About this record
Stamped in the dead wax, the matrix YEX 969-1 ARH 6 HTM and YEX 970-1 GAH 2 HTM mark this as an EMI Records pressing from Hayes, Middlesex rather than a later reissue. The 1977 UK Parlophone EMTV 4 carries three catalogue numbers across its packaging—a labelling quirk that reflects its dual domestic and international distribution.
Demand sits modest: 421 collectors want it against 7758 who own one, yet 175 copies remain in circulation at prices ranging from 4.56 up to 27.31.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market on this 1977 UK pressing. A Mint copy commands 27.31 USD, while a VG+ drops to 18.69 and a VG settles at 12.94—a steep slide that reflects how wear on the matte gatefold sleeve and thick paper inner sleeve with rounded corners becomes visible fast.
The lowest asking price of 4.56 USD across 175 active listings signals soft demand relative to the 7758 collectors who already own a copy. The 1977 French Parlophone pressing (catalogue 2C 068 06377) exists as an alternative, but the UK EMTV 4 remains the standard first pressing for English-market collectors.
The 3.92 rating from 512 votes confirms steady but not passionate collector interest.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Parlophone label imprint EMTV 4 on both cover and label, paired with the international catalogue 0C 062-06 377 on the back sleeve and EMTV 4 (I) on the inner sleeve. The dead wax will show either YEX 969-1 ARH 6 HTM or YEX 970-1 GAH 2 HTM stamped (not etched) into the vinyl—these matrix strings are exclusive to the EMI Records Hayes pressing.
The matte gatefold and printed inner sleeve with rounded corners are original to 1977; any glossy gatefold or missing inner sleeve indicates a later reissue or damage. The barcode is absent on authentic copies.
Grade by the gatefold's matte finish (prone to seam splitting and edge wear), the inner sleeve's paper stock (yellowing and brittleness), and vinyl surface condition. The 13 tracks were mastered in Air London Studios in January 1977, with recording dates of August 30, 1965 and August 23, 1964.

Frequently asked
What is a VG+ copy of this pressing worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 18.69 USD. This grade assumes the gatefold shows light creasing or minor seam wear, the inner sleeve remains intact with minimal yellowing, and the vinyl plays through without skips, though surface noise may be audible on quieter passages.
How do I distinguish this 1977 UK pressing from the French version?
Check the catalogue number on the back sleeve. The UK Parlophone EMTV 4 carries 0C 062-06 377, while the French Parlophone pressing uses 2C 068 06377. The dead wax matrix will also differ: UK copies show YEX 969 or YEX 970, whereas French pressings carry different matrix codes. The UK pressing was printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. in Hayes, Middlesex.
Why does the lowest asking price (4.56 USD) differ so far from the Mint estimate (27.31 USD)?
The 4.56 USD listing likely represents a heavily played or damaged copy—possibly Fair or Poor grade with significant surface noise, skips, or sleeve damage. The price guide shows Poor copies at 1.44 USD and Fair at 2.88 USD, so 4.56 USD suggests a copy in Good or Good+ condition with visible wear but playable throughout. The 175 copies for sale span all grades, creating a wide spread.
What do the three catalogue numbers mean?
EMTV 4 is the domestic UK Parlophone catalogue number printed on the cover and label. 0C 062-06 377 is the EMI international catalogue number on the back sleeve. EMTV 4 (I) appears on the inner sleeve. This triple-numbering reflects 1977 distribution across both domestic and export markets under the same pressing.
Are the matrix etchings stamped or etched into the vinyl?
The release notes confirm that matrices are stamped except for the HTM etchings. YEX 969-1 ARH 6 HTM and YEX 970-1 GAH 2 HTM show stamped YEX numbers with HTM etched into the wax. This mixed technique is specific to this EMI pressing and helps verify authenticity.
