What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1989First released 1972; our table starts at 1989 (Fantasy, UK). A copy older than 1989 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants2002 US: Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered; 2008 Australia: Limited Edition, Reissue, Red; 2021 Europe: Limited Edition, Reissue, 180 Gram . Scarce on purpose; collectors pay for that.
Reissues, 2008+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 1989 UK pressing it reads “DMC 8830 A-177-89” on side one and “DMC 8830 B-177-89” 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 1972 jacket is a reissue, whatever the sleeve says: the pressing lives in the runout etching and on the label.

Questions

Which pressing of Mardi Gras is worth the most?

Original 1972 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1989 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2002 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered” and the 2008 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Red”) 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 1989 UK pressing the runout reads “DMC 8830 A-177-89”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Mardi Gras worth today?

Sellers ask from $20 for the later pressings we have quotes on; for the 2008 9404 the median ask is $36 over 6 listings (eBay, Sep 22, 2026). The 1989 pressings have no quoted range right now. Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
