What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 2001First released 1967; our table starts at 2001 (4 Men With Beards, US). A copy older than 2001 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants2013 Europe: Reissue, Mono, 180 Gram; 2025 US: Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue. Scarce on purpose; collectors pay for that.
Reissues, 2001Easy to find, priced as a listening copy.

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 2001 US pressing it reads “4M-101 A1” on side one and “4M-101 B1” 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 I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You is worth the most?

Original 1967 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 2001 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2013 “Reissue, Mono, 180 Gram” and the 2025 “Limited Edition, Numbered, 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 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 2001 US pressing the runout reads “4M-101 A1”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You worth today?
