About this record
This 2022 Acoustic Sounds Series reissue was mastered from the original analog tapes and pressed at Quality Record Pressings on 180 gram vinyl, stamped in the dead wax with the matrix B0033800-01 and marked STERLING to denote the mastering source. The release notes specify that this pressing features the overdubbed master—Coltrane returned to the studio after the March 1963 session to add more saxophone fills on three songs, a distinction that separates this from the original 1963 Impulse! issue.
Demand remains strong: 949 collectors want this pressing against 5335 who own one, with 48 copies currently for sale at a floor price of 26.08 USD.
What drives its value
The price spread on this 2022 reissue reflects condition sensitivity typical of audiophile pressings. A Mint copy commands 71.00 USD, while a VG+ example trades at 48.58 USD and a VG copy at 33.63 USD—a meaningful drop that rewards careful storage and handling.
The lowest asking price of 26.08 USD across 48 active listings suggests a soft market for played copies, yet the want-to-have ratio of 949 to 5335 indicates sustained collector interest. As a reissue on the Acoustic Sounds label (mastered and pressed to archival standards), this 2022 edition occupies a different tier than original 1963 Impulse! pressings; its value derives from sonic fidelity and accessibility rather than scarcity.
The 180 gram vinyl and tip-on gatefold packaging justify the entry price for buyers seeking the overdubbed master in high-grade form.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number B0033800-01 printed on the label and back cover, and verify the matrix runout: Side A should read B0033800-01 A (or B0033800-01 A RKS STERLING), and Side B should read B0033800-01 B (or B0033800-01 B RKS STERLING). The STERLING stamp indicates mastering by a top engineer from the original analog tapes.
The pressing plant is Quality Record Pressings, identifiable from the hype sticker and insert. The jacket is a tip-on gatefold printed on high-grade board by Stoughton Printing Co., and includes an 11 by 11 inch printed insert for the Acoustic Sounds Series.
Two stickers adorn the outer plastic: a circular 60 impulse! badge and a rectangular Acoustic Sound Series label. The vinyl is housed in a plain rice paper inner sleeve.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for dust, micro-scratches, and groove wear; the 180 gram weight and Quality Record Pressings manufacture typically yield quiet, flat pressings when unplayed or lightly played.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between this 2022 reissue and the original 1963 Impulse! pressing?
This 2022 Acoustic Sounds Series edition is mastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180 gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings. More importantly, the release notes confirm this pressing features the overdubbed master—after the March 1963 session, Coltrane returned to the studio to add more saxophone fills on three songs. The original 1963 Impulse! pressing (catalogue A-40 or AS-40) does not include these overdubs. The 2022 reissue also includes a tip-on gatefold jacket, printed insert, and hype stickers identifying it as part of the Acoustic Sounds Series.
What should I expect to pay for a VG+ copy?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 48.58 USD. This estimate reflects the condition tier between Mint (71.00 USD) and VG (33.63 USD). The lowest asking price across active listings is 26.08 USD, which typically represents played or lower-graded stock. A VG+ example—showing minimal surface marks and full dynamic range—should trade near the guide figure.
How do I verify the pressing plant and mastering source?
The matrix runout on both sides includes the code B0033800-01 followed by either A or B for the side. On some pressings, the runout is further stamped with RKS STERLING, where STERLING identifies the mastering engineer. The Acoustic Sounds Series hype sticker and insert both confirm manufacture at Quality Record Pressings in Kansas on 180 gram vinyl. The label itself states 'A Verve Records release; Originally released in 1963 on Impulse! Records' and carries the 2022 UMG copyright.
Is there a significant price difference between Mint and VG condition?
Yes. A Mint copy is priced at 71.00 USD, while a VG example is valued at 33.63 USD—a substantial gap that reflects the audiophile pressing's sensitivity to playback wear and storage conditions. The NM tier sits at 63.53 USD, and VG+ at 48.58 USD. For a record pressed on 180 gram vinyl at a quality facility, even light play can shift the grade and reduce value noticeably.
What do the stickers and insert tell me about this release?
The two stickers on the outer plastic—a circular 60 impulse! badge and a rectangular Acoustic Sound Series label—identify this as part of the Acoustic Sounds Series reissue program. The 11 by 11 inch printed insert explains that all titles are mastered from original analog tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at Quality Record Pressings in Kansas, and packaged in tip-on gatefold jackets manufactured at Stoughton Printing Co. These details confirm the audiophile credentials and production standards of the 2022 edition.
