What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1983First released 1970; our table starts at 1983 (Fantasy, Italy). A copy older than 1983 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants2002 US: Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered; 2020 Europe: Limited Edition, Reissue, Blue Vinyl; 2021 US: Club Edition, Limited Edition, Numbered. Scarce on purpose; collectors pay for that.
Reissues, 2008+6 pressings. Easy to find, priced as listening copies.

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 1983 Italy pressing it reads “ORCI 4517 A” on side one and “ORCI 4517 B” 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 Pendulum is worth the most?

Original 1970 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1983 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2002 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered” and the 2020 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Blue Vinyl”) 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 1983 Italy pressing the runout reads “ORCI 4517 A”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Pendulum worth today?

Sellers ask from $7 for the later pressings we have quotes on; for the 2021 CR00129 the median ask is $35 over 10 listings (eBay, Sep 21, 2026). The 1983 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.
