About this record
The rear sleeve of this 1966 A&M pressing carries a distinctive "4" in the lower right corner—a detail absent from similar versions, making it a specific variant collectors must verify before purchase. Pressed at Columbia Records' Terre Haute plant and stamped with matrix LP-137 and LP-138, this mono edition of S.R.O. sits in the middle of the market: 92 copies are currently for sale, yet only 30 collectors actively want it against 1396 who own one, signaling a stable but not scarce title.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire price structure on this pressing. A Mint copy commands 9.83 USD, while a Near Mint drops to 8.80 USD—a modest gap that widens sharply as condition declines: VG+ sits at 6.73 USD, VG at 4.66 USD, and Good+ at 2.59 USD.
The floor price across all listed copies is 0.88 USD, reflecting heavy wear or damage. The 1966 US pressing on A&M Records (catalogue LP-119) is the original domestic release, not a reissue, which anchors its baseline value.
With 92 copies in circulation and demand (30 want) significantly outpaced by supply (1396 have), this is a common title; the price reflects its accessibility rather than rarity. The mono format and Terre Haute pressing plant are standard for the era and do not command premiums.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the A&M Records catalogue number LP-119 on the spine and label. The dead-wax matrix stamps read LP-137 on one side and LP-138 on the other, with the full runout strings A+M 137 RE1 2C IIIIII I- and LP 138 R2-2D T AII visible in the runout groove when the record is held to light.
The pressing plant credit—Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Terre Haute—appears on the label or in fine print. The rear sleeve must display a "4" in the lower right corner to match this variant; similar versions lack this numeral.
The album is mono, not stereo. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under bright light for dust, scratches, and groove wear; play-test to confirm audio fidelity.
The label should show the track credits, including the incorrect Jobim/Mendonca attribution on track A3 ("The Girl from Ipanema"), which distinguishes this from corrected later pressings.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number for this pressing?
A&M Records LP-119. This is the original 1966 US domestic release on A&M, not a reissue.
How do I identify the Terre Haute pressing plant version?
Look for the Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Terre Haute credit on the label or in the fine print. The matrix runout stamps LP-137 and LP-138 (with full strings A+M 137 RE1 2C IIIIII I- and LP 138 R2-2D T AII) confirm the pressing plant origin when examined under light in the dead wax.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 6.73 USD. This estimate reflects the guide's snapshot; actual market prices vary based on seller and buyer negotiation.
Why does the rear sleeve have a "4" in the lower right corner?
This is a variant detail specific to this pressing. Similar versions of S.R.O. do not carry this "4"; its presence distinguishes this particular sleeve printing and may indicate a specific pressing run or reorder batch, though the exact reason is not documented in standard discographies.
Is the track credit error for 'The Girl from Ipanema' on this pressing?
Yes. Track A3 is incorrectly credited to Jobim and Mendonca on the label, when the correct credit is Michel Legrand (music) and Norman Gimbel (English lyrics). Other releases of this album have the credit corrected, making this label variant a distinguishing feature of the 1966 A&M pressing.
