About this record
Pressed at Deutsche Grammophon for the German market in 1969, this Polydor catalogue 249 316 copy bears the runout matrix 1 ℗ 1969 F9 ◇V 00 249316 S1 on side one, confirming its origin at that plant rather than a later reissue. The 12-track easy-listening arrangement sits in a narrow supply window: 11 copies currently for sale, yet 76 collectors own it against 17 who want one, suggesting steady but not frenzied demand.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire price ladder on this German pressing. A Mint copy commands 29.92 USD, while NM drops to 26.77 USD, VG+ to 20.47 USD, and VG to 14.17 USD—a steep slide that reflects the sensitivity of 1969 pressings to wear.
The current lowest asking price sits at 5 USD, well below the VG threshold of 14.17 USD, indicating either heavy play or damage. With 11 copies in circulation and a want-to-have ratio of 17 to 76, this title occupies the middle ground: neither rare nor common.
The Deutsche Grammophon pressing plant's quality control and the album's easy-listening genre (not a collector priority) keep values modest compared to contemporary rock or jazz releases.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the Polydor label and catalogue number 249 316 on the front cover and label. Examine both sides of the dead wax: side one should read 1 ℗ 1969 F9 ◇V 00 249316 S1, and side two ℗ 1969 F9 ◇V 00 249 316 S2.
These matrix strings confirm Deutsche Grammophon as the pressing plant. The absence of a barcode (this pressing predates UPC adoption) is normal for 1969 German vinyl.
Grade by inspecting the groove for hairline scratches under light; even light surface noise will drop a Mint copy to NM (26.77 USD) or lower. Play-test both sides to rule out skips or distortion that would justify the 5 USD floor price.
The 12 tracks and easy-listening style mean collectors prioritize sonic cleanliness over rarity.

Frequently asked
What is the pressing plant for catalogue 249 316?
Deutsche Grammophon. The runout matrix 1 ℗ 1969 F9 ◇V 00 249316 S1 on side one and ℗ 1969 F9 ◇V 00 249 316 S2 on side two both carry the F9 plant code, confirming this German pressing was manufactured there in 1969.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 20.47 USD. This represents the midpoint between NM at 26.77 USD and VG at 14.17 USD, reflecting typical wear on a 1969 pressing that has seen moderate play.
Why is there such a wide gap between Mint and VG prices?
A Mint copy at 29.92 USD versus VG at 14.17 USD reflects how sensitive 1969 vinyl is to surface noise and groove damage. Even minor scratches audible on playback drop the grade significantly. Easy-listening albums like this one are judged primarily on sonic condition rather than rarity, so collectors avoid worn copies.
Is this a reissue or an original 1969 pressing?
This is an original 1969 pressing for the German market. The ℗ 1969 copyright symbol and F9 Deutsche Grammophon plant code in the runout confirm first-issue status. No reissue information appears in the catalogue record.
How many copies are available right now?
11 copies are currently for sale, with the lowest asking price at 5 USD. This supply level is moderate; 76 collectors own the record and 17 want it, indicating steady but not urgent demand. The 5 USD floor price likely reflects a heavily played or damaged copy.
