About this record
The dead-wax stamp on this 1964 Philips pressing reveals a Santa Maria pressing plant origin — a detail that separates it from other Four Seasons reissues of the era. Catalogue PHS 600-124 pairs a 12-track vocal-pop-rock lineup with stereo separation across two sides, marked by the matrix codes o PHS600124A- M1 PL 1S S and o PHS600124B- M1 S 11 in the runout.
With 18 copies currently listed for sale and a lowest asking price of 0.86 USD, this title sits at the deep end of the secondary market.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire price structure on this US Philips pressing. A Mint copy commands 17.78 USD, while a Near Mint drops to 15.90 USD—a modest premium for preservation.
The real market action occurs at VG+, where the guide price is 12.16 USD; most copies in circulation fall here or lower. A VG copy trades at 8.42 USD, and the floor accelerates downward through Good+ (4.68 USD) and Good (2.81 USD).
The 18 copies currently for sale reflect modest collector demand: 493 have the record, but only 55 want it. This imbalance—roughly a 9:1 ratio of ownership to active demand—explains why even pristine examples struggle to sustain four-figure prices.
The Santa Maria pressing plant attribution adds minor provenance value but does not override the fundamental abundance of this title in the market.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Philips label, catalogue number PHS 600-124 (note the hyphenated and non-hyphenated variants both appear in the data). The dead-wax runout must read o PHS600124A- M1 PL 1S S on Side A and o PHS600124B- M1 S 11 on Side B—these codes are specific to the Columbia Records Pressing Plant facility in Santa Maria.
The stereo designation and 12-track configuration are consistent across all known copies. No barcode was applied to this 1964 release.
Grade by inspecting the vinyl surface under bright light: Mint means no visible wear, NM allows only light dust, VG+ shows light surface marks but no audible distortion, and VG exhibits clear groove wear and light crackle. The jacket and labels should be assessed separately from the vinyl itself, as the price guide reflects the record alone.

Frequently asked
What is this record actually worth?
The price depends entirely on condition. The price guide lists a Mint copy at 17.78 USD, but only 18 copies are for sale across all platforms, and the lowest asking price is 0.86 USD—suggesting many sellers have priced aggressively to move stock. A VG+ copy, the most common grade on the secondary market, is estimated at 12.16 USD. Realistically, expect to pay between 8.42 USD (VG) and 12.16 USD (VG+) for a playable copy.
How do I know if I have the Santa Maria pressing?
Check the dead-wax runout groove on both sides of the vinyl under strong light. Side A should read o PHS600124A- M1 PL 1S S, and Side B should read o PHS600124B- M1 S 11. These matrix stamps are unique to the Columbia Records Pressing Plant in Santa Maria. If the runout differs, you have a different pressing or a counterfeit.
Is this a first pressing or a reissue?
This is a 1964 US pressing on Philips, issued during the Four Seasons' initial commercial peak. The Santa Maria plant attribution and matrix codes confirm this is an original-era pressing rather than a later reissue. Reissues typically carry different matrix codes and pressing plant stamps.
Why is there such a big gap between the Mint price (17.78 USD) and the VG price (8.42 USD)?
Condition is the sole differentiator on a common title like this. A Mint copy is exceptionally rare—most records from 1964 show at least light wear after 60 years. VG copies are abundant, so the market prices them aggressively. The 493 collectors who own this record likely hold VG or VG+ copies; very few preserve Mint examples, which commands a proportional premium.
Should I buy this if I see it in a thrift store?
Only if the vinyl is graded VG+ or better and the price is under 12.16 USD. At VG grade (8.42 USD) or lower, you are paying near or above the market floor. The 18 copies currently listed for sale indicate no scarcity; patience will yield a better deal. Check the dead-wax matrix to confirm you have the Santa Maria pressing before committing.
