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 1994 Europe pressing it reads “08 56218 20 1A1 GEc 024725” on side one and “08 56218 20 1B1” on side two. Trust the etching over the jacket: covers get traded around, dead wax stays put.
- 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 1994 jacket is a reissue, whatever the sleeve says: the pressing lives in the runout etching and on the label.
Questions
Which pressing of Hell Freezes Over is worth the most?
The 1994 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 1998 “Limited Edition, Reissue, 180gr” and the 1998 “Limited Edition, Reissue, 180g”) 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 if I have a 1994 original?
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 1994 Europe pressing the runout reads “08 56218 20 1A1 GEc 024725”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
