About this record
World Pacific Jazz catalogue ST-20166 arrived in 1969 as a gatefold pressing that spliced orchestral overdubs onto material from earlier Pacific Jazz sessions, creating a hybrid that collectors either prize or avoid. The runout matrix ST•20166•1 and ST•20166•2 confirm the original US pressing.
Demand sits at 90 want against 250 in the community have, signalling steady but not frenzied collector interest. A Mint copy commands 27.31 USD, while the lowest asking price across 26 active listings is 3.56 USD—a spread that reflects condition sensitivity on a mid-tier soul-jazz repackaging.
What drives its value
Price on this 1969 World Pacific Jazz pressing hinges entirely on condition. Mint reaches 27.31 USD; NM drops to 24.44 USD; VG+ settles at 18.69 USD; VG falls to 12.94 USD.
The 26 copies currently for sale anchor at a floor of 3.56 USD, indicating distressed stock or heavily played inventory in the market. The 90 collectors seeking it against 250 who own one suggest moderate scarcity rather than rarity—enough demand to sustain pricing at upper grades, but not enough to drive VG+ or VG copies above mid-range.
As a reissue that recombined tracks from sessions coded 470850, 916443, 351252, 916482, and 450957, it ranks below original Pacific Jazz pressings in collector hierarchy, which caps appreciation potential. The gatefold packaging adds tactile value but does not override the core fact: this is a 1969 US repackaging, not a first pressing of new material.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the catalogue number ST-20166 on the spine and label. The stereo gatefold cover should credit World Pacific Jazz and carry the 1969 date.
Examine the dead-wax runout on side 1 for ST•20166•1 and side 2 for ST•20166•2; these matrix strings confirm the original US pressing plant assignment. The 8-track programme lists Les McCann singing on tracks A2, B1, and B3, and playing across A1, A3, A4, B2, and B4.
No barcode appears on original 1969 copies. Grade by vinyl surface: Mint means unplayed; NM allows only hairline marks under raking light; VG+ shows light surface noise in quiet passages but no audible skip; VG permits moderate groove wear and background hiss.
The gatefold hinge and cover stock degrade faster than the vinyl itself on this pressing, so inspect the fold seam and spine for splits or creasing when assessing overall condition.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number and how do I confirm I have the 1969 original?
The catalogue number is ST-20166. Check the label and spine for this code. On the vinyl itself, examine the dead-wax runout: side 1 should read ST•20166•1 and side 2 ST•20166•2. These matrix strings are specific to the 1969 World Pacific Jazz US pressing and distinguish it from any later reissue or alternate pressing plant variant.
What is a VG+ copy worth, and how does that compare to lower grades?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 18.69 USD. A VG copy drops to 12.94 USD, and a G+ copy falls to 7.19 USD. The jump from VG+ to Mint (27.31 USD) is significant, so condition grading is critical when buying or selling at the higher end of the range.
Why does this pressing combine material from multiple earlier sessions?
The release notes indicate that World Pacific Jazz added new orchestral backgrounds to tracks sourced from five prior Pacific Jazz albums. Track A1 derives from session 470850; A2, B1, and B3 from session 916443; A3 from session 351252; A4 and B4 from session 916482; and B2 from session 450957. This repackaging strategy was common in the late 1960s to extend catalogue value without recording new material.
How many copies are currently for sale, and what is the lowest asking price?
26 copies are listed for sale across the market. The lowest asking price is 3.56 USD, which likely represents heavily played or damaged stock. This floor price is far below the VG estimate of 12.94 USD, so buyers should inspect condition carefully before assuming any copy at that price is playable.
What does the community rating tell me about this album?
The community rating is 4.57 out of 5, based on 14 ratings. This above-average score reflects appreciation for the hard bop and soul-jazz content, though the 90 want against 250 have suggests it is neither a must-own classic nor a deep obscurity. It occupies a solid middle ground in collector esteem.
