About this record
The 1969 London Records pressing NPS-4 bears runouts etched with XZAL 9363 and XZAL 9364, identifying it as a Columbia Records Pressing Plant product from Terre Haute rather than the Sterling-cut variant (catalogue 4518750). The matte cover arrived with a printed inner sleeve, lyrics sheet, and poster—some copies including a fan club application.
Demand among collectors remains substantial: 2292 want it against 8421 who own one, yet only 44 copies currently list for sale, with the lowest asking 9.97.
What drives its value
This original 1969 US pressing commands a steep condition-dependent spread. A Mint copy reaches 359.82, while NM sits at 321.94, VG+ at 246.19, and VG at 170.44—a reflection of the record's age and the rarity of well-preserved copies.
The 44 active listings suggest tight supply relative to the 2292 collectors actively seeking it. As the first pressing on London Records (NPS-4), it holds primacy over the 2016 Time Life reissue (A 31837 Z).
The Terre Haute plant attribution and the etched runout matrix XZAL-9363 -2 T 1 and XZAL-9364-2 -2 C2 T 1 confirm pressing authenticity. Grading accuracy is critical: even a drop from VG+ (246.19) to VG (170.44) erodes value substantially on a record where condition separates investment-grade copies from playable ones.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the catalogue number NPS-4 on the spine and label. The dead-wax etchings XZAL 9363 (side A) and XZAL 9364 (side B) confirm the Terre Haute plant origin; the Sterling variant (4518750) will show different matrix codes.
Check the label for the misprint 'Gimmie Shelter' on track A1—the correct spelling appears only on later pressings. The matte cover (not glossy) and printed inner sleeve with poster are original-issue markers.
Inspect the groove walls under light for hairline marks that distinguish VG+ from VG; surface noise during playback of the quieter passages (especially 'Midnight Rambler') will reveal whether a copy grades VG (170.44 territory) or lower. The absence of a barcode confirms 1969 manufacture.
Look for the Nanker Phelge Music Ltd. credit in the dead wax or label fine print to rule out reissues.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this 1969 pressing from the Sterling-cut variant?
The runout matrix is the definitive marker. This Terre Haute pressing shows XZAL 9363 and XZAL 9364 etched in the dead wax. The Sterling variant (catalogue 4518750) carries different matrix codes. You can also cross-reference the pressing plant credit: Nanker Phelge Music Ltd. / ABKCO for this version.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 246.19. This represents a record with light surface noise audible only on quiet passages and minimal visual wear to the vinyl surface. The jump to VG (170.44) reflects the market's sensitivity to condition on original 1969 pressings.
Why is the label misspelling 'Gimmie Shelter' significant?
The 1969 pressing labels and inserts spell the track 'Gimmie Shelter' (track A1), a documented error on this edition. Later reissues and pressings correct it to 'Gimme Shelter.' This quirk is a quick authentication point and a minor historical oddity that collectors note.
What should I expect to pay for a copy in playable condition?
A VG graded copy—playable with noticeable surface noise and light wear—is priced at 170.44 in the guide. Below that, a G+ copy reaches 94.69. The lowest current asking price across all 44 active listings is 9.97, but that reflects heavily played or damaged stock.
Does this pressing come with any inserts or extras?
Yes. Original 1969 copies arrived with a printed inner sleeve containing lyrics, a poster, and—on some copies—a Rolling Stones fan club application. The matte cover (not glossy) is also original to this pressing. These elements are part of the complete package and affect collectibility if missing.
