What separates the pressings

Originals, 19896 first-year pressings (US, UK & Europe, Europe, Canada and 2 more); any of them is an original. Runout on the US copy starts 1-25887-A-SR1-DMM SP1-1 STERLING.

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 1989 US pressing it reads “1-25887-A-SR1-DMM SP1-1 STERLING” on side one and “1-25887-B-SR1-DMM SP1-1 STERLING” on side two. Sleeves migrate between copies over the years; the etching stays with the record.

  3. 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.

Questions

Which pressing of One is worth the most?

The 1989 originals lead. 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 1989 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 1989 US pressing the runout reads “1-25887-A-SR1-DMM SP1-1 STERLING”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is One 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.
