About this record
The runout matrix XSM-53554-1L and XSM-53555-1AA, stamped into the dead wax, identify this as a 1973 Columbia Limited Edition pressing from the Terre Haute plant rather than the original 1961 Blackhawk live session. Catalogue LE 10076 marks it as a reissue released by popular demand, with no credits printed on sleeve or label—a hallmark of early-1970s Columbia reissue economy runs.
Demand sits at 123 want against 1353 have, a ratio that reflects its status as a later, widely-distributed reissue rather than a scarce original pressing.
What drives its value
This 1973 reissue trades on condition spread and availability. A Mint copy reaches 38.18 USD, while a VG+ sits at 26.13 USD and a VG at 18.09 USD—the gap between grades is substantial because the Terre Haute pressing's vinyl composition and pressing weight vary across surviving copies.
The lowest asking price in the market is 8.17 USD, with 41 copies currently for sale, indicating steady supply. The community has logged 1353 owners against 123 want, a 11-to-1 ratio that reflects its reissue status.
Original 1961 Blackhawk pressings command far higher premiums; this 1973 Columbia Limited Edition sits in the mid-tier jazz reissue market, where condition and pressing-plant provenance drive incremental value rather than rarity alone.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the catalogue number LE 10076 on the spine and label. The dead-wax matrix runouts are stamped (not etched): Side A reads XSM-53554-1L 1 T A14, and Side B reads XSM-53555-1AA 1 T B 4.
The pressing plant credit appears as Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Terre Haute on the label. No barcode is present.
The 6-track album runs across two sides and is stereo. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: Mint (38.18 USD) shows no visible wear; NM (34.16 USD) exhibits only light handling marks; VG+ (26.13 USD) displays light surface noise and minor scratches; VG (18.09 USD) shows moderate groove wear and audible surface noise.
The Terre Haute pressing is prone to light warping and pressing inconsistencies—check flatness and listen for ticks during the quiet passages in the opening track.

Frequently asked
How do I confirm this is the 1973 Terre Haute reissue and not an original 1961 pressing?
Check the label for catalogue number LE 10076 and the pressing plant credit: Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Terre Haute. The original 1961 Blackhawk sessions were issued on different catalogue numbers and plants. The dead-wax matrix XSM-53554-1L and XSM-53555-1AA are stamped (not etched), another marker of the 1970s reissue. The absence of credits on the sleeve is typical of Columbia's economy reissue strategy in the early 1970s.
What is a VG+ copy worth, and how does it compare to other grades?
A VG+ copy is valued at 26.13 USD according to the price guide. A step up to NM reaches 34.16 USD, while a step down to VG drops to 18.09 USD. The spread reflects how sensitive buyers are to surface noise and groove wear on jazz reissues, where dynamic range and quiet passages expose vinyl defects. These are guide estimates; actual sales depend on local market and buyer preference.
Why is the lowest asking price 8.17 USD when the price guide shows VG at 18.09 USD?
The 8.17 USD figure represents the absolute floor asking price among the 41 copies currently listed for sale—likely a heavily played or damaged copy graded below VG, or a seller clearing inventory. The price guide figures (18.09 USD for VG and above) reflect typical market value for copies in those grades. Lowest asking price and guide value are not the same; the guide reflects consensus across recent sales, while asking price is a single listing.
Is this reissue worth collecting, or should I hunt for an original 1961 pressing?
This 1973 reissue is worth owning if you want the Blackhawk material at an entry price and accept the Terre Haute pressing's sonic character. The community rating is 4.22 out of 5 across 81 ratings, indicating solid approval. However, original 1961 pressings command significantly higher prices due to scarcity and sonic superiority. The 1353 owners and 123 want ratio shows this reissue is accessible; originals are far rarer and costlier.
What should I listen for to grade this record accurately?
Play the quieter passages in the opening track to detect surface noise and groove wear. The Terre Haute pressing is prone to light warping, so check flatness before playing. Mint (38.18 USD) will be silent; NM (34.16 USD) may show faint ticks; VG+ (26.13 USD) will have audible but not distracting noise; VG (18.09 USD) shows clear surface noise throughout. Examine the vinyl under bright light for hairline scratches and pressing defects typical of 1970s reissue runs.
