What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1989First released 1978; our table starts at 1989 (Albert Productions, Australia & New Zealand). A copy older than 1989 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants2024 Europe: Reissue, Remastered, Gold, 180g, 50th Anniversary ; 2024 US: Reissue, Remastered, Gold, 50th Anniversary . Scarce on purpose; collectors pay for that.
Reissues, 1990+4 pressings. Easy to find, priced as listening copies.

How to identify your copy

  1. 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. 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 “Mx252063 465260-1 MR I” on side one and “Mx252066 465260-1 MR II” on side two. Trust the etching over the jacket: covers get traded around, dead wax stays put.

  3. 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.

Questions

Which pressing of Powerage is worth the most?

Original 1978 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 2024 “Reissue, Remastered, Gold, 180g, 50th Anniversary ” and the 2024 “Reissue, Remastered, Gold, 50th Anniversary ”) 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 “Mx252063 465260-1 MR I”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Powerage worth today?

Sellers ask from $29 for the pressings we track; for the 2024 19658834601 the median ask is $51 over 6 listings (eBay, Sep 18, 2026). Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
