About this record
The Pitman pressing plant stamped a faint 'P' into the dead wax of this 1967 compilation—a detail that separates it from other Columbia runs of the same catalogue number CS 9478. Red two-eye 360 Sound labels and a back-cover fabrication code '1' mark the variant that dominates the market.
Demand sits at 270 want against 10529 have, a ratio that reflects its status as a foundational Cash compilation rather than a scarce pressing.
What drives its value
Price spreads sharply by condition on this 1967 US pressing. A Mint copy commands 30.65 USD, while NM drops to 27.43 USD, VG+ to 20.97 USD, and VG to 14.52 USD—a steep cliff that rewards careful storage.
The market holds 91 copies for sale, with a floor price of 0.88 USD for heavily played stock. The Pitman plant pressing (marked by the 'P' stamp in runouts XSM 117713 and XSM 117714) is the standard US issue; original pressings on red 360 Sound labels retain collector interest despite the 10529 community have count.
Reissues and later Columbia pressings trade lower, making original-plant identification essential to value retention.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number CS 9478 on the spine and label. The runout matrix must read either XSM 117713 or XSM 117714 (one per side), preceded by the faint 'P o' stamp that denotes Pitman manufacture.
The labels must be red Columbia two-eye 360 Sound stock, not later black labels or reissues. The back cover should carry a fabrication code '1' printed at the bottom right corner.
The jacket spine reads 'Johnny Cash's Greatest Hits, Volume One' while the label itself omits 'Volume One.' All 11 tracks should be present. Grading hinges on vinyl surface condition and label gloss; even light hairline scratches drop a Mint copy into NM territory, and light play moves it to VG+.
The 360 Sound label printing should be sharp and centered; fading or off-register printing signals a later pressing or reissue.

Frequently asked
What is the Pitman pressing and why does it matter?
Columbia Records operated a pressing plant in Pitman, New Jersey. This facility stamped a faint 'P' into the dead wax of records it manufactured. The runouts on this 1967 Greatest Hits read 'P o XSM 117713-1L' and 'P o XSM 117714-1A'—the 'P' confirms Pitman origin. Other Columbia plants did not use this mark, so it is the fastest way to verify you own the original US pressing rather than a later reissue or foreign variant.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 20.97 USD. This represents a record with light surface noise, minor hairline scratches visible under light, and labels that show light wear but remain legible. This is an estimate as of the guide's most recent update and reflects typical asking prices across the collector market; actual sales may vary.
What is the back-cover fabrication code and where do I find it?
The back cover of this 1967 pressing carries a small printed code '1' at the bottom right corner. This code identifies the printing batch or variant. Copies without this code, or with a different number, are either later reprints or variants from different pressing runs. It is a quick visual check to confirm you have the original 1967 issue.
Why is there such a big price drop from Mint to VG?
A Mint copy is valued at 30.65 USD, while a VG copy is 14.52 USD. The gap reflects the rarity of unplayed stock from 1967. Most copies have been played; truly mint examples with no surface wear command a premium. Once a record enters regular play, even light use (VG+, 20.97 USD) or moderate play (VG, 14.52 USD) reduces value sharply because the vinyl itself is the product—scratches and noise are permanent.
How common is this pressing?
The community database shows 10529 collectors own a copy, making it one of the most widely held Cash compilations. However, 270 collectors are actively seeking one, and only 91 copies are currently for sale across major platforms. The low active inventory relative to the want count suggests that clean, graded copies in VG+ or better condition are harder to find than the raw ownership number implies.
