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 1992 Croatia pressing it reads “LP2039139A 71092” on side one and “LP2039139B 71092” 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 1992 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 Unplugged is worth the most?
The 1992 originals lead. Scarcer variants (the 2024 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Orange/purple swirl”) 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 1992 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 1992 Croatia pressing the runout reads “LP2039139A 71092”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
How much is Unplugged worth today?
Sellers ask from $39 for the pressings we track (eBay, Sep 22, 2026). Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
