About this record
The 1969 UK Harvest pressing of Ummagumma carries matrix codes SHDW.1A through SHDW.2B stamped in the dead wax—a signature of the original release before later reissues. This double album arrived without the boxed EMI logo on its yellow/green Harvest label, a detail that distinguishes it from subsequent printings.
The two-LP set documents both a live recording from Mothers Birmingham and Manchester College of Commerce in June 1969 and a studio session, with 6 tracks split across the pair.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this pressing. A Mint copy commands 308.47 USD, while NM drops to 276.00 USD—a gap that reflects how few copies have survived unplayed.
VG+ copies sit at 211.06 USD, VG at 146.12 USD, and the slide accelerates through lower grades: G+ at 81.18 USD, G at 48.71 USD, F at 32.47 USD, and P at 16.24 USD. With 113 copies currently for sale and a lowest asking price of 1.64 USD (likely damaged stock), the original 1969 UK Harvest pressing remains far more sought than the 2016 Pink Floyd Records reissue.
Community demand is substantial: 3343 collectors want it against 13448 who own one, suggesting this is a canonical title rather than a rarity.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number SHDW 1/2 on the spine and labels, paired with the Harvest imprint on a yellow/green label without a boxed EMI logo. The dead-wax runout codes SHDW.1A (Side A of LP 1), SHDW.1B (Side B of LP 1), SHDW.2A (Side A of LP 2), and SHDW.2B (Side B of LP 2) are pressed into the vinyl itself and visible under light.
The outer gatefold sleeve is laminated and includes the credit line 'Made and printed in Great Britain' on the inside, with 'Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. London' printed on the rear.
The label text reads 'The Gramophone Co Ltd.' at the top edge and 'Made in Gt. Britain' at the bottom.
Note the deliberate misspelling 'The Gand Vizier's Garden Party' on the D-side label—a known quirk of this pressing. Grading should account for the laminated gatefold's susceptibility to seam splitting and the vinyl's exposure to dust in the protective inner sleeves.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number for the original 1969 UK pressing?
The catalogue number is SHDW 1/2, printed on the spine and labels. Secondary catalogue numbers 1E 054 ○ 04222 and 1E 054 ○ 04223 also appear on the labels and correspond to the two LPs in the set.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 211.06 USD. This represents a significant premium over VG condition at 146.12 USD, reflecting how surface noise and light wear begin to affect playback quality at that threshold.
What pressing plants were involved in manufacturing this release?
Three plants are credited: The Gramophone Co. Ltd., Trade Platemaking Services, and Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. The latter is explicitly named on the rear cover as the printer of the gatefold sleeve.
How do I distinguish this 1969 pressing from later reissues?
The 1969 UK Harvest pressing lacks a boxed EMI logo on the label—a feature added to later printings. The laminated gatefold sleeve and the specific matrix codes SHDW.1A through SHDW.2B in the runout are also unique to this original. The 2016 Pink Floyd Records reissue (catalogue PFRLP4) is a wholly different product with different mastering and packaging.
What is the price spread between Mint and VG condition?
A Mint copy is priced at 308.47 USD while VG is 146.12 USD. This wide separation underscores how critical preservation is for this title—even light play and handling reduce value substantially.
