About this record
Stamped in the dead wax, the runout 01-450259-1 and CBS 450259 1A marks this as a CBS Haarlem pressing made in Holland. Demand is heavy: 5188 collectors have it and 139 want it, so the record trades on a steady base rather than a thin niche.
The spread between grades is the first thing a buyer should understand, because condition moves the price more than any other variable on this copy.
What drives its value
The price guide sets the spread on this pressing from 6.14 USD in M down to 2.91 USD in VG, with NM at 5.49 USD and VG+ at 4.20 USD. These are estimates from the guide, not guaranteed sale prices.
Supply is wide: 254 copies are listed for sale, and the lowest asking price is 0.90 USD, which shows how far a worn copy can fall below the grade figures. Two catalogue entries, CBS 450259 1 and 450259 1, plus the A and B matrix sides, mean collectors compare the variants closely.
Because this is the European CBS issue rather than a later reissue, its position among other pressings is what keeps the grade-to-price gap meaningful for buyers and sellers.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by reading the dead wax. The matrix should show 01-450259-1 or 01-450259-2 on one side, with CBS 450259 1A or CBS 450259 1B on the other, and the pressing plant credited as CBS, Haarlem.
The label reads CBS with Reformation as the second imprint, and the catalogue number CBS 450259 1 should appear on the spine and jacket. Check for the barcode, which this copy carries.
Some copies have a yellow circled sticker reading Includes Fight For Ourselves Through The Barricades 450259 1; its presence or absence is a visible identifier. Grade the disc and sleeve separately against the M, NM, VG+ and VG price points, since the spread between them is wide on this release.
