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 2003 Europe pressing it reads “B382800-01 A1 A33 0755960675 1 S1 320” on side one and “B382800-01 B A33 07559606751 S2 320” 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 1970 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 Morrison Hotel is worth the most?
Original 1970 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 2003 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2020 “Deluxe Edition, Limited Edition, Numbered” and the 2021 “Deluxe Edition, Limited Edition, Picture Disc”) 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 2003 Europe pressing the runout reads “B382800-01 A1 A33 0755960675 1 S1 320”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
How much is Morrison Hotel worth today?
Sellers ask from $24 for the later pressings we have quotes on; for the 2009 8122-79865-3 the median ask is $37 over 6 listings (eBay, Sep 23, 2026). The 2003 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.
