About this record
The 1971 London Records two-LP set 2PS 606/7 carries four distinct matrix runouts—XZAL 11015 AL, XZAL 11016 AL, XZAL 11017 AL, and XZAL 11018GL AL—pressed by either ABKCO Records, Inc. or Audio Manufacturing Record Co., a detail that separates early copies from later stock. Demand sits at 509 want against 10328 have in the collector base, signaling a title that moves steadily but remains widely available.
The 21-track compilation spans material from 1965 through 1971, each side marked with its original copyright year on the label itself.
What drives its value
The 2PS 606/7 trades on its role as the definitive mid-market Stones compilation rather than rarity. With 10328 copies held across the collector community against 509 active want-list entries, supply comfortably exceeds demand, keeping prices moderate across all grades.
The two-LP format and the inclusion of the 211-reasons insert—a period marketing artifact—drive collector interest more than scarcity. Condition separates value here: a Mint copy commands premium money, while VG and VG+ copies trade in the mid-range.
The pressing plant attribution (ABKCO Records, Inc. or Audio Manufacturing Record Co.) and the specific matrix suffix AL appear on the spine catalogue 2PS 606/7, details that confirm authenticity but do not materially shift pricing. This is a working copy for Stones fans, not a chase pressing.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm the pressing by the spine catalogue 2PS 606/7 and the label designations: 2PS 606 on sides 1 and 2, 2PS 607 on sides 3 and 4. The four-side matrix runouts—XZAL 11015 AL, XZAL 11016 AL, XZAL 11017 AL, and XZAL 11018GL AL—appear in the dead wax and identify the pressing plant as either ABKCO Records, Inc. or Audio Manufacturing Record Co.; the AL suffix denotes a London Records pressing.
The label itself carries individual copyright years for each track: 1965 for A1–A4 and A6; 1966 for A5, B1–B4; 1967 for B5 and B6; 1968 for C1–C3; 1969 for C4 and D2; 1970 for C5 and D1; and 1971 for D3 and D4. The insert titled "211 reasons why The Rolling Stones is the world's greatest rock and roll band" with album covers and songs is original to this release.
Grade by sleeve wear, label condition, and vinyl surface; the absence of a barcode confirms this as a 1971 pressing rather than a later reissue.

Frequently asked
How do I verify this is the original 1971 London Records pressing and not a reissue?
Check the spine for catalogue 2PS 606/7 and the label for the split catalogue numbers: 2PS 606 on sides 1 and 2, 2PS 607 on sides 3 and 4. The dead wax will show one of four matrix runouts—XZAL 11015 AL, XZAL 11016 AL, XZAL 11017 AL, or XZAL 11018GL AL—and the pressing plant credit to either ABKCO Records, Inc. or Audio Manufacturing Record Co. The absence of a barcode confirms 1971 manufacture. Later reissues carry different catalogue numbers and matrix codes.
What is the community demand for this title?
509 collectors have this title on their want list against 10328 who already own a copy. The ratio indicates steady but not urgent demand; this is a standard compilation that most Stones collectors eventually acquire rather than a chase pressing. The community rating stands at 4.37 across 548 ratings, reflecting broad satisfaction with the track selection and packaging.
Does the pressing plant matter for value or sound?
The matrix suffix AL identifies the pressing as a London Records product, but both ABKCO Records, Inc. and Audio Manufacturing Record Co. manufactured copies in 1971. Neither plant is known to command a premium over the other on this title. The pressing plant attribution is a verification tool rather than a value driver.
What is the significance of the copyright years printed on the label?
Each side carries the original copyright year of its tracks: 1965 for the earliest material (A1–A4, A6), 1966 for A5 and B1–B4, 1967 for B5–B6, 1968 for C1–C3, 1969 for C4 and D2, 1970 for C5 and D1, and 1971 for D3–D4. This labeling reflects the span of the compilation and helps confirm the pressing's authenticity; reissues often omit or alter these copyright notations.
Is the "211 reasons" insert original to this pressing?
Yes. The insert titled "211 reasons why The Rolling Stones is the world's greatest rock and roll band" with album covers and songs is documented as part of the 1971 release. Its presence or absence is a condition marker; a complete copy commands a premium over one missing the insert, as the insert is fragile and often discarded or lost over 50+ years.
