About this record
Fontana International's Scandinavian pressing of King Of The Road carries catalogue 858 022 FPY and arrives as a 12-track compilation rather than a studio album proper. The want-to-have ratio here is telling: 13 collectors actively seek it against 106 who own one, a signal that this regional variant sits outside the mainstream reissue cycle.
With 6 copies currently listed and a floor price of 5 USD, supply is thin relative to the broader catalogue.
What drives its value
This 1968 Scandinavian compilation trades on condition more than rarity. Price guide spreads from 8.52 USD (Mint) down to 0.45 USD (Poor), with a VG+ estimate of 5.83 USD—the figure most active buyers encounter.
The lowest asking price of 5 USD aligns closely with VG+ territory, suggesting the market has settled on a narrow band. Fontana International's regional pressing strategy means this version competes directly with other territorial issues rather than commanding a premium; the 106 collectors who own one indicate modest but stable demand.
The 13 want-list entries reflect genuine interest, though not the urgency seen for original US or UK issues. Grading accuracy determines realized value more than any other factor on a record this modestly priced.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the Fontana International label and catalogue number 858 022 FPY on the spine and label. The absence of a barcode is consistent with 1968 Scandinavian pressings.
Verify the 12-track sequence and note the compilation status on the back cover or inner sleeve. Examine the dead wax for plant codes or matrix stamps; Fontana's Scandinavian plants often left identifying marks in the runout groove.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under bright light for hairline marks and the label for foxing or water damage—common wear points on records of this age and regional origin. Play-test at low volume to confirm groove integrity, as Scandinavian pressings from this era sometimes show brittleness.
The absence of a barcode means dating relies on label design and pressing plant evidence rather than UPC verification.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of this pressing worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy carries an estimated value of 5.83 USD. This estimate reflects typical market activity and may vary based on actual sales; the current lowest asking price of 5 USD suggests some sellers are pricing slightly below guide.
How rare is the Fontana International Scandinavian pressing?
With 106 collectors reporting ownership and 13 on the want list, this pressing is neither scarce nor common. The 6 copies currently for sale indicate steady but not urgent availability. Regional Fontana pressings from 1968 were produced in moderate quantities for Scandinavian distribution, making them less sought than original US or UK releases.
What is the price range from Mint to VG condition?
A Mint copy is estimated at 8.52 USD, while a VG copy sits at 4.04 USD. The spread reflects the sensitivity of this modestly priced record to surface condition and label wear.
How do I verify this is the correct Fontana pressing and not a reissue?
Check the label for Fontana International and the catalogue number 858 022 FPY. Examine the dead wax for Scandinavian pressing plant codes. The 1968 label design and absence of a barcode are consistent with original Scandinavian pressings; later reissues typically carry UPC codes or updated label graphics.
Is this a worthwhile purchase at the current asking prices?
At 5 USD (the lowest current asking price), you are buying near the VG+ guide estimate of 5.83 USD. The community rating of 3.44 across 9 reviews suggests moderate appeal rather than universal collector enthusiasm. Purchase depends on whether you seek this specific regional variant or are building a Roger Miller compilation collection.
