About this record
This 1968 Columbia Masterworks pressing carries the grey 'two-eye' label design and stamped runouts that distinguish it from later reissues, with copies pressed at Columbia's Terre Haute facility bearing matrix codes XXSM119302-3B and XXSM119303-1B. The market holds 243 collectors against only 18 seeking it, a ratio that reflects its steady availability despite the classical repertoire's narrower appeal.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire valuation on this US pressing. A Mint copy commands 24.55 USD, while the same record in NM drops to 21.97 USD—a modest shift typical of sealed classical stock.
The real cliff appears below: VG+ sits at 16.8 USD, VG at 11.63 USD, and played copies fall to 6.46 USD or lower. With 17 copies currently for sale and a lowest asking price of 2.67 USD, the market is flooded at the bottom end, suggesting dealers are clearing inventory rather than collectors hunting scarce pressings.
The original 1968 Terre Haute pressing retains modest value because the grey two-eye label and stamped matrix codes are consistent identifiers—reissues on the same label muddy the secondary market. Demand (18 want) is soft relative to supply (243 have), confirming this is a catalog title rather than a chase record.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the grey 'two-eye' Columbia Masterworks label with white text and catalogue number MS 7058. The stamped runouts—XSM 119302 on side A and XSM 119303 on side B, with the B-side matrix reading XXSM119303-1B T o—are definitive markers of the original 1968 Terre Haute pressing.
Later Columbia reissues used different label designs or printed (not stamped) runouts. Grade by the vinyl surface under bright light: Mint means unplayed with pristine label and jacket; NM allows only the faintest signs of handling; VG+ shows light wear and minor surface marks audible only on quiet passages; VG exhibits visible groove wear and consistent light surface noise.
The gatefold or single-pocket jacket should be checked for seam splits, ring wear, and spine fade—common on classical LPs stored upright. Play-test both sides to confirm no skips or locked grooves.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this 1968 pressing from later Columbia Masterworks reissues of the same album?
The grey two-eye label with white text is the hallmark of the original 1968 release. Examine the runout area under a light: if the matrix code is stamped (raised, not printed), you have the Terre Haute pressing. Reissues typically used different label artwork or printed (flat) runouts. The catalogue number MS 7058 appears on all pressings, so the label design and runout method are your confirmation.
What is a VG+ copy worth, and how does that compare to a played record?
A VG+ copy is estimated at 16.8 USD according to the price guide. A VG copy drops to 11.63 USD, and a G+ (played but still listenable) falls to 6.46 USD. The jump from VG+ to VG represents a real market distinction—VG+ records show only light wear, while VG records have audible surface noise on quiet passages. These are guide estimates; actual sales vary based on jacket condition and demand at the moment of listing.
Why are so many copies for sale at 2.67 USD when the price guide says VG copies are worth 11.63 USD?
The lowest asking price of 2.67 USD reflects bulk or distressed inventory—dealers clearing stock quickly rather than holding for top dollar. These copies are likely in Fair or Poor condition (2.58 USD and 1.29 USD respectively in the guide), or sellers are simply underpricing to move volume. The 17 copies currently listed show that supply exceeds active demand; patient buyers can wait for deals, while sellers chasing quick sales must accept below-guide offers.
Is this recording available on other labels or formats that might affect resale value?
The input confirms only this Columbia Masterworks pressing and format. Without data on other editions, reissues, or digital releases, I cannot advise on competitive formats. If you are considering purchase, check Discogs and eBay for other pressings of the same Bernstein/Copland/Biggs program to gauge whether the 1968 Columbia original commands a premium or sits at parity with later issues.
What jacket condition should I expect, and does it affect value as much as the vinyl?
Classical LPs from 1968 often show seam splits, ring wear on the spine, and foxing on gatefold interiors—storage damage rather than play wear. The price guide reflects vinyl condition only; a Mint record in a Poor jacket will not fetch Mint money. For this title, with 243 collectors owning it and only 18 seeking it, jacket condition matters less than on rare pressings. Focus on vinyl grade as your primary valuation driver, but expect to negotiate down if the cover is heavily worn or split.
