What separates the pressings
How to identify your copy
Three checks, in the order worth doing them.
- 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
Read the runout. The code etched in the dead wax near the label names the exact pressing. Jackets get swapped over the decades; the runout does not.
- 3
Grade the condition. The same pressing can be worth several times more in near mint than in VG. Grade the vinyl and the sleeve separately — our grading guide shows the standard scale.
A 1969 jacket with a later disc inside is a reissue in an original sleeve. Judge the pressing by the runout etching and the label, never by the cover.
Questions
Which pressing of Bayou Country is worth the most?
Original 1969 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1975 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 1975 “Promo” and the 2002 “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. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
How much is Bayou Country worth today?
Sellers typically ask $26 to $69 for the pressings we track; for the 2014 8387 the median ask is $43 over 7 listings (eBay, Sep 21, 2026). Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
