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. On the 1987 US pressing it reads “XSM 47855” on side one and “XSM 47856” on side two. Sleeves migrate between copies over the years; the etching stays with the record.
- 3
Grade the condition. Condition multiplies the price: near mint can bring several times what a VG copy does. Vinyl and sleeve get separate grades; the scale is in our grading guide.
Discs and jackets part ways over the decades: a 1959 sleeve proves nothing about the record inside it. The runout etching and the label decide the pressing; the cover never does.
Questions
Which pressing of Time Out is worth the most?
Original 1959 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1987 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2010 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered” and the 2011 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Clear”) 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 1987 US pressing the runout reads “XSM 47855”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
How much is Time Out worth today?
Sellers ask from $16 for the later pressings we have quotes on; for the 2010 88697269441 the median ask is $35 over 5 listings (eBay, Sep 16, 2026). The 1987 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.
