About this record
Stamped in the dead wax, the runout YEX 905–YEX 908 marks this 1973 UK pressing as a Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. production rather than the concurrent German (1 C 188-05 307/08) or US (SKBO 3403) editions. The catalogue number PCSP 717 and the red lyric inner sleeves with black text are definitive markers of this specific Apple Records release.
Among 22161 collectors who own it, demand remains steady: 2101 want a copy, and 230 are currently listed for sale.
What drives its value
The price spread on this UK pressing reflects condition sensitivity across a wide range. A Mint copy commands 68.55 USD, while a Near Mint drops to 61.33 USD; the VG+ tier sits at 46.90 USD, and a VG copy trades at 32.47 USD.
Below that, G+ copies fetch 18.04 USD, G copies 10.82 USD, and Fair copies 7.22 USD. The lowest asking price observed is 2.33 USD, though 230 active listings suggest moderate supply.
The 1973 UK pressing holds its value better than the 1976 Capitol reissue or the 1978 French edition, because it was the first major compilation release and carries the original Garrod & Lofthouse manufacturing mark. The 26-track compilation spanning 1962–1966 material (tracked by copyright dates on the label) anchors collector interest.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number PCSP 717 on the front cover and spine. The label must read Mfd. in U.K., An Apple Record, and An E.M.I.
Recording. Inspect the dead wax on both sides: Side A should show YEX 905 or YEX 906 stamped (not etched), and Side B should show YEX 907 or YEX 908, all stamped with HTM credit etched.
The gatefold cover is glossy and laminated; the inner sleeves are red with black text. Verify the copyright notices on the label: Track A1 carries 1962 Gramophone Company Limited; A2–A6 carry 1963; A7 and B1–B4 carry 1964; B5–D4 carry 1965; and D5–D6 carry 1966.
The sleeve must be printed and made by Garrod and Lofthouse Ltd., as stated in small print. Absence of a barcode is correct for this 1973 UK edition.

Frequently asked
What is this pressing worth in VG+ condition?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 46.90 USD. This estimate reflects the mid-range of the market as of the guide's survey date and assumes the record plays without skips and shows only light surface marks under normal light.
How does the UK 1973 pressing compare to the US and German editions?
All three were pressed in 1973 simultaneously. The UK edition (PCSP 717, Garrod & Lofthouse) is the original for the British market; the US pressing carries catalogue SKBO 3403; the German pressing is 1 C 188-05 307/08. UK pressings typically command higher prices because they were the first release and carry the Garrod & Lofthouse plant mark, which collectors recognize as a hallmark of early Apple Records quality.
What is the lowest price I might find this record listed at?
The lowest asking price recorded is 2.33 USD, though this likely reflects a heavily played or damaged copy. With 230 copies currently for sale, buyers have options across the condition spectrum, from Poor (3.61 USD) up to Mint (68.55 USD).
How many tracks are on this compilation?
The album contains 26 tracks spanning material from 1962 through 1966. The label copyright dates confirm this range: the earliest track (A1) is marked 1962, and the latest (D5–D6) are marked 1966.
Is there a barcode on this pressing?
No. This 1973 UK pressing has no barcode, which is correct for the era. Barcodes did not appear on UK Apple Records until later reissues, such as the 1976 Capitol reissue or the 1978 French edition.
