What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1986First released 1966; our table starts at 1986 (Parlophone, Europe). A copy older than 1986 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants1988 US: Reissue, Purple Label; 1992 Japan: Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered; 1995 US: Limited Edition, Reissue, C1, Specialty Pressing. 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, 1995+3 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 1986 Europe pressing it reads “04097 - A RG 106 - A - 1 - T” on side one and “04097 - B RG 106 - B - 1 - T” 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 Revolver is worth the most?

Original 1966 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1986 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 1988 “Reissue, Purple Label” and the 1992 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered”) 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 1986 Europe pressing the runout reads “04097 - A RG 106 - A - 1 - T”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Revolver worth today?

Market prices move, so a static number goes stale fast. Scan the record in the RecordScout app: it identifies your exact pressing from the label and shows a current value range for its condition.
