About this record
The runout matrix S39441 and S39442 on this 1969 Warner Bros. WS 1770 pressing carry etched codes, but the variant stamped with 'C 3 P' and 'A 8 P' signals a Columbia Records Pitman plant pressing that diverges from the standard dead-wax pattern. Demand sits modest—47 collectors want it against 1477 who own one—yet 68 copies currently list across the market, suggesting steady availability at the lowest asking price of 0.89.
What drives its value
A Mint copy of WS 1770 commands 13.10, while a Near Mint drops to 11.72 and a VG+ settles at 8.96; the VG grade holds at 6.20. The 68 active listings at 0.89 floor price reflect the comedy album's soft secondary demand: the want-to-have ratio of 47 to 1477 indicates this 1969 non-music title attracts casual collectors rather than specialists.
The Pitman pressing plant attribution and the stamped variant codes (C 3 P, A 8 P) distinguish this from other Warner Bros. comedy releases, but the narrow price spread from VG to Mint—only 6.90 separating 6.20 from 13.10—shows condition matters less here than for music pressings. Community rating of 3.43 across 58 votes reflects the niche appeal of Bill Cosby comedy vinyl in the current market.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number WS 1770 on the front cover and label. The dead-wax runout will display either the etched matrix S39441 (side A) or S39442 (side B), or the variant stamped codes 'C 3 P' and 'A 8 P' respectively—the release notes specify that stamped runouts appear on variant 2 and variant 4, distinguishing them from the standard etched versions.
The Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Pitman attribution can be verified by examining the runout closely; the matrix string 39441-WS-1770A-1C or 39442-WS-1770B-1C will appear in the dead wax. Grade the record by surface cleanliness and groove wear: a Mint copy shows no play marks, while VG+ allows light surface marks that do not affect playback.
The 9-track comedy album format and non-music genre classification confirm you hold the correct release.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number for this pressing?
Warner Bros. WS 1770. This is the sole catalogue identifier for the 1969 US release.
How do I identify the Pitman plant pressing versus other variants?
Check the dead-wax runout. The Pitman pressing carries stamped codes 'C 3 P' (side B) or 'A 8 P' (variant 2), whereas the standard pressing shows etched matrix S39441 and S39442. The release notes confirm that stamped runouts appear on variant 2 and variant 4, so the presence of stamped rather than etched codes marks the Pitman attribution.
What is a VG+ copy worth according to the price guide?
A VG+ graded copy is valued at 8.96 USD. This estimate reflects the price guide as of its publication date and represents the mid-range condition tier; actual market prices may vary.
How many copies are currently for sale, and what is the lowest asking price?
68 copies are listed across the market, with the lowest asking price at 0.89 USD. This floor price indicates soft demand and steady supply for this 1969 comedy album.
What does the community data tell me about collector interest?
1477 collectors have this record in their collection, while 47 want it—a ratio that reflects niche appeal rather than broad demand. The community rating of 3.43 across 58 votes suggests moderate engagement; this is a casual-collector title rather than a sought specialist pressing.
