About this record
The UK CBS pressing of New Morning carries matrix runouts ending in A1, A2, B1, or B2—a fingerprint of 1970 original stock that separates it from later reissues. Catalogue S 69001 appears on both the sleeve and label, though some copies omit the price code on the rear entirely.
With 76 copies currently for sale and demand from 356 collectors against 3352 who own one, this pressing sits in a stable mid-tier market position.
What drives its value
A Mint copy of this UK CBS pressing commands 77.12 USD, while a VG+ example trades at 52.76 USD—a meaningful spread that reflects how original 1970 pressings respond to storage and play. The lowest asking price across 76 active listings stands at 2 USD, though that outlier does not reflect typical market value; NM copies hover near 69 USD.
The 356 want-to-3352-have ratio suggests this is a well-distributed title rather than a chase pressing, so condition becomes the primary value driver. Original matrix codes (A1, A2, B1, B2) confirm authenticity and 1970 manufacture, which commands a premium over undated reissues or later CBS repressings that lack this matrix documentation.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the UK pressing by checking the label: CBS catalogue S 69001 (or 69001 without the S prefix on some copies). Examine the dead wax on both sides—original 1970 stock reads S-69001-A1, S-69001-A2, S-69001-B1, or S 69001 B3 (note the spacing variation in the B3 matrix).
The inner sleeve should advertise other CBS LPs; absence of a price code on the rear sleeve indicates a variant within the original 1970 run. No barcode appears on genuine 1970 copies.
Grade by visual inspection of the vinyl surface under light and by listening for surface noise; the price guide reflects estimates as of its publication date and assumes accurate grading.

Frequently asked
How do I confirm this is a 1970 UK original and not a later reissue?
Check the matrix runout stamped in the dead wax on both sides of the vinyl. Original 1970 pressings read S-69001-A1, S-69001-A2, S-69001-B1, or S 69001 B3. Later reissues typically carry different matrix codes or lack this CBS-specific format. The label should read CBS with catalogue S 69001. Absence of a barcode also confirms 1970 manufacture.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 52.76 USD. This represents a record with light surface marks visible under light but minimal audible distortion. The estimate reflects market data and assumes accurate grading; actual sales vary based on seller reputation and buyer negotiation.
What is the price difference between Mint and VG condition?
A Mint copy is listed at 77.12 USD, while a VG copy is valued at 36.53 USD. The gap reflects the sensitivity of original 1970 pressings to storage conditions and play wear. Even light handling leaves visible marks that collectors and graders detect, so preservation matters significantly on this title.
Why do some copies lack a price code on the rear sleeve?
The release notes document that some 1970 original pressings were printed without the price code on the rear of the sleeve. This is a known variant within the original 1970 run and does not indicate a reissue or counterfeit. Both versions carry the same matrix codes and CBS catalogue number.
Is this a rare pressing?
No. The community database shows 3352 collectors own this pressing against 356 who want it, indicating stable supply. With 76 copies currently listed for sale, it is readily available. The original 1970 UK CBS pressing is not a chase item, so value rests on condition grade rather than scarcity.
