What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1988First released 1965; our table starts at 1988 (CBS, Europe). A copy older than 1988 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants2001 US: Reissue, Mono; 2001 US: Reissue, Remastered, Mono; 2010 Europe: Reissue, Mono, Remastered. Scarce on purpose; collectors pay for that.
Reissues, 1991+4 pressings. Easy to find, priced as listening copies.

How to identify your copy

Three checks, in the order worth doing them.

  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 1988 Europe pressing it reads “CS 9189/65572” on side one and “01-62572-2A-I 01 460953 2A-I” 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.

Do not price the cover. A later disc in a 1965 jacket is a reissue, whatever the sleeve says: the pressing lives in the runout etching and on the label.

Questions

Which pressing of Highway 61 Revisited is worth the most?

Original 1965 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1988 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2001 “Reissue, Mono” and the 2001 “Reissue, Remastered, Mono”) 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 1988 Europe pressing the runout reads “CS 9189/65572”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Highway 61 Revisited 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.
