About this record
This 1971 Columbia pressing carries four distinct matrix variations across its two records, stamped by either the main Columbia Records plant or CBS Inc., a signature of the high-volume domestic release. The runout codes—C 31121 AL/BL and C 31122 AL/BL—reveal which pressing facility cut the lacquer, and collectors report a label variant where RECORD 1 shifts position on side one, a detail that separates early from later pressings of the same catalogue number KG 31120.
What drives its value
The US 1971 pressing commands a wide condition-based spread: from 33.4 USD in Mint down to 1.76 USD in Poor, with a VG+ copy settling around 22.86 USD according to the price guide. Currently 98 copies are listed for sale, with the lowest asking 2.54 USD—a floor driven by worn inventory rather than market consensus.
Community ownership stands at 16,860 against 543 want-list entries, reflecting the title's ubiquity in the secondary market. The Netherlands CBS pressing (CBS S67239, same year) represents the only other contemporary variant tracked here, making the US original the default reference for this compilation's pressing history.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number KG 31120 on the spine and front cover, printed in the United States. Examine the dead-wax runout on each side: side one should read either C 31121 AL 31121 or C 31121 BL 31121, while side two reads either C 31122 AL 31122 or C 31122 BL 31122.
The matrix prefix C indicates Columbia Records; the suffix (AL or BL) denotes the pressing plant—AL for the main Columbia Records facility and BL for CBS Inc. Check the label for the RECORD 1 placement variant noted in the release documentation: early copies position it on the right side beneath the label code under SIDE ONE. The copyright line should read © 1971 Bob Dylan / Manufactured by Columbia Records, CBS, Inc. / 51 W.
52 Street, New York, N.Y., with Printed in U.S.A. at the bottom. No barcode appears on this pressing.

Frequently asked
What is the price difference between a Mint and VG+ copy of this pressing?
A Mint copy is valued at 33.4 USD, while a VG+ copy is estimated at 22.86 USD according to the price guide. The spread reflects the sensitivity of 1971 domestic pressings to handling and storage; even minor surface wear or slight warping drops the grade significantly.
Why are there four different matrix runout codes on this single album?
The four runout variations—C 31121 AL/BL on record one and C 31122 AL/BL on record two—result from the use of two separate pressing plants (Columbia Records and CBS Inc.) and the need to cut fresh lacquers for each side. This was standard practice for high-demand compilations in 1971, allowing parallel production to meet retail demand.
Is the US pressing more valuable than the Netherlands CBS pressing from the same year?
The US Columbia pressing (KG 31120) is the primary domestic release and commands the price guide valuations shown here. The Netherlands CBS variant (CBS S67239) represents a separate market tier; no direct price comparison is available, but US originals typically hold stronger collector demand domestically.
What does the RECORD 1 label variant mean for value?
The release notes document a variation in which RECORD 1 appears on the right side of the label under the label code beneath SIDE ONE. This variant is a known pressing quirk but does not command a premium; both versions are treated as the same catalogue number KG 31120 in the market.
Why is the lowest asking price only 2.54 USD when the price guide shows 1.76 USD for Poor condition?
The lowest price of 2.54 USD represents the floor of current market listings (98 copies for sale) and may reflect dealer inventory clearance or bulk lots rather than a graded, individual copy. The price guide 1.76 USD is a theoretical minimum for a Poor-grade copy; actual sales cluster higher when condition is documented and shipping is factored in.
