About this record
The UK first pressing of Houses of the Holy carries a steep valuation curve: a Mint copy commands 856.85 USD, while the same album in VG condition drops to 405.87 USD—a market that rewards preservation above all else. Stamped in the dead wax as K 50014 A2 STERLING and pressed at CBS Aston Clinton, this 1973 Atlantic release (K 50014) is distinguished by its orange/white/green label stock without the Warner logo, matt gatefold sleeve, and the horizontal white obi that accompanied early copies.
What drives its value
Condition dominates the pricing structure on this pressing. A Mint copy fetches 856.85 USD, dropping through NM at 766.65 USD, VG+ at 586.26 USD, and VG at 405.87 USD—the steepest premium paid for original UK Atlantic pressings of this title.
The 1973 US pressing (Atlantic SD 7255) and later reissues from 1982 Spain, 2014 Europe, and 2014 USA & Canada occupy lower market tiers. Ninety-six copies are currently listed for sale, with the lowest priced at 6.17 USD, indicating a wide spectrum from damaged stock to investment-grade copies.
Community demand is substantial: 6531 collectors want it against 15598 who own one, reflecting the album's canonical status and the UK pressing's scarcity relative to US copies.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number K 50014 on the label and lyrics inner sleeve. The dead-wax matrix reads K 50014 A on side one and K 50014 B on side two, with RL etched (not stamped) and A2 STERLING stamped on the runout.
The pressing plant CBS Aston Clinton is the sole UK source for this variant. Examine the label: it must display orange, white, and green sections without a Warner (w) logo, and 'All Rights...' text confined to the orange section only.
The gatefold sleeve is matt finish with a thick paper top opening; the textured lyrics inner includes a thumb cut-out and prints 'Made in UK' and publishing credits. An early copy includes a horizontal white obi with black print.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches, the sleeve for foxing and corner wear, and the inner sleeve for creasing or loss of the thumb cut-out.

Frequently asked
What is the price difference between a Mint and VG+ copy?
A Mint copy is valued at 856.85 USD, while a VG+ copy is estimated at 586.26 USD according to the price guide. This reflects the market premium for near-flawless originals; even minor surface wear or light scuffing on the sleeve can move a copy down one grade and reduce its value significantly.
How do I distinguish this UK pressing from the US first pressing?
The UK pressing carries catalogue number K 50014 on Atlantic's orange/white/green label without a Warner logo. The US first pressing is catalogued SD 7255 on Atlantic. The UK pressing was pressed at CBS Aston Clinton and includes a matt gatefold with a textured lyrics inner and optional white obi; the US pressing has different label artwork and packaging.
Is the white obi a sign of a first pressing?
Yes, the horizontal white obi with artist, album title, and catalogue number in black print was included with early copies of the UK release. Its presence indicates an original pressing from 1973, though not all first pressings retained the obi—many were discarded or lost over decades.
What does the matrix K 50014 A2 STERLING tell me?
The A2 designation indicates a second stamping of side one, suggesting this copy was pressed after the initial run. STERLING refers to the quality standard of the pressing plant. The RL etched into the runout is a plant identifier. Together, these mark a legitimate UK Atlantic pressing from CBS Aston Clinton.
Why is a VG copy worth 405.87 USD when 96 copies are for sale at 6.17 USD?
The price guide reflects estimated market value for graded, collectible copies; the 6.17 USD lowest listing likely represents heavily damaged or ungraded stock. Ninety-six copies span the entire condition spectrum from Poor to Mint. A VG copy—playable with light surface noise but no skips or deep scratches—commands 405.87 USD as a solid investment-grade original UK pressing.
