About this record
The dead-wax matrix codes ST-C-681 329 and ST-C-681 330 stamped into this German Atlantic pressing (ATL 40 022) place it among at least 8 documented reissue variants, each with distinct label graphics and rights-society markings. The catalogue number ATL 40 022 and the WEA Musik GmbH distribution credit on both label and sleeve back confirm this is a later repress, not an original 1968 ATCO pressing.
With 97 copies currently for sale and a lowest asking price of 3.00 USD, supply far outpaces collector demand—only 182 want it against 2904 who already own a copy.
What drives its value
This German reissue trades on condition far more than rarity. A Mint copy commands 18.50 USD, but the market floor sits at 3.00 USD for the lowest-priced stock.
The VG+ grade—the sweet spot for played copies—holds 12.66 USD; drop to VG and the value falls to 8.76 USD. The original 1968 US ATCO pressing (SD 33-250) and its 1969 reissue are the true collector targets; this German Atlantic variant is a secondary pressing, pressed for the WEA Musik GmbH distribution network.
With 97 copies in active sale and a want-to-have ratio of 182 to 2904, this pressing is common. Grading accuracy matters: a VG+ copy is worth 12.66 USD, while a VG copy drops to 8.76 USD—a meaningful gap on a record this affordable.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number ATL 40 022 printed on the label and sleeve. The matrix runout codes—ST-C-681 329 on side A and ST-C-681 330 on side B, followed by WEA-40022-A-X PF and WEA-40022-B PF—are the definitive identifier.
The label reads 'Distributed by WEA Musik GmbH' and carries GEMA rights markings on the left side. The sleeve back bears a 'Z' designation and the copyright line '(P)(C)1973 Atlantic Recording Corp.' with 'Made in Germany' at the bottom.
The rim text on the label appears in two lines with 'Side 1' (not 'SIDE ONE'). Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: Mint means unplayed with no visible wear; NM allows only light handling marks; VG+ shows light surface noise but no audible distortion; VG exhibits moderate groove wear and surface noise during quiet passages.
The 6 tracks and the misspelling 'Terminaton' on the sleeve are consistent across all German GEMA variants.

Frequently asked
How do I know this is the German pressing and not a US original?
The catalogue number ATL 40 022 and the matrix codes ST-C-681 329/330 with WEA-40022 prefixes are exclusive to this German Atlantic variant. The original 1968 and 1969 US pressings carry the ATCO label and catalogue SD 33-250. The sleeve back also states 'Distributed by WEA Musik GmbH' and 'Made in Germany'—neither appears on US copies.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 12.66 USD. This represents a record with light surface noise but no audible distortion during playback. Note that this is an estimate; actual market prices vary with seller and buyer negotiation.
Why is there such a price drop between VG+ and VG?
A VG+ copy is worth 12.66 USD, while a VG copy is worth 8.76 USD. The difference reflects the audibility of groove wear and surface noise: VG+ remains listenable in quiet passages, whereas VG shows moderate wear that becomes noticeable. On an affordable reissue like this, condition directly determines resale value.
Is this pressing rare or common?
This is a common pressing. The community data shows 2904 collectors own it against only 182 who want it. Currently 97 copies are for sale, indicating steady supply. The original 1968 US ATCO pressing (SD 33-250) is the scarce variant; this German reissue is a secondary market item.
What does the rating 4.01 mean?
The community rating of 4.01 out of 5 is based on 222 user ratings and reflects overall satisfaction with this pressing's sound and condition as received. It does not indicate rarity or investment potential—only listener experience. Most copies are rated favorably despite being a reissue.
