What separates the pressings
How to identify your copy
Three checks, in the order worth doing them.
- 1
Match the catalog number. It is printed on the spine and the record label. Check it together with the country against the pressings table above: the same number can appear in more than one country.
- 2
Read the runout. The code etched in the dead wax near the label names the exact pressing. On the 1989 Australia & New Zealand pressing it reads “MX 252067 456261-1-1” on side one and “MX 252068 456261-1-2” on side two. Trust the etching over the jacket: covers get traded around, dead wax stays put.
- 3
Grade the condition. A clean copy and a worn one of the same pressing sit several grades, and several multiples, apart. Grade record and sleeve separately; see our grading guide.
Do not price the cover. A later disc in a 1979 jacket is a reissue, whatever the sleeve says: the pressing lives in the runout etching and on the label.
Questions
Which pressing of Highway To Hell is worth the most?
Original 1979 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1989 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 1998 “Limited Edition, Reissue, 180 Gram” and the 2024 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered”) can beat an ordinary early copy. After that it is all condition: the gap between near mint and VG is usually larger than the gap between pressings.
How do I tell which pressing I have?
Match the catalog number on the spine and label against the table above, check the country, then read the etched code in the runout groove. On the 1989 Australia & New Zealand pressing the runout reads “MX 252067 456261-1-1”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
How much is Highway To Hell worth today?
Sellers ask from $23 for the pressings we track; for the 2003 E 80206 the median ask is $31 over 9 listings (eBay, Sep 23, 2026). Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
