About this record
The runout matrix K-LP-Ste-SP-4119I-X 212012 A 1 II Hu III and its B-side counterpart identify this as a Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft pressing for the German market in 1967, a reissue that arrived two years after the original US LP110 debut. The dead-wax stamps reveal Hamburg manufacturing rather than the Oldenburg printing variant (catalogue 6929260), a distinction that matters because pressings from different German plants command different collector attention.
What drives its value
This German reissue trades on its scarcity relative to US originals and its pressing-plant pedigree. The price guide spans from 28.07 USD in Mint down to 1.48 USD in Poor condition, with a VG+ copy estimated at 19.21 USD and VG at 13.30 USD.
Currently 42 copies are listed for sale, the lowest at 2.24 USD, suggesting a soft market for worn stock. Community ownership stands at 1418 against 246 want-list entries, a ratio indicating this pressing is available but not aggressively sought.
The 1967 German pressing sits below the original 1965 US LP110 in collector hierarchy, making it a secondary option for those who prioritize the first pressing or who seek the title at budget prices rather than investment value.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 212 012 (also printed as 212012) on the front cover and spine label. The runout etchings on the vinyl—specifically K-LP-Ste-SP-4119I-X 212012 A 1 II Hu III on side A and K-LP-Ste-SP-4120II-X 212012 B 6 2 S Hu III on side B—are the definitive markers of Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft manufacture.
The back cover must credit both Gerhard Stalling AG, Oldenburg for printing and Deutsche Grammophon, Hamburg for manufacturing; if it credits only Gerhard Kaiser GmbH, you hold the variant catalogue 6929260 instead. The label should read A&M Records with the German pressing designation.
Grade by vinyl surface cleanliness and jacket condition separately; German pressings of this era often show light surface wear from storage in humid climates, and jacket corners frequently show edge wear from warehouse handling.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this 1967 German pressing from the original 1965 US version?
The catalogue number is the quickest check: this German reissue is numbered 212 012, while the original US LP110 carries a completely different designation. The runout matrix on this pressing begins with K-LP-Ste-SP-4119I-X, encoding Deutsche Grammophon's pressing plant code. The back cover explicitly states manufacturing by Deutsche Grammophon, Hamburg and printing by Gerhard Stalling AG, Oldenburg—text that does not appear on US pressings. The label itself reads A&M Records but with German market attribution.
What is a VG+ copy of this pressing worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ specimen is valued at 19.21 USD. This estimate assumes a record with minimal surface noise, no visible groove wear, and a jacket with light handling marks but no seam splits or major creasing. The VG grade below it is priced at 13.30 USD, so condition differences of one full grade represent meaningful value separation on this title.
Why are 42 copies currently for sale if only 246 collectors want it?
The want-to-have ratio (246 want against 1418 who own one) reflects modest collector demand relative to supply. The 42 active listings suggest the market is not tight; sellers are competing on price rather than scarcity. The lowest asking price of 2.24 USD indicates some inventory is priced to move quickly, likely worn or played copies that dealers are clearing rather than holding for appreciation.
What is a Mint copy worth, and how rare is that condition?
A Mint-graded example is estimated at 28.07 USD by the price guide. Mint condition on a 1967 German pressing is uncommon because these records were manufactured for the working market, not as collectibles; most surviving copies show at least light play or storage marks. Finding one still sealed or unplayed is unlikely, which is why Mint specimens command a premium over the 2.24 USD floor price despite modest overall demand.
Is this German pressing a good investment compared to the original US LP110?
No. The original 1965 US LP110 holds stronger collector priority and typically commands higher prices. This 1967 German reissue is a secondary pressing, useful for filling a collection gap at lower cost but unlikely to appreciate. With 1418 copies in community hands and only 246 want-list entries, demand is stable but not growing, and the 2.24 USD floor price shows the market will accept heavily discounted stock without hesitation.
