What separates the pressings

Originals, 20207 first-year pressings (US, UK & Europe, Europe, Japan); any of them is an original. Runout on the US copy starts “AL19439725561 RE1 RKS STERLING 35186.1(3)...”.
Collector variants2020 Europe: Limited Edition, Red Opaque; 2020 Europe: Limited Edition, Yellow Transparent; 2020 Europe: Limited Edition, Picture Disc. Short runs like these often bring more than a standard early copy.
JapanPressed to high standards and collected separately; a copy with the original obi strip is a different record to collectors than one without.

How to identify your copy

Three checks, in the order worth doing them.

  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 2020 US pressing it reads “AL19439725561 RE1 RKS STERLING 35186.1(3)...” on side one and “BL19439725561 RE1 RKS STERLING 35186.2(3)…” on side two. Jackets get swapped over the decades; the runout does not.

  3. 3

    Grade the condition. The same pressing can be worth several times more in near mint than in VG. Grade the vinyl and the sleeve separately — our grading guide shows the standard scale.

A 2020 jacket with a later disc inside is a reissue in an original sleeve. Judge the pressing by the runout etching and the label, never by the cover.

Questions

Which pressing of PWR/UP is worth the most?

The 2020 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 2020 “Limited Edition, Red Opaque” and the 2020 “Limited Edition, Yellow Transparent”) 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 if I have a 2020 original?

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 2020 US pressing the runout reads “AL19439725561 RE1 RKS STERLING 35186.1(3)...”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is PWR/UP worth today?
