About this record
Deutsche Grammophon pressed this 1967 German A&M release with catalogue 212 001, stamping the dead wax with runout codes 1 Ⓟ 1967 G 7 ◇ K 0 212001 A and 1 Ⓟ 1967 0 G 7 ◇ K 212001 B across its 11 tracks. Community data shows 733 collectors own it against 30 who want one, a ratio that reflects its availability in the secondary market relative to the concurrent US pressing (SP-4124) and the later 1968 Italian variant (SP 4124).
The stereo Latin Jazz and Easy Listening content earned a 3.78 rating from 58 community votes, placing it solidly in collector circulation rather than scarcity territory.
What drives its value
This German pressing trades on its Deutsche Grammophon manufacturing provenance and regional scarcity relative to the original US release. The 733 copies in collector hands versus 30 want-list entries indicates steady but not urgent demand; the ratio suggests copies surface regularly enough that buyers are not competing fiercely.
The 1967 date and catalogue 212 001 mark it as a first pressing for the German market, distinct from the US original (SP-4124) and the 1968 Italian reissue (SP 4124). Without price_guide data provided, the market value cannot be stated in absolute terms, but German pressings of this era typically command modest premiums over US copies when condition is equivalent, driven by the Deutsche Grammophon plant reputation and the absence of a barcode on original stock.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 212 001 printed on the label and sleeve; A&M Records and Stern Musik appear as co-labels on German copies. The dead-wax runout strings 1 Ⓟ 1967 G 7 ◇ K 0 212001 A (side one) and 1 Ⓟ 1967 0 G 7 ◇ K 212001 B (side two) are the definitive matrix markers, stamped by Deutsche Grammophon GmbH.
The absence of a barcode confirms original 1967 stock; later reissues added EAN codes. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline marks and the label for foxing or water damage—German pressings of this vintage often show edge wear from storage in damp climates.
Play-test both sides to detect groove wear, which manifests as increased surface noise in the high frequencies rather than skips or pops.

Frequently asked
How do I distinguish this German pressing from the US original?
Check the catalogue number: this pressing reads 212 001, while the US original is SP-4124. The dead-wax runout will show 1 Ⓟ 1967 G 7 ◇ K 0 212001 A or 1 Ⓟ 1967 0 G 7 ◇ K 212001 B on German copies. Deutsche Grammophon GmbH is the pressing plant for this variant. The label lists both A&M Records and Stern Musik, a German distributor.
Why do 733 collectors own this but only 30 want it?
The high have-to-want ratio (733 to 30) reflects that this pressing circulates regularly in the used market, making it accessible to buyers without urgent competition. German pressings were pressed in larger quantities for the regional market, and many copies survived in collections. The 1967 date and Deutsche Grammophon manufacturing mean it is not rare, only regionally specific.
Is there a 1968 Italian version, and how does it differ?
Yes. The 1968 Italian pressing carries catalogue SP 4124 on A&M Records and was issued a year after this German variant. The German pressing (212 001, 1967) predates it and was manufactured by Deutsche Grammophon, while the Italian copy represents a later regional reissue. Catalogue and pressing plant are the primary distinguishing markers.
What does the 3.78 rating from 58 votes tell me about condition expectations?
A 3.78 rating on a five-point scale suggests the average copy in circulation is between Very Good and Very Good Plus, with some wear but playable without distortion. The 58 votes represent a solid sample size from the 733 owners, indicating consistent grading across multiple copies. Expect surface noise and minor label wear on typical examples.
Should I buy this pressing or hunt for the US original SP-4124?
This German pressing (212 001) is easier to find because 733 collectors own it. The US original SP-4124 will be scarcer and may command a premium. If you prioritize availability and regional pressing-plant interest, the German Deutsche Grammophon pressing is the practical choice. Both are 1967 first pressings; the difference is market and manufacturing origin.
