What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 2020First released 1976; our table starts at 2020 (Fantasy, Europe). A copy older than 2020 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants2020 Europe: Compilation, Limited Edition, Reissue. Scarce on purpose; collectors pay for that.
Reissues, 2020+3 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 2020 Europe pressing it reads “7216748 =2 BK05306-01 A2 HL” on side one and “7216748 +1 BK05306-01 B1 HL” 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 1976 jacket is a reissue, whatever the sleeve says: the pressing lives in the runout etching and on the label.

Questions

Which pressing of Chronicle, The 20 Greatest Hits is worth the most?

Original 1976 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 2020 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2020 “Compilation, Limited Edition, Reissue”) 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 2020 Europe pressing the runout reads “7216748 =2 BK05306-01 A2 HL”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Chronicle, The 20 Greatest Hits worth today?

Sellers ask from $25 for the pressings we track; for the 2020 00888072167483 the median ask is $40 over 10 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.
