About this record

The 1963 UK mono pressing on Parlophone catalogue PMC 1206 commands a steep price curve: a Mint copy reaches 445.57 USD, while the same title in VG condition drops to 211.06 USD—a reflection of how few copies have survived in top grades. The dead-wax matrix codes XEX.447 and XEX.448 (with their 1N variants) identify this first pressing, distinguished by the black and yellow label bearing perimeter rim copyright text beginning 'THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD' and the line 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963' above the side number.

What drives its value

Condition dominates the market for this 1963 original. The price_guide shows Mint at 445.57 USD, NM at 398.67 USD, VG+ at 304.86 USD, and VG at 211.06 USD—a steep descent that reflects scarcity in higher grades after six decades.

The lowest asking price across 49 active listings is 10.05 USD, indicating heavily played or damaged copies circulate widely, but investment-grade examples remain scarce. Demand is substantial: 3358 collectors want this pressing against 7536 who own one, a ratio that sustains value.

The 1963 mono original (PMC 1206) commands premiums over later stereo reissues (PCS 3045, issued 1963 and reissued 2017–2018 across multiple territories) and the 1969 German Odeon pressing, making the first UK mono the reference standard.

How to appraise this pressing

Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number PMC 1206 on the spine and label. The matrix runout will show either XEX.447 or XEX.448 (or their 1N variants) stamped in the dead wax.

The label itself is black and yellow with 'THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD' text running around the perimeter and 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963' printed above the side indicator. Specific label variants distinguish this first pressing: the title 'Roll Over Beethoven' (B1) is indented so the 'R' sits over the 'I' in 'BIEM' below; B3 reads 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me' (not 'Got A'); and B7 'Money' credits 'Jobete Mus.

NCB' rather than later 'Dominion.Belinda' text. The MKT purchase tax code embossing appears on either side of the spindle hole.

The cover is front-laminated, tri-flipback, with a large 'MONO' indicator in the top right corner. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches, scuffs, and play wear; listen for surface noise and tracking distortion.

Frequently asked

What is this pressing worth in VG+ condition?

According to the price_guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 304.86 USD. This figure represents an estimate as of the guide's last update and reflects the mid-range of the market; actual sales vary by seller and buyer negotiation.

How do I tell the 1963 mono original from the stereo reissue?

The mono original carries catalogue PMC 1206 and matrix codes XEX.447 or XEX.448 (with 1N variants). The stereo version is catalogued PCS 3045 and uses different matrix codes. Check the spine and label for PMC (mono) versus PCS (stereo). The mono label also bears 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963' and the specific label variants noted in the release notes.

What is the price range from lowest to highest grade?

The price_guide spans from 23.45 USD (Poor condition) to 445.57 USD (Mint). A VG copy sits at 211.06 USD, roughly midway through the scale. The lowest asking price across active listings is 10.05 USD, indicating heavily damaged stock exists below guide estimates.

Are there other pressings I should know about?

Yes. The stereo version (PCS 3045) was issued in 1963 alongside the mono. Later reissues appeared in 2017 (Italy and UK & Ireland) and 2018 (Spain), all on Parlophone PCS 3045. A 1969 German Odeon pressing (1C 062-04 181) also exists. The 1963 UK mono original (PMC 1206) remains the first pressing and commands the highest collector premiums.

What label details confirm I have the first pressing?

Look for the black and yellow label with 'THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD' text around the perimeter and 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963' above the side number. B1 'Roll Over Beethoven' should have the 'R' indented over the 'I' in 'BIEM'. B3 reads 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me'. B7 'Money' credits 'Jobete Mus. NCB'. The MKT purchase tax code embossing appears on either side of the spindle hole. Later pressings omit or alter these details.
