What separates the pressings

Originals, 19892 first-year pressings (France); any of them is an original. Runout on the France copy starts 841 678 1 S1=1 670 07 118.

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 France pressing it reads “841 678 1 S1=1 670 07 118” on side one and “841 678 1 S2=1 670 07 115” 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 Bee Gees Story 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 France pressing the runout reads “841 678 1 S1=1 670 07 118”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Bee Gees Story worth today?
