About this record
Columbia's Two-Eye Red label pressing of this 1965 folk-rock landmark carries the "360 Sound Stereo" designation and NONBREAKABLE imprint—hallmarks of the original run through early 1966. The dead-wax matrix codes XSM 112091 and XSM 112092 (with their 1D and 1C variants) confirm first-pressing status, distinguishing this from later reissues.
Demand remains substantial: 650 collectors want it against 3431 who own one, yet only 32 copies trade at any given moment.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this original pressing. A Mint copy commands 115.61 USD, while NM drops to 103.44 USD—a steep cliff that reflects how few survive unplayed.
The VG+ tier sits at 79.10 USD, and VG copies fetch 54.76 USD; by Good+ (30.42 USD) the record has begun to show its age across both surfaces and jacket. The 32 copies currently for sale span from 2.64 USD (heavily played stock) to the upper grades, confirming that original Two-Eye Red pressings remain actively collected.
The 650-to-3431 want-to-have ratio signals steady collector interest without scarcity panic, positioning this as a foundational rock album that trades regularly rather than a locked vault piece.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the pressing by checking the label: Columbia Two-Eye Red with "360 Sound Stereo" printed in white text and NONBREAKABLE stamped on both sides. The catalogue number CS 9254 appears on the spine and label.
Examine the dead wax on each side—Side 1 should read XSM 112091 or XSM 112091 1D, and Side 2 should show XSM 112092 or XSM 112092 1C. These matrix codes confirm an original pressing from the 1965–early 1966 window; later Columbia reissues carry different runout strings.
Grade by inspecting the label for foxing or discoloration (Two-Eye Red labels are prone to fading), the vinyl surface for hairline scratches under light, and the jacket for seam splits, water stains, or ring wear. The 11 tracks should play without skips or locked grooves.

Frequently asked
How do I tell an original Two-Eye Red pressing from a later reissue?
Original pressings through early 1966 carry the Two-Eye Red label with "360 Sound Stereo" in white text and NONBREAKABLE printed on the label. Check the dead wax: XSM 112091 or XSM 112091 1D on Side 1, and XSM 112092 or XSM 112092 1C on Side 2 confirm an original. Later Columbia reissues use different matrix codes and label designs. The catalogue number CS 9254 appears on all pressings, so the label color and runout string are your primary tools.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 79.10 USD. This grade assumes light surface noise, minimal visible wear on the label, and a jacket with only minor creasing. The jump from VG (54.76 USD) to VG+ reflects collector preference for cleaner examples of this 1965 original.
Why does condition matter so much for this record?
The Two-Eye Red label is chemically unstable and prone to fading, foxing, and discoloration over nearly 60 years. Vinyl from this pressing era also tends to accumulate surface noise and light scratches. A Mint copy (115.61 USD) versus a VG copy (54.76 USD) represents a record that has either been stored in ideal conditions or played regularly; the gap reflects how rare truly clean examples have become.
How many copies are on the market right now?
32 copies are currently for sale across the collector market. The lowest asking price is 2.64 USD (heavily played), while Mint and NM examples command 115.61 USD and 103.44 USD respectively. This modest supply relative to the 650 collectors who want one suggests steady availability without artificial scarcity.
Is this a first pressing or a reissue?
This is a first pressing, original to 1965 and pressed through early 1966 on Columbia's Two-Eye Red label. The matrix codes XSM 112091 / XSM 112092 and their 1D/1C variants confirm original Columbia manufacturing. Later reissues use different label designs and runout strings, making this pressing historically significant as the debut edition of a folk-rock classic.
