About this record
The red 360 Sound label with white arrows marks this as an original 1969 Columbia pressing, distinguished in the dead wax by a small oval 0 stamped alongside the matrix identifiers XSM 139756 and XSM 139757. This pressing plant credit is the key to separating the US first issue from later reissues and the concurrent Netherlands CBS edition, and it directly affects value across all grades.
What drives its value
Condition dominates pricing on this original US pressing. A Mint copy commands 245.81 USD, while a VG+ example trades around 168.19 USD and a VG copy at 116.44 USD—a steep drop that reflects how vinyl from 1969 rarely survives unplayed.
The market holds 134 copies for sale, with lowest asking at 4.3 USD (likely heavily played or damaged). Community demand is strong: 2850 collectors want it against 22856 who own one, a 1-in-8 ratio that underscores the album's canonical status.
The original US pressing commands a premium over the Netherlands CBS reissue from the same year, as the 360 Sound label and Columbia plant pressing are recognized hallmarks of the first release. Even played copies retain value because the title and artist remain foundational.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the red 360 Sound label with white arrows and the catalogue number KCS 9825 on the cover and label. Inspect the dead wax for the matrix runout XSM 139756 or XSM 139757, followed by a small oval 0 and the pressing plant identifier C3—these markings distinguish the original from later pressings.
The label should credit Columbia Records as the pressing plant. The stereo designation and 10-track count are standard.
Grade by surface condition: look for hairline scratches under light, which separate Mint from NM; light play marks move a copy into VG+; visible groove wear and light surface noise indicate VG; heavier scratches and audible noise drop it to G+ or below. A barcode is absent on originals, so its presence signals a reissue or counterfeit.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this 1969 US pressing from the Netherlands CBS version released the same year?
The US original has a red 360 Sound label with white arrows and the catalogue number KCS 9825. The Netherlands reissue is on CBS with catalogue S 63 601 and a different label design. Check the dead wax for the matrix XSM 139756 or XSM 139757 with the small oval 0 and C3 plant code—this combination confirms the Columbia Records pressing plant and the US first issue.
What is a VG+ copy worth, and how does that compare to lower grades?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 168.19 USD according to the price guide. A VG example drops to 116.44 USD, and a G+ copy falls to 64.69 USD. The sharp decline reflects how quickly surface wear and play noise reduce collector appeal on a 1969 pressing. These are guide estimates as of the most recent data; actual sales vary.
Why is there such a wide price spread from Mint to Good on this record?
Mint copies at 245.81 USD versus Good at 38.81 USD reflect the rarity of unplayed 1969 vinyl and the sensitivity of collectors to condition on a canonical album. Original pressings from this era rarely survive without play marks, dust, or storage wear. Each step down in grade—from Mint to NM to VG+—removes a layer of desirability and playback fidelity, justifying the premium for pristine copies.
Is there a barcode on the original 1969 pressing?
No. The original US pressing has no barcode. If you see a barcode on the cover or label, it is a later reissue or reprint, not the 1969 first edition.
What does the small oval 0 in the runout mean?
The small oval 0 stamped in the dead wax alongside the matrix number is a custom credit denoting the Columbia Records pressing plant. It is a hallmark of the original 1969 US pressing and helps distinguish it from reissues or pressings made at other facilities. Always cross-check it with the red 360 Sound label and KCS 9825 catalogue number.
