About this record
This 2014 European reissue carries matrix codes stamped BE43541-01 across all sides, pressed at Optimal Media GmbH and distributed by Universal Music Group International under Blue Note catalogue BLP 1577. The release notes document three distinct hype-sticker variants—blue "75 blue note / Back To Blue," black "Back To Black," and blue/white "Back To Jazz"—each bundling an MP3 download voucher, a detail absent from the original 1957 pressing.
Demand sits at 1638 want against 10493 have in the collector community, placing this reissue in steady but not scarce territory.
What drives its value
A Mint copy of this remaster commands 53.34 USD, while a Near Mint drops to 47.73 USD—a modest 5.61 USD spread reflecting the modern pressing's consistency. The VG+ grade sits at 36.50 USD and VG at 25.27 USD, showing steeper value loss as play wear accumulates on the 24-bit/96kHz remaster source.
The lowest asking price across 98 active listings is 19.35 USD, indicating that worn copies trade well below the VG threshold. This 2014 reissue differs from the 2016 UK pressing (catalogue BST-81577), and its European origin and Universal distribution chain position it as the primary modern entry point for collectors seeking the Coltrane hard-bop classic on vinyl without hunting original pressings.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the barcode 0602537714100 and catalogue number BLP 1577 on the spine and label. The dead-wax matrix BE43541-01 appears stamped (not etched) on all four sides; the runout strings include the Optimal pressing plant identifier HL 3771410.
Side A carries either the A1 or A3 matrix variant; Side B shows either B1 or B3. The label reads "Blue Note Records" with Universal Music Group International copyright.
The gatefold includes printed inner sleeves branded "75 Years Blue Note" reissue series. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: Mint (M) shows no visible wear; Near Mint (NM) permits only light dust; VG+ allows light surface marks audible only between tracks; VG shows noticeable groove wear.
The remaster's 24-bit/96kHz source yields a quieter noise floor than original pressings, making VG+ and VG copies sound cleaner than equivalent grades of 1957 originals.

Frequently asked
What is this pressing worth in VG+ condition?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 36.50 USD according to the price guide. This reflects light surface marks and minor play wear that do not significantly affect playback. The estimate assumes the hype sticker (if present) remains intact and the inner sleeves are complete.
How does the 2014 European pressing differ from the 2016 UK version?
The 2014 pressing (BLP 1577, Universal distribution) carries matrix BE43541-01 stamped at Optimal Media GmbH. The 2016 UK pressing uses catalogue BST-81577 and a different manufacturing chain. Both are reissues, but the 2014 includes the "75 Years Blue Note" inner sleeves and hype-sticker variants tied to the anniversary campaign.
What does the matrix code tell me about authenticity?
The stamped runout BE43541-01 followed by HL 3771410 confirms Optimal Media GmbH as the pressing plant. The release notes specify that matrix codes are stamped for the first part (BE to A1/B3), while the rest is etched. Verify all four sides carry this prefix; variants with different plant codes indicate different pressings or counterfeits.
Why is the lowest price 19.35 USD when VG copies are listed at 25.27 USD?
The 19.35 USD figure represents the absolute floor across 98 active listings and likely reflects copies graded below VG—possibly G+ (14.04 USD) or G (8.42 USD) with cosmetic or audible damage. Price guides estimate fair-market value by grade; individual sellers may price aggressively to move stock quickly.
Do all copies come with a hype sticker?
No. The release notes document three hype-sticker variants (blue "75 blue note / Back To Blue," black "Back To Black," and blue/white "Back To Jazz"), but not all copies received one. Stickered copies may command a small premium among collectors seeking the complete anniversary packaging, though the price guide does not differentiate by sticker presence.
