About this record
The 1972 London Records pressing of More Hot Rocks ships as a 2-LP set with auto-coupled sides: record 1 plays sides A and D, record 2 plays sides B and C, a configuration that distinguishes it from standard sequential pressings. Manufactured by Abkco Records and pressed at H.V.
Waddell Co., the runout matrices SAHS 1636 W through SAHS 1639 W identify this US edition, which carries catalogue numbers 2PS 626 and 2PS 627 on the center labels but 2PS 626/7 on the gatefold spine. The 25-track compilation includes a full-color printed inner sleeve on each LP, and the center label layout differs from other pressings of the same year and label.
What drives its value
Condition drives the price spread on this pressing: a Mint copy reaches 71.01 USD, while NM sits at 63.54 USD, VG+ at 48.59 USD, and VG at 33.64 USD—a steep decline that reflects sensitivity to surface wear on a 1972 pressing. The lowest asking price across 41 copies currently for sale is 4.29 USD, indicating a wide range of condition and seller expectations.
Community ownership is strong: 1185 collectors have the record against 89 who want it, suggesting ready availability but sustained collector interest. The auto-coupled side configuration and dual-label numbering (2PS 626/7 on spine versus 2PS 626 and 2PS 627 on labels) are specific to this pressing, making it distinct from other 1972 US London Records releases of the same title.
Rating of 4.24 across 71 votes reflects solid but not exceptional collector regard.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue numbers 2PS 626 and 2PS 627 printed on the center labels and 2PS 626/7 on the gatefold spine. The runout etchings SAHS 1636 W, SAHS 1637 W, SAHS 1638 W, and SAHS 1639 W (one per side across the 2-LP set) mark H.V.
Waddell Co. as the pressing plant; the "W" suffix denotes the pressing ring size. The release notes confirm Abkco Records, Inc. as manufacturer and copyright holder (Ⓟ1972).
Grading hinges on the auto-coupled configuration: verify that record 1 contains sides A and D and record 2 contains sides B and C. Examine the center label layout for the specific design used on this pressing, which differs from other 1972 issues.
Each LP should include a full-color printed inner sleeve. Surface noise, groove wear, and label condition determine the grade; a Mint copy shows no signs of play, while VG copies show light surface marks and minor label wear.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number for this pressing?
The gatefold spine reads 2PS 626/7, while the center labels of each LP are printed 2PS 626 (record 1) and 2PS 627 (record 2). This dual-label numbering is specific to the 1972 London Records US pressing and distinguishes it from other releases of the same title.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 48.59 USD. This represents a significant drop from the NM price of 63.54 USD, reflecting the sensitivity of 1972 pressings to visible wear and surface noise.
What does 'auto-coupled' mean on this record?
Auto-coupled means the 2-LP set is configured so that record 1 plays sides A and D, and record 2 plays sides B and C, rather than the standard sequential arrangement (sides A and B on record 1, sides C and D on record 2). This layout is documented in the release notes and is a defining feature of this pressing.
How do I identify the pressing plant?
The runout matrices SAHS 1636 W, SAHS 1637 W, SAHS 1638 W, and SAHS 1639 W are etched into the dead wax of each side. The "W" suffix indicates H.V. Waddell Co. as the pressing plant and denotes the pressing ring size used during manufacture.
What is the lowest price I should expect to pay?
The lowest asking price across 41 copies currently listed is 4.29 USD, though this likely represents heavily played or damaged copies. A VG copy is priced at 33.64 USD according to the price guide, offering a more realistic entry point for a playable example of this 1972 pressing.
