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 1993 Brazil pressing it reads “BMG 126.8005-A GEF.24444 DISCO1-A 1STA2” on side one and “BMG 126.8005-B GEF.24444 DISCO1-B 1STA3” on side two. Sleeves migrate between copies over the years; the etching stays with the record.
- 3
Grade the condition. Condition multiplies the price: near mint can bring several times what a VG copy does. Vinyl and sleeve get separate grades; the scale is in our grading guide.
Discs and jackets part ways over the decades: a 1993 sleeve proves nothing about the record inside it. The runout etching and the label decide the pressing; the cover never does.
Questions
Which pressing of Get A Grip is worth the most?
The 1993 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 1993 “Limited Edition” and the 1997 “Limited Edition, Reissue”) 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 1993 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 1993 Brazil pressing the runout reads “BMG 126.8005-A GEF.24444 DISCO1-A 1STA2”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
How much is Get A Grip worth today?
Sellers typically ask $46 to $99 for the later pressings we have quotes on; for the 2016 B0025184-01 the median ask is $54 over 7 listings (eBay, Sep 21, 2026).
