About this record
The Santa Maria pressing plant stamped this 1977 Columbia release with the matrix codes AL 34905 and BL 34905, marked by an "S" etch in the runouts to distinguish it from later variants. Demand outpaces supply: 1136 collectors want this title against 9121 who own one, yet only 77 copies are listed for sale across the market.
The price spread from Mint at 94.84 USD down to Poor at 4.99 USD reflects how sharply condition drives value on this five-track stereo album.
What drives its value
A Mint copy commands 94.84 USD, while NM drops to 84.86 USD and VG+ settles at 64.89 USD—a steep decline that rewards careful storage. The VG price of 44.93 USD marks the threshold where play wear becomes visible; below that, G+ at 24.96 USD and G at 14.98 USD are entry points for listeners unconcerned with surface noise.
With 77 copies currently for sale and a lowest asking price of 0.67 USD (likely a data outlier), the median market is tighter than raw inventory suggests. The want-to-have ratio of 1136 to 9121 indicates steady collector interest without scarcity panic.
As the original US Columbia pressing on the Santa Maria plant, this version holds its value better than reissues; the "S" runout etch (AL 34905 and BL 34905) confirms authenticity and pressing-plant provenance.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the catalogue number JC 34905 on the spine and label. Check both sides of the dead wax: Side A should read "1 S PAL 34905 1H TML-S B21" and Side B "1 S PBL 34905 1B TML-S B18"; the "S" prefix is the key identifier for the Santa Maria pressing.
The absence of a barcode confirms this is an original 1977 pressing rather than a later reissue. Look for the giant poster and lyric inner sleeve—both were issued with this release and their presence or absence affects perceived completeness.
Grade the vinyl by examining the playing surface under light: Mint (94.84 USD) shows no visible marks; NM (84.86 USD) may have light dust but no groove wear; VG+ (64.89 USD) exhibits light surface marks audible only between tracks; VG (44.93 USD) shows clear play wear and light scratches. The label should be clean with no seam splits or water damage to the gatefold.

Frequently asked
How do I confirm this is the original 1977 Santa Maria pressing and not a reissue?
Check the runout etch on both sides of the vinyl. Side A reads "1 S PAL 34905 1H TML-S B21" and Side B reads "1 S PBL 34905 1B TML-S B18". The "S" prefix and the TML-S plant code identify this as the Columbia Records Pressing Plant in Santa Maria. The catalogue number JC 34905 on the label and spine confirms the original 1977 Columbia release. Reissues typically carry different matrix codes or lack the "S" etch entirely.
What is a VG+ copy worth, and how does that compare to Mint?
A VG+ copy is valued at 64.89 USD according to the price guide. A Mint copy reaches 94.84 USD, making the difference substantial. VG+ shows light surface marks audible only between tracks, while Mint exhibits no visible marks. For a record pressed in 1977, finding a true Mint example is rare; most collectors encounter VG+ or VG (44.93 USD) copies in the field.
Is this pressing scarce, or are copies readily available?
Currently 77 copies are listed for sale across the market, which is moderate inventory for a major-label 1977 release. However, the want-to-have ratio tells a different story: 1136 collectors want this title against 9121 who own one. This suggests steady demand without acute scarcity. The lowest asking price of 0.67 USD is an outlier; realistic market prices cluster around VG+ (64.89 USD) to NM (84.86 USD) for clean examples.
What condition should I expect to find, and what does it cost?
Most copies in circulation grade VG to VG+ (44.93 USD to 64.89 USD), reflecting four decades of play and storage. NM copies (84.86 USD) are uncommon but not impossible; they typically come from light-play collections or sealed stock. Mint (94.84 USD) is rare for a 1977 pressing. Below VG, prices drop sharply: G+ is 24.96 USD, G is 14.98 USD, and F is 9.98 USD. Condition is the entire value driver on this title.
What makes this pressing collectible beyond the music itself?
The original 1977 Santa Maria pressing carries the matrix codes AL 34905 and BL 34905 with the "S" etch, marking it as distinct from later reissues. It was issued with a giant poster and lyric inner sleeve, both of which add to the package's appeal and value. The album features vocal collaborations between Maurice White and Philip Bailey and was recorded across three major California studios: Hollywood Sound, Sunset Sound, and The Burbank Studios. The kalimba staff credits (Leonard Smith, Julius West, Geri White, and Monte White) document the instrumental lineup on a funk-soul landmark.
