About this record
The matrix runout strings on this 1967 Volt pressing lack the alpha-ending found on later reissues, marking it as an original lacquer cut on an Audiodisc blank—a detail stamped directly in the dead wax as 'W ST-VO-67109' and 'W ST-VO-67110'. Demand sits at 118 want against 1830 have in the collector community, a ratio that reflects steady availability despite this being a compilation of Redding's early stereo work.
The price spread from Mint at 18.77 down to VG at 8.89 shows condition matters sharply on this title.
What drives its value
This stereo compilation on Volt VOLT S-418 commands 18.77 in Mint condition, dropping to 16.80 in Near Mint and 12.85 in VG+, with 50 copies currently listed for sale and a floor price of 1.19. The original pressing's value rests on the absence of alpha-suffixes in the matrix—catalogue VOLT 418, VOLT S 418, and VOLT S-418 all appear in the field, but only the runout grooves (ST-VO-671109 and ST-VO-671110) confirm the first pressing.
Reissues added alphabetic endings to distinguish later cuts. The 1830 collectors who own one against 118 seeking it suggest this is not rare, yet the 4.17 rating from 89 votes indicates strong regard for the content itself.
VG copies at 8.89 represent the practical entry point for budget buyers.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the Volt label and catalogue number VOLT S-418 (stereo variant). Inspect the runout grooves on both sides: side one should read 'W ST-VO-67109 - C LW AT' and side two 'W ST-VO-67110 - B LW AT'—the 'W' etch confirms Audiodisc lacquer, and the absence of a letter suffix (like 'A' or 'B') after '67109' and '67110' distinguishes the original from reissues.
The gatefold jacket is original to this release. Grade by surface noise and groove wear: Mint (18.77) means unplayed; NM (16.80) allows only light dust; VG+ (12.85) shows light surface marks but plays cleanly; VG (8.89) has audible surface noise but no skips.
The 12-track programme includes four tracks—These Arms Of Mine, Pain In My Heart, Mr. Pitiful, and Security—electronically reprocessed from mono to stereo, a fact noted in the release documentation but not audible without technical analysis.

Released in a gatefold jacket
This version can be identified by the runout grooves and by the text on the labels and, more specifically, the matrix numbers, which lack an alpha-ending.
"W" etch in runout indicates original lacquer was cut using an Audiodisc blank.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this 1967 original from a reissue?
Check the runout grooves under strong light. Original pressings show matrix numbers 'ST-VO-67109' and 'ST-VO-67110' with no letter suffix after the year digits. Reissues added alpha-endings (A, B, etc.) to distinguish later cuts. The 'W' etch at the start confirms Audiodisc lacquer, standard for Volt originals of this era.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
The price guide lists VG+ at 12.85 USD as of the guide date. This grade allows light surface marks and minor play wear but no skips or significant noise. A Mint copy commands 18.77, so the jump from VG+ to Mint represents a meaningful condition premium on this title.
Why are four tracks listed as 'reprocessed for stereo'?
These Arms Of Mine, Pain In My Heart, Mr. Pitiful, and Security were originally recorded in mono. Volt electronically converted them to stereo for this compilation, a common practice in 1967. The other 8 tracks were recorded in stereo from the start.
How many copies are typically available?
Currently 50 copies are listed for sale across the market, with a floor price of 1.19 USD. The community database shows 1830 collectors own one, indicating steady supply and modest collector demand at 118 want.
What does the rating of 4.17 mean?
The 4.17 score is based on 89 community votes and reflects strong approval of the album's content and pressing quality. This mid-range rating suggests most owners are satisfied, though some may note the mono-to-stereo reprocessing on four tracks as a limitation.
