What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1984First released 1973; our table starts at 1984 (Columbia, US). A copy older than 1984 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants2013 Europe: Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue; 2013 Europe: Reissue, Remastered, Red Label, 180 gram; 2013 US: Numbered, Reissue, Remastered. Scarce on purpose; collectors pay for that.
JapanPressed to high standards and collected separately; a copy with the original obi strip is a different record to collectors than one without.
Reissues, 1990+9 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 1984 US pressing it reads “AL 32005” on side one and “BL 32005” 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 Aerosmith (self-titled) is worth the most?

Original 1973 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1984 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2013 “Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue” and the 2013 “Reissue, Remastered, Red Label, 180 gram”) 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 1984 US pressing the runout reads “AL 32005”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Aerosmith (self-titled) worth today?

Sellers typically ask $15 to $72 for the pressings we track; for the 1984 PC 32005 the median ask is $40 over 5 listings (eBay, Sep 21, 2026). Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
