; its US origin, Warner Bros. Records label, and catalogue number WS 1909 help distinguish it from other pressings.
The Pitman identification and specific sleeve and label details are useful when comparing listings, but the supplied facts do not establish a monetary premium for this variant.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the copy against the US Warner Bros. Records label and catalogue number WS 1909, then compare its physical details with the documented Pitman variant: green labels and blue artwork on the sleeve. The identified plant is Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Pitman.
The supplied runouts are S39853 and S39854, with fuller forms p WS-1909 39853-2 1 1 [Artisan logo] and p 39854-2 [Artisan logo]. The release notes specify that the runout text is etched and the Artisan logo stamped, a useful distinction when checking the dead wax.
Side Two’s recording at Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, on February 10–11, 1971, is a release-note detail, not a substitute for matching the pressing identifiers. Grade the copy against the actual condition of its labels, sleeve, and playing surfaces; no condition-specific price guide is supplied here.
