What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1991First released 1977; our table starts at 1991 (DJM, Spain). A copy older than 1991 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variantsUndated Greece: Compilation, Reissue, Test Pressing. Scarce on purpose; collectors pay for that.
Reissues, 1991Easy to find, priced as a listening copy.

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. 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 1977 jacket is a reissue, whatever the sleeve says: the pressing lives in the runout etching and on the label.

Questions

Which pressing of Greatest Hits Volume II is worth the most?

Original 1977 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1991 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the undated “Compilation, Reissue, Test Pressing”) 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. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Greatest Hits Volume II worth today?

Market prices move, so a static number goes stale fast. Scan the record in the RecordScout app: it identifies your exact pressing from the label and shows a current value range for its condition.
