About this record
The dead-wax matrix codes on this 1966 Columbia stereo pressing—XSM 111268, XSM 111269, XSM 111268-2FF, and XXSM 111269-2B—identify it as a first-issue US release, not a later reissue. Condition fractures the market sharply: a Mint copy commands 32.12 USD while a Poor pressing fetches only 1.69 USD, a spread that reflects how heavily collectors grade this title.
With 34 copies currently for sale and 1334 in the community collection against 113 want-list entries, supply outpaces active demand.
What drives its value
The price guide records Mint at 32.12 USD, NM at 28.74 USD, VG+ at 21.98 USD, and VG at 15.21 USD—a steep cliff from M to VG that signals condition-sensitive buyers dominate this market. The lowest asking price sits at 3.11 USD, indicating distressed or heavily played stock moves at a fraction of guide value.
Across 34 active listings, most hover in the VG to VG+ range, where 21.98 USD represents the realistic ceiling for a well-kept copy. The 1334 collectors who own this title against 113 seeking it suggest the pressing is neither rare nor in acute shortage; its value derives from the Brubeck name and the cool-jazz appeal of the program rather than scarcity.
As a US Columbia stereo LP from 1966, it ranks below original mono pressings and earlier stereo issues in collector hierarchy, which caps appreciation.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Columbia catalogue number CS 9237 on the front cover and spine. The dead-wax runout should read one of four matrix variants: XSM 111268 or XSM 111269 on side one, paired with either XSM 111268-2FF or XXSM 111269-2B on side two; these codes are specific to the 1966 US stereo edition and do not appear on mono or foreign pressings.
The label itself bears the Columbia six-eye or later two-eye logo; the six-eye variant (used through the mid-1960s) is marginally more desirable. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches, the jacket for seam splits and foxing, and the inner sleeve for ring wear.
A Mint copy shows no visible play marks; NM permits only light dust; VG+ allows light surface noise on quiet passages; VG accepts moderate crackle but no skips. The stereo separation and the 8-track layout are standard across all pressings of this title.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number for this pressing?
Columbia CS 9237. The 'CS' prefix denotes stereo; mono copies carry the 'CL' prefix and are a separate, earlier pressing.
How do I verify I have the 1966 US pressing and not a reissue?
Check the dead-wax runout on the vinyl itself. The 1966 US stereo pressing carries one of these matrix codes: XSM 111268, XSM 111269, XSM 111268-2FF, or XXSM 111269-2B. Reissues and foreign pressings use different matrix strings.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 21.98 USD. This estimate reflects typical asking prices as of the guide's last update; actual sales may vary, and the lowest current asking price across 34 listings is 3.11 USD.
Why is there such a large price gap between Mint and VG?
Mint copies at 32.12 USD command a premium because they show no play wear, while VG copies at 15.21 USD have accumulated surface noise and minor scratches. Collectors of cool jazz and Brubeck are condition-conscious; a played copy loses half its value even if it plays cleanly.
Is this pressing common or rare?
It is common. The community database shows 1334 collectors own it against only 113 seeking it, and 34 copies are for sale at any given time. The 1966 US stereo pressing was pressed in quantity and remains widely available, which is why even Mint copies do not command premium prices.
