About this record
This European CBS reissue carries the matrix S 62068-A Ⓗ and S 62068-B Ⓗ etched into the runouts—a hallmark of CBS's Dutch pressing plants. The Mint-to-Good spread runs from 245.51 USD down to 38.76 USD, a span that reflects how sharply condition determines value on this particular pressing, where only 11 copies currently list for sale and the floor sits at 28.9 USD.
What drives its value
The CBS Netherlands pressing commands a premium tied entirely to condition grade. A Mint copy reaches 245.51 USD, while a Near Mint drops to 219.66 USD; the VG+ tier holds at 167.98 USD and VG copies trade around 116.29 USD.
The 11 active listings suggest scarcity relative to demand—620 collectors want it against 1218 who own one—but the European CBS pressing occupies a middle tier between the original 1959 US Columbia (CL 1397) and later reissues. The orange CBS label and etched runouts confirm the Dutch plant origin.
Below VG, values compress sharply: G+ sits at 64.61 USD and G at 38.76 USD, indicating that wear significantly erodes appeal on this reissue.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the CBS catalogue number S 62068 on the label and sleeve back. The runout etchings should read S 62068-A Ⓗ on side A and S 62068-B Ⓗ on side B—the circled H denotes the pressing plant.
Look for the orange CBS label and confirm the sleeve back states either no print code (oldest variant), "B," or "CB 271" to narrow the variant. The release notes confirm this pressing predates BIEM/STEMRA markings and includes the original 8192 catalogue number on the sleeve back.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under strong light for hairline scratches and inner-groove distortion; play-test both sides to confirm tracking without skips. The stereo designation and 7-track count should match the label.

Frequently asked
What is this pressing worth in Near Mint condition?
According to the price guide, a Near Mint copy is valued at 219.66 USD. This represents a 25.85 USD drop from Mint, reflecting the sensitivity of the market to even minor surface wear on this European reissue.
How do I know if I have the CBS Netherlands pressing and not another variant?
Check the dead-wax etchings on both sides: they must read S 62068-A Ⓗ and S 62068-B Ⓗ. The circled H is the key identifier of the Dutch plant. The label should be orange CBS, and the sleeve back will show either no code, "B," or "CB 271" depending on the release order within the NL series.
Why is the price spread so wide between Mint and Good condition?
Mint copies sell for 245.51 USD while Good-graded copies fetch only 38.76 USD—a steep drop driven by collector preference for unplayed or near-unplayed jazz reissues. Surface noise and groove wear on lower-graded pressings significantly diminish appeal, even though the music remains audible.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
The price guide lists VG+ at 167.98 USD. This grade represents vinyl with light surface marks visible under close inspection but minimal impact on playback. It is the sweet spot for collectors seeking a clean, listenable copy without paying Mint premiums.
How does this CBS pressing compare to the original 1959 Columbia release?
The original 1959 US Columbia pressing (CL 1397) typically commands higher prices among collectors seeking first pressings. This European CBS reissue, pressed in the Netherlands, serves the secondary market and is valued for its own pressing characteristics—the etched runouts and orange label—rather than original-issue status. Demand of 620 want-list entries suggests strong collector interest in the title across all pressings.
